S*it bike update

Despite reports to the contrary Halflife is determined to continue with Gollobski and Carpboy on their Irish adventure if for no other reason than he is the only one who can read a map, or read for that matter.
Working under intense pressure and scrutiny from the local cat he stripped the motor out of his bike in less than 45 minutes last night in the pitch black using only his sense of taste and smell to identify what needed un-tightening. The offending item was then rushed in the early hours of this morning to a waiting team of three crack mechanics. They got to work right away under sterile conditions with hammers and chisels and eventually managed to prise the motor apart. All were shocked not to find any of the now tell tale putty that seems to be holding the rest of the bike together inside the engine, we can only assume that the previous owner ran out before he could reap any more damage on the poor cub.
Everything looks serviceable so you never know, she might breathe again and failing that we have another engine kindly provide by a member of the facebook group.
Carpboy, who was almost inconsolable at the thought that it would be just himself and Gollobski riding around Ireland has even offered Halflife a pillion ride should all else fail. Ridiculous on the face of it but at least Gollobski and Carpboys bikes will weight about the same evening up some ‘performance’ issues that were noted by the big fella over the weekend.
