Scottoiler the right way to stop loosing oil when its not working

Ihave just moved the scottoiler to a new place. The picture is of the new position. I had noticed the rear wheel was covered in oil and the bottom of the plastic pipe had come away from the body. With no vacuum the oil just poured onto the rear chain. I heated up the plastic pipe which made it soft and pliable. Then pushed back fully on the brass spigot on the reservoir. Now the Reservoir canister is positioned in a new place independent of the frame. The vacuum pipe is fully on and should not come off again for a while.

Before it was cable tied to the frame where the frame sticker with numbers is. Now I have the bracket supplied with the scottoiler kit. I cable tied the breather and vacuum pipe to the injectors. You can see the silver bracket under the scottoiler reservoir and to the carbon rear mudguard tidy.

Easyjet and a Moto Guzzi

Below is a picture of a Moto Guzzi. Taking a quick holiday break from the UK to Trapani with easyjet. It is surprising how cheap the flights are. The weather in Scilia is excellent biking weather and the Guzzi looks great in its surroundings. Thanks to Gaetano Migliore for letting me take his pride and joy for a spin.

Sky Map for Android - A Mobile Planetarium

I have downloaded sky map for android and am impressed with the app. It has froze on a couple of occasions but if you leave the app it will load eventually. The only disappointing bit is the weather has been very cloudy here in London so it is difficult to see the stars. I also test reaction on friends and family and this app definitely got the thumbs up for ingenuity.
