Right, that was surreal:
´Ah Petrus, ´El Invertido de Pilar´.
Hilaric story short; were surprised that I had followed instructions. Even more by how I have recovered. I on my turn was the most baffled by far and thén some: ´It is all mâhvellous: Start doing this&that exercise and yes you can drive a car.´
 

Beejeezus; thréé weeks only and I ám 67, but hey ok. Will start poco a poco with Esmeralda 

So tyres possibly need replacing.. good to know!

Put the front on and mid rear nappy... ready for a little jaunt...

Mán that will be hárd. Public transport has it´s charms, well can have sometimes, but not when you need to depend on it.  I have two lady drivers and still feel immobilised    My empathy for the both of you and whishing you all the mental strength to recover.

Now, 6 weeks do nót fly by, but when they have passed, it will be near summer in the UK too.
That observed about 6 weeks, as written above, have my first revision tomorrow and that marks 3 weeks ´already´. 

Overall still a win.

Not sure if I'm looking at the right spot?

Yes.

Quote from: Petrus on Yesterday at 12:58well, it is a smear for sure    and can´t have it all, ´they´  say

Well! It turns out my "smear" has worked! Great suggestion @Carolyn !


Nice and dry...

The only other leak remaining is this one that appears on the corner of the block by the sump.

I fitted all the rest of my clamps, and continued trying to get air out of system. Going to need more fuel I think and likely a drive up the hill..

Quote from: Ardent on Yesterday at 11:32Ah yes the PS delete.

seemed a good idea at the time 

no, seriously, I think it still is and now has the additional upside of preventing me to take it out prematurely 

Ah yes the PS delete.

an update for my followers 

Several ideas for mods but nothing done yest. #1 was over for the weekend but I was abducted by lovers.

No concrete details from sc seller.

Recovering GREAT but first revision with traumatologo tomorrow. Will ask when/how much drive car, ride motorbike, make love. Have behaved very well I think; only sát on the Vespa, moved about Esmeralda on parking lot only, best not mention the latter 

Mine´s only a mechanical thing; replacement bearing. It´s that the bone needs time and reattached ligaments even more. The screws are like temporary spot welds and are not meant to take any loads. Sigh....

p.s.  Belle being SMT means téchnically I should be allowed to drive her without full recovery... Just don´t mention the steering wheel mod and ps delete .
