Techenders - 21st to 23rd April - Who's coming?

Looks brilliant. I wish I could have come! (at work yesterday and today...)

 

Mrs Robo left with the pooch leaving the kids & me to stay around a bit longer.

I milled around a bit & an old chap drove in to visit in his bug he had restored himself in the 90's





When I finally said let's go I found the kids constructing a very fitting tribute...





It was a great weekend, thanks to everyone who attended & as usual Eddy, Jackie & Victoria Farm for hosting

We are home van all cleaned, unpacked and parked in the garage had a great weekend on our first techenders. Met some really nice people my daughter is now a part of the pit crew ( see earlier picture ) watched and hindered whilst @1973daisey worked on his van and engine got my drivers door adjusted a big thanks to @davidoft for doing that the guy knows his stuff he should do it for a living lol. We parked next to the party van and slept throughout and generally had a good time hope to see you all again in September when I'm hoping to have a few jobs of my own to do.

 

Minimal accidents this weekend until we got home... mini miss Robo decides to drop her phone down the toilet and mini mr Robo puts the wrong key in his jeep and snaps it off in the ignition

uneventful journey home. cruising at 65 all the way over took a T4 and a few other stupid slow cars. and thanks to the idiot who pulled out really slowly in front of me just as i got to him and had to slam on.

 

Great weekend and a good journey home which was a little interesting when a total A-wipe overtook @Lasty 's mate Paul (sorry Paul but I don't know your name on here) on the Hard shoulder of the M1, probably going 80! Scary, what a muppet!

Just like to thank Mrs Robo for her generous offerings of Jam & cream scones
Until next time !!!

I take it that it was you @paul2590
I'm not sure if you saw him as he went on your inside but the muck thrown up from the hard shoulder looked like a pileup was happening. He must have had a shock over that Honda Goldwing that was in front of you!

I've seen some muppets in my time but that was scary to watch, I couldn't believe it when he then pulled away into the outside lane and I saw the bike in front of you.
Glad that you got home safely.

That's exactly what went through my mind. It might e nannyish but if I'd had one I would have sent it to the police as he went close in front of me so I would have had his number..
At least he didn't r
Prang you, but mush have chucked up loads of stones as he went by.

Agreed...what a lovely touch..thank you @Mrs_Robo ...can we have pimms to wash them down next time please?

 

Got home a few hours back - 138 miles in 2h15 mins: tried to really thrash it : the rev counter accused me of 4790rpm peak.. and got it hotter than coming up - no misfire. Must have been a loose spade connector on the coil - I took them all off and gave them a gentle squeeze with some pliers.
Running gently up hill towards the Ridgeway hill on the A34 at 68mph the CHT gauge (not on spark plug) hit 135 degrees and the oil sat around 117, even with the cooler working. Got to the top of the hill in fourth gear, so no problem, was overtaking stuff on the smaller hills following.

A great way to spend my birthday!
