20 May

We went to garage first thing and found the bike in pieces in the road, extremely worried now and with no choice but to leave it with this mechanic, we made a couple of calls to our Honda dealer and believe the problem was the thermostat.
For some reason pressure built up and when it released it blew a leak in the radiator, which now needs welding.

After going through all this with mechanic we left him to it. We popped back later and he had unblocked all the sand from the choke, removed/cleaned and put the thermostat back on, repaired the leak on the radiator and fitted a manual switch for the fan, all for £70

We rested for the rest of the day aiming to get an early start in the morning
