Went to see the Ramses II exhibition in Battersea Power station today. It was really cool. Got a few nice shots.
Sorry for only turning up here a hammered and getting triggered by the bad stuff in the world and daft folk who seem to enjoy it.
Nearly have a house to be proud of but I just haven't stopped in nearly four years. Yes I've been drinking too much an making a tit out of myself on here. I'm ok. I'm no Ramses II though. 7 wives. 100 children that we know of! 90 years old nearly four thousand years ago. His mummy is one of the better preserved and he was issued a passport in 1974 when he was sent on a medical emergency to treat a fungal infection in France lol.

Ramses II - The Great - Exhibition 2026 - London-8199.jpg
they are a great bike but not without their problems, as said above all the spiders on the loom corode, rear suspension needs regular care, cam chain tensioner if not replaced with modified one with green spot can fail, front fork seals can be a pain,
Just finished off the de spider loom today. Rear suspension looks good bar some flaky paint on spring. May fit a yss in time.
CCT i installed the newer model with green spot to avoid any issues.
Seals look ok but again i might still service them at end summer.
Ignition switch is also an issues but upgrade isnt sold any more. What i am doing is fitting a 70amp relay to key is only switching on and off the relay and not taking the full battery load and risiking key switch issues. Also should allow me hot wire bike via the relay socket if anything goes wrong
Well that's it al done and being using it for work last while. Got back on my Tenere 700 today and wow it feels so light, nimble and so easy ride compared to it. It is taking some getting used to with the auto clutch system and getting back into a sports bike position
To date the following was done:
Valves checked and all in spec
New valve gasket to be safe
New coolant hard piping
New rad as old one was showing it age
Took the PAIR system out
Brodie Grounding harness
Brodie Ignition harness
Cam chain Tensioner
Front and rear camera
Serviced rear linkage
Bled brakes
Flushed liquids

Checked all pedal linkages and springs.
Needs a new rear tyre at some point.
