Dutch Navigator

No milk today! 😇

Austria is beautiful...... Near the Kaunertal (glacier) 2750 meters altitude and Lake Silvretta.

I will post some pictures from the Alps

'Busy' week next week: 7-day trip to the Alps in Austria with a BMW K1600GT and my BMW K1300GT. But first: Episode Fourteen. One more to go!

There is a limit to our mental health and listening to this 'music'.....😇. We'll figure it out.

Well, today was D-Day part one: battery power back to the bike. Everything worked, no fuses blown, no smoke. Great! Almost....... We can't get the cassette out of the cassette player. The cassette is running and we heard some awful 'German Schlagermuzik', but the cassette doesn't come out of the player and the dash says 'Err'. Is there a way to release the cassette? (End of the weak is D-Day part two: trying to start the engine!)

Congrats!

Naaldwijk: flowers and vegetables! Nice to read you have Dutch roots.

You're very familiar with the Dutch traditions!

These were new. I had wooden shoes when I was a little kid. It takes a while before your feet get used to these wooden shoes (Dutch: 'klompen'). There are still farmers in my village wearing these every day.

Part 13 of these video series. Two more to go!

What a great forum and what a great people! Thanks guys. We succeeded in mounting it the right way. Hard to see on the picture but follow the tube. We worked hard today:

Thanks. Even the Clymer manual isn't very clear about this.

I'm lost, well sort of. Need help to mount the vacuum pump on the right side of the bike. Any help appreciated! vac

Maybe MetalRoute.pl is an option. I bought one and it's good quality. https://www.metalroute.pl/eng_m_Motorcycle-Accessories-521.html?filter_traits[270]=271

100KPH(62.13MPH) 5L/100KM (47.04MPG) 110KPH(68.35MPH) 5.5L/100KM(42.77MPG) That's pretty good imho!

Thanks for the advise, appreciated!

Yep, we followed the book....... and added some grease (moly).

It's going fast now......

Awesome!

Episode Eleven........time flies. Next week all the engine covers and parts will be mounted. The bike will get new fluids. In total we've invested about $5400 (5100) euro's so far........

The re-building continues..........

We closed the COVID-chapter last week, so let's continue! First we sprayed a layer of rust protection on the inside of the fenders: Second, we added some chrome parts to the fenders: Awesome! Some bearings from the back wheel are damaged. Probably by ourselves when dismounting these parts. We ordered a couple of new ones:

Thank you!

Thank you and and we will! A bit slow next week. We're both caught by COVID. It's more like a cold. We'll survive.
