@Defender he sent me tyre decals that I never got round to fitting to the NC. It took me several years after his passing to be able to part with them even after the bike had long gone. a generous guy, full of friendly chat and so knowledgeable on the mechanics.
-
I do remember Keith fairly well, although I was never fortunate enough to meet him face to face, but I bought some hand guards from him fairly early on in my tenure of NC ownership and presence on this forum. Somewhere I still have the letter he sent me with the handguards, I still have those too, they were on my NC'X for some time until replaced with some more protective guards that are in place now. RIP 'Denton Lad'.

Popped up there this morning. All seems in order after the winter. No butty van yet though Andy

Its the old french conundrum where psa cars used to run hot as they would blow off coolant. 1st they didnt have expansion tanks so they used to dump over the alternator and steering pump and then after expansion tanks were fitted the system leaked. And guess what.
-
Indeed. NCs and most others don’t self-bleed their coolant circuit because the header tank is below the rad. Doesn’t matter normally, but it pays to check for trapped gas in the rad from time to time. I think that antifreeze is toxic to algal life so gas shouldn’t accumulate over time. Old, weak, antifreeze, maybe.
-
Forget the expansion tank is there water in the radiator? Thats the most likely cause of an engine temp warning.
-
My NC'X has run the cooling fan on quite a few occasions over the 11+ years I've owned it and my much newer 450cc single does that a bit more often, but then it has a smaller radiator and less coolant in the system, so I think that's only to be expected, but I've never seen the coolant warning light come on, so far!
-
No, never in all my 11+ years of ownership have I seen that, but I have had the cooling fan come on many times.
-
Not on an NC, but slow riding will really test an engine. I had overheating issues with a FJR doing a slow riding course but these never recurred in normal riding. I wouldn't worry.
-
Hi my engine temperature light came on whilst I was doing some slow riding training (tight circles figure of eights). It went out as soon as I pulled away. It was a sunny day at 15 degrees Celsius. The fan works and there is water in the expansion bottle. I've never noticed it before, had any else had this happen ? . Thanks.

That was a beast of a weekend! Seeing you lot struggling to keep upright over the pass was scary. I just wish I had been on two wheels as well. Andy was a top bloke and as hard as nails. As for Keith, he was also. I spent a few days up there with him providing a guided tour, with a running commentary of interesting facts via comms, round some of the hidden parts of the Peak District and he knew where all the butty wagons were too. Tea and a Kitkat at each one. 😆

I missed this too. He was a nice feller, we met up when I was doing one of my long RBR rides.
-
Whoa… we lost Outrunner?! When did that happen? He rode on with me through that horrific storm in the Derbyshire weekender. We shared many pints after that day out, lining our gloves up on the fire of The Miners 😢 Edit - found the thread. So sorry I missed it at the time. He was a great chap. 😢
-
A contemporary of mine did the same during the pandemic. Only been together about 50 years!
-
Ironically, I went to a wedding in 2022 for an old mate of mine (six months older than me) because he decided that he should make an honest woman of his lady. Made a change from the usual outings.
-
It is of course sad that we must eventually head off to pastures new, which is why I’ve been determined to kick the a**e out of it for as long as I can and enjoy the company of good people. A key reason why I’m on here. 😁 Of those that have left already I have many happy memories. 🙂

I'm afraid a lot of us are of an age that we go to more funerals than weddings, including, eventually, our own (funeral that is, not wedding)
-
I was out riding in the Borders yesterday and my mind went to Dentonlad, Tex Outrunner and Mr Toad 😔

Taken last September during our get together. Can’t quite believe it was so long ago since he passed away.
-
Yes I remember Keith. Met up with him at the Ponderosa in 2015 (OMG thats 9 years ago!) with SusieBe, Lloyd and a couple of others. Got a speeding ticket on the way though :-( All round good egg.

I paid my respects at the memorial at LadyBower last time I passed - Septemberish last year.
