, Yes I've got one now!!! 
out into the Cotswolds.This would be Rosemary's 3rd ride out on the
, & she's really taken to it & for some strange reason she would like to meet up with you all in the future 
I've tried to talk her out of it.... but you know what women are like 
Anyway, plan was for a leisurely ride down to Moreton le Marsh/ Bourton on the Water... lunch there, then an amble up to Stratford via Chipping Camden.
Got to Rosemary's for 9.15.. parked the bike up on the pavement ready for the off.. started to off load a couple of bits when I noticed steam coming up thru the fairing
I'd cleaned the
the day before & sprayed ACF 50 liberally, but thought that should have gone by now...Had a look round & found green water dripping onto the floor
Radiator leak!!!She had half her bike gear on, when I informed her that we weren't going anywhere
Anyway.. after much cussing & kicking inanimate objects
I phoned Tony, owner of my local bike shop, who does most of the work on the , & just over an hour later he was there to take her back to his work shop.. TK Motorcycles, Melton Mowbray.Not wanting to waste the beautiful weather & being NT members, we decided to go in Ro's car to Charlecote House & park. A lovely place to visit...
Tony rang to say the hole was in the Rad core...& a new Honda one was £701
Back at Rosemary's a quick google found a rad mender in Anstey.... bring it round he says I'll have a look for you
But that wouldn't be till Saturday 
Also checked out these:

Talked to Roy & he's going to make me a new one for £430, 3-4 weeks to make but I'll be ok with the patched up original till then
Why buy a new rad you may ask?
If the original has already leaked, it will again... The fix I'm having will only repair the leak, but the rest of the core will no doubt be on it's way out!!! A re core is nearly as expensive as the new one I'm getting made
Anyrode should be up & running next week, then a shiny new one for mid September
Will keep you posted as to how things plan out
