Haha I know you did mate, he's a great little fella, even if neither of us slept a wink last night

Haha the poor bugger, though you're not the only one that has said that

Thanks Saul, it was a close run thing though, we didn't have long before he'd have been born either at home or in the car, once we got to the delivery suite it was 12 minutes from the moment she got on the bed to him entering the world

i would have been but..... it was hospital time at 8pm and he was delivered at 8.25pm. Both of them are doing very well, we've named him Leo, now that's enough dustbin lids for us, hopefully we will take him home Sunday morning.

All hail the ale

And you will just say that if you believe then God will do it for you....

Haha no its been abit of a bind but its sorted now and all is good.

Fixed

The nc500 is the ride around Scotland

The nc500?

Well normally warranties aren't worth the paper they are written on, maybe Chinese ones are different, you may be lucky

None... I don't buy new its not worth it, the depreciation as soon as you ride away is enough to put me off let alone all the teething troubles with new vehicles.... no thanks, I bought a brand new seat ibiza cupra in 2010 and that was in the garage more than on my driveway, put me right off buying new vehicles for life

warranties aren't worth shit, they will always try and worm their way out of paying

Well this is the longest you've ever owned 1 bike for I'll give you that, I just don't get why you feel you need to change bikes so often

Why can't you just be happy with the bike you have instead of keeping changing it every couple of days

April showers....

Definitely getting them setup for weight of you plus the bike will/should make some kind of difference, but you'll still be working to the limitations of the limited travel of the rear mudguard? Or isn't that going to be much of an issue?

Well im now back home with said new goggles, luckily I dodged the rain for the most part but its started raining here now. @boboneleg just want to pick your brains abit so it rides fine though abit snatchy at low rpm and the idle when warm is rather high 1800-2200rpm and the it isnt sharp when i rev it takes a couple of seconds for it to return to idle and seems to sometimes run on 3 cyl. I'm starting to wonder if the injectors are abit bunged up or something, I know it needs a service (plugs and oil+filter) but I wouldn't expect that to fiddle with the fueling with exception of the spark plugs but they were replaced in the service it had just before I bought it. Would you recommend some fuel additive or something or dive right in with a full service?

Yeah its chilly out today eh, I'll be taking the bike out for a run to Sunderland to go get my new goggles. Been told it could well be 4 to 8 years before I'll be needing varifocal goggles

60kph..... 59kph faster than an 1800cc harley....

You have a point, what has to have gone through someone's mind when they've stooped so low and bought a bike that is slower than a vespa

I don't ride a sports bike anymore its classed as a hyperbike apparently... Though not that he'd get anywhere near me given his hardly accelerates like it's tied to a large ships anchor

The general poor quality of parts these days really does make you wonder if its all worth it doesn't it
