Be a man: rubber hose and... suck it (don't drink it
).Jokes apart, fuel seems ok. I had to clean a fuel tank from congealed fuel... that was a pain in the ass.
Thousands of miles away from Yorkshire, towards the east apparently according to my mother.
Done it, wife said I reeked of petrol. I said I have it a suck job.Be a man: rubber hose and... suck it (don't drink it

anyway, Hilka pump worked a treat.
Bike had started on the button, with battery at 99% charge.
Have installed Oberon bar end mirrors that I have purchased from these very pages well over 3 years ago. February 2021 actually, according to a postage stamp.
Aluminium genuine BMW side covers to hide the battery and air box.

Unit Garage rear rack. Wife feeling much more confident handling the bike now, having got something more solid to get hold off, instead of a feeble pillion strap, that I have removed now.
A BMW Pannier Bag, that she will be able to carry her work laptop and notebook in, on her commutes into the office.
Finally some fancier BMW brake and clutch levers.
The stupid QuadLock mount is going too. She hated I from the word go. I’ve only got it for her, due to the built up influencer hype. In reality, it is crap, SP Connect however even worse.

How did you know?!
My Rover something or other Briggs & Stratton Powered mower, that must’ve at least 30 years old, is happy to run on almost anything. I’ve purchased it some 18-19 years ago for £30 from a car boot sale. Including petrol that had some diesel in it (but not overly happily), when wife years ago filled her diesel VW Polo with 10L of petrolNice one, but the measurements between the green ties are not quite equal
My Honda lawn mower won't run on old petrol, it needs super dooper unleaded. If I don't put fresh petrol it in it thows a wobbler and refuses to start even if the petrol in there is super U/L from the previous year. Cantancerous bugger.
circa 13L of mixed fuel lasted a season and a half. I am sure this oldish fuel from the R9T will be just fine, as I’ve mixed it in with couple of Liters of fresh stuff too.
Wife sadly did not like the look of it.Looks great Ev
I do think the matching BMW tank bag to go with that pannier would look good
