As Bikey is still not fixed i am going to start bombarding you all with Yam pictures, which i know is wrong but if Bikey gets fixed than this problem will go away..... (hint hint)
So this weekend i was out and about just exploring and getting to know the Yam. I washed him, which always make me feel like he is a shoddy product with his silly flexible panels, feels like it could have been finished better, WD40'ed him and then headed out to enjoy the sun! Stopped at Devils bridge, a pretty popular bike meet and then headed off to explore!
Unfortunately the Yam seems to be a bit of a drama queen. We came across a ford, i stopped, looked at it and decided it probably wasnt too deep. Unfortunately it was deeper than it looked and with his silly scoop thing under the radiator he tends to catch the water. it was also slippy as hell and the tyres have no tread in the middle. I did managed to get to the other side but not without thinking i was going to lose it! Managed to ride out the other side and take the picture and then set off along the single track road, which was covered in mud and got narrower and narrower and muddier and muddier.....at which point the back end slipped again but managed to catch it. 5 more miles down this track i was really beginning to dread having to turn around and cross the ford again but i found a village which had another exit! i think he either needs better tyres or i need to avoid fords in the future.....Bikey would have done it
