Nute Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Broke down, car not bike ... bloody annoying. Fortunately have a recovery policy who gave me a projected wait time of 2+ hrs before the recovery truck could get there, plus apparently it was a £40 excess for recovery .. The tow truck showed up in about 45 mins so can't fault that, and the guy helped me push it into the garage once we got it home. Turns out he used to live in Finland (the place id love to live given the choice) and was a really nice guy. Had a quick look when I got home, fuel getting to the carb OK, carb working OK, nothing obviously wrong with the distributer but that is as far as I got before going out on my bike. I'll have another look at it later in the week 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel le Moose Fondler Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Made it back home in one piece...the after hours partys at the motel ...not gonna lie..but 3 days in a row drinking is getting hard to handle..even with my superior DNA...

Skippy Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Off to the hospital with the missus to speak to the cardiologist about her arrhythmia which has been so bad she’s had to have an ambulance to get her to the hospital on two occasions over the past month or so. I believe there’s an operation she can have which has a 98% success rate and it’s only day surgery. Stressful times. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, bought it from the guy that did but he then lost interest so lots of kinks to iron out. It had less than 300 miles on it. As I can’t afford a real one this is the closest im going to get. It’s great fun, tho ( when it’s working) I doubt it would beat a Tesla away from the lights. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Thanks for all your support folks. So, the cardiologist couldn’t see any signs of arrhythmia in the ECG she had today but has seen the results of when she’s had an episode and it’s evident during those periods. He’s now referred her to an arrhythmia specialist so they can try and get to the bottom of the matter. At least it shouldn’t take long to get an appointment but in the meantime she’s to remain on beta blockers and avoid certain foodstuffs and drinks…….no alcohol 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good few million bucks worth there! Do they ever drive them? Thanks for the offer of the shirt, really appreciate it but I wouldn’t want you spending your $ - it’s nice just seeing the photos. It’s motivated me to get off my backside and fix mine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
