Blasted cog, Bodge it and Scarper

Well, I simply cannot find a replacement used speedo cog for this bike. So, I took to heating a screw driver on the electric hob and melted and formed a new square edge to the tab which is driven by the wheel and then drives the speedo cable. And cor blimmey gov'ner it works!

So I went on a test drive and realised the revs I was counting to determine speed were too high. I was going faster than I thought all this time, through GATSOs and speed traps. These, by the way, are intentionlly disguised behind trees using camoflage, unlike our UK cameras, which under the auspices of playing fair, HAVE to be bright reflective yellow.

Slightly concerned that I might have amassed hefty fines, I found a non prosecuting speed camera which informatively displays your speed in big yellow LEDs as you approach. After a number of passes in different gears I determined that the speedo is actually reading 10% over. So, to my relief, I am probably okay. And now I know exactly how fast I am going, I can really push things to the limits. (only joking mother...)

So I am ready to scarper, hit the road again and head out. I am going to the Bay of Plenty (plenty of what? I hope to find out...)
