You can't just phone our doctors and get an appointment anymore . WTF is going on My mum decided to retire from being a doctor when she got to the age because her job turned from giving consultations to patients to spending 50% of her time dealing with making things IT streamlined, writing prescriptions online, arranging future consultations online, etc, this as a family general practitioner to people who then prefer to have the old school paper to take home. She got increasingly frustrated of her job becoming being a people's doctor to an IT person dealing with a failing IT system. She was very sad about it, during her days on that medical post she had become the doctor of three generations of the same families. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The little square I live in is being dug up to fit a new gas main. Its fucking caos out there at the moment. The lads doing it are as good as gold but its a pain nonetheless. Been out fitting some hand guards to my boys scoot as he has been freezing his tits and fingers off coming home from work. Also managed to drop his scoot on ice last night. All low speed, he is actually quite sensible on the roads, and there is only couple of mild scuff on top of scuffs that were already there. I cleaned and checked his bike over before I did the handguards. Budget chinky stuff is definitely built down to a price. Also put the topbox plate on my Hornet and gave it a wipe over, tyre pressures, oil, chain and other maintenance. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be expecting 35-40k a year after tax to make it worthwhile So what's the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have painted mine twice, it may only be a single cylinder, but the price of a new exhaust (which is almost unattainable with there being no Daelim importer) is very steep. Not bad here today, cloudy, dry and no breeze.......but weatherman says snow (maybe a good covering) next Wednesday.. Iam going to the local bike shop now, just looking, it passes a hour or so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love Suzuki's GS1000/750/Katana eara, they leave me a bit cold now. I do have a soft spot for the SV/Strom 650 though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I only ever owned 2 stroke Suzuki,s....that was in the 70,s But I do like the look of the SV....it (like other Suzuki models is long in the tooth) is just the right size for a geriatric like me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBQ or other high temp paint is cheaper than buying a new exhaust, that will rust and rot as fast as the original one did. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
