Looking for silver linings

I was awake earlier than yesterday but still had a pretty lazy morning, until deciding to investigate the curious case of Fidra's missing idle adjusting knob.  After removing half the bodywork again, I found it: it had somehow jumped out of its bracket.  Reinstalled I decided to run the engine until it was warm and then see if I could adjust things.

I couldn't.  Worse, there was smoke coming out from somewhere under the throttle bodies but I couldn't tell where from.  And to add to the joy, Fidra dumped another puddle of coolant on the floor.  Despite running the engine again I couldn't work out where it had come from, but the smoke continued.  I took the air box off again and poked and prodded but nothing looked out of place.  So I shoved the bike into the corner, tidied up and went back in.  I don't have the spoons to carry on like this.  The clouds at lunchtime were quite interesting I thought, with huge long streaks of cirrus, and I liked the lens flare from the sun.

To cheer myself up I have dyed my hair extremely red again.
