Woz on the ferry, two other bikes. I smell petrol said the British educated guy with the BMW. Probably venting from my gas cap said I. But a quick check when I got home, and Yami was dripping on the left hand side. Maybe a sticky float I thought. This happened just before I left on the bear drip. I took Noddy. Got thinking about it over the last week, and wondered if maybe it was the gas tank. It has leaked before.
Back on my Island yesterday. Checked Yami. Leak is from the gas tank. Moved him to the sick bay this morning. Where ya gonna find a gas tank for a 79 XS1100 Special on an Island. Oh wait. Lettuce check the 1100 I bought a couple of weeks ago. The one I did not tell Shirley about. Oh my, wot a nice gas tank. Swapped the pieces and put it on today. Needs painting.
I still have one more spare tank, that needs a gas cap, and badges.
