Hello, this is Harada.
Sorry for the Triumph jokes every time.
Please stay with us for a while.
In the middle of last month, I went to the shop where I usually take care of my tiger maintenance.
With members gathered at TRIDE MOTORCYCLES
I went on the annual fall tride touring.
It rained from the morning on that day so it was completely waterproof.
Early in the morning at the usual meeting place with the Kappa group.
"It's raining. Drive slowly and safely today."
I was talking about things like...
As soon as you enter the expressway Ken-O Expressway
“It came out, it came out, I knew it.”
It starts to fly away. . .
If so!
The Tomei Ashigara parking area, where you can meet up with your friends, is left open.
Almost like a vintage Triumph from the same generation.
Once you start running, you'll be overtaken and overtaken, and it's still fun.
I don't care about the rain or the cold at all
Let it fly. . .
We arrived at Ashigara parking lot in no time.
I exchanged greetings with a friend I met up with on the way after a long time.
When I lit a cigarette and took a puff,
"There's a gasoline leak."
My friends pointed at my tiger and told me not to ignore it. . .
“Gah!”
"...seriously."
[On such an important day. . . ”
My mood suddenly dropped, but
"soap!"
A word from a friend.
"Soap? Oh, I see, soap!!"
A ray of hope.

That day, I got some soap at a convenience store in the parking area.
Repair work was carried out immediately.
A 1950 model motorcycle manufactured 67 years ago.
It is natural that there will be wobbles here and there.
This rigid frame vehicle is especially
There are always various troubles caused by vibration.
We have to be careful about measures in various places.
This happened because I neglected daily maintenance. .

Depends on the degree of leakage
Not a big crack that leaks
If it is just a trickle, like this
Simply rub household soap on the cracked area.
Strangely enough, the leakage has stopped.

Gas tank for a while
Not fixed to the frame with stud bolts
I used a rubber cord for loading that I received from a colleague at the site.
Gently fix the tank.
Repair work in the parking area
After that, I slowed down and ran for a while.
After all, this kappa group keeps flying away without mercy.
Before you know it, it's quite wide open.
Not lose to rain
Not even on gasoline
Does not succumb to engine vibration
Even in the parking lot of Gotemba during lunch time.
At the resting place at Asagiri Plateau afterwards.
Or to your accommodation
Suddenly, the leakage stopped.
Although it is a first aid measure
Soap and a rubber band worked quite well. . .

What to do with soap
This is just an emergency measure to temporarily stop a gasoline leak.
After that, I think it is basically a no-no to restart the car.
