Yup, that's Stinkwheel replacing the head gasket in his '305. Presumably with a cereal box. Bought in the Local Shop For Local People. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Well, I'd say it's probably due to the huge network of virtually empty, high quality roads with clear views, pristine road surfaces and sweeping, interlinked, constant radius, perfectly cambered corners interspersed with long enough straights to max out any motorcycle.
This is the B-road leading to the rally site:

Google street view Try it on pretty much any road. Bricks will be shat.
This is what you get when you don't let the government squander your oil money in the general treasury pot but instead invest it in long term infrastructure. Every town has a top-notch village hall and primary school too.
And yes, that's me changing the head gasket on the girlfriends bike. Only took an hour or so. The hardest bit was getting the new gasket delivered to my tent on the rally field. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

One thing I like about that rally is the shop next to the rally field. It keeps going purely on the basis of the rally being there. It gets bigger every year (it was apparently a tin shed when they first started.).
They reckon they sell more petrol over the rally weekend than they do for the rest of the year combined. (and you go through it quick!).
