Â As i said, it will have to go into the workshop for the anti roll bar rubbers and oil and filter change. Failed miserably with the discs, needs a huge Torx thingy to remove the caliper, looks like a garage job for them too. Â 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 So I checked behind all the sofa cushions, I tipped out my piggybank and I sold all my wife’s jewelry and I scraped together enough money for a new bike. I put a deposit on it today but it won’t be here till February. …………. it’s a crying shame that Pete isn’t here anymore because he would’ve ripped the piss out of me, mind you I’m sure some of you can do quite well at that anyway. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 I had a surprise today, scoot started 1st jab of the button!.   Fuel gauge on car acting the twat, it won't budge off of half full, put £30 of petrol in, still reading half full....... think the car has reached the age where problems are starting to become more regular 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Been out for another Bimble today but with the Hornet this time with my new pillion.   About 80 miles or so again.   Went up to Chequered Flag but they don’t open on a Tuesday so we went on to Kit hill for a coffee then a blast back down the Liskeard by pass.  Good to give the Hornet a run, first time for a month or so.  Lovely this morning but could feel the temperature dropping as we came back.   Chequered Flag  Gotta stop looking at that GS1000G.  Want it but can’t afford it Kitt Hill looking over the Tamar Valley 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Went to visit a client on the GS today. I really missed my bike, and it's a lot better than the 1250, too. Â 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
