You're getting rid of the 675 ?
I would ask why but it's definitely a love-hate type of bike.
I love the looks and the engine but getting seriously peeved with the heat coming off the pipe that feeds the exhaust can, oh and the cramped legs. |
675 is gone after the gearbox broke that was the last straw.it was fixed under warrenty no probs but still didnt feel 100% i was only happy on her when riding hard theres a few that have dropped a middle cylinder valve that wrecks the engine.new ones the have a mysterious ticking noise from the engine.loads of little things mostly to do with dealer.so now now have a zx10r 08 in green of course  |
Least you wont have to check the oil level every 5 mins on the Kwaka, to stop the engine blowing up..  |
many a true word spoken in jest mine could use a little but only sometimes had to keep your eye on it  |

Being happy of my first two days at work, you are never entirely sure what the company is like until you start...and this one seems like a good'un!
oh and the 'Mush-land' reference...

Finding out the top place i use for my tyres also does brakes, on the A303 realised my rear pads (3 weeks old) were just about finished so i called them on the off chance, yes we do brakes.
Pop in and as i'm there every 6/8 weeks getting tyres they put it straight in and was back out 15 mins later and only £20 lighter with new pads, i always keep spares in at home but was on my way to dover and didn't have the time to get home so made me a happy bunny

Left work at 1530 today and had a little meander on the old motorcycle.
115 miles and hardly any traffic. I don't know how I do it .
Oh, and nearly getting headbutted by a green woodpecker!
No bunny, badger or even deer for me, but a green woodpecker  .

Really dorky, but a week ago my brother's pond looked like pea and ham soup. Today, after a bit of cleaning and topping up, we have at least 3 newts actively feeding, and two 3-inch long dragonfly nymphs have crawled onto the reeds. One hatched this morning, and the other will go tomorrow I reckon:

Took a mate through his first trackday last tuesday & has seen his pictures tonight on the web. He is over the moon, he did all seven twenty minute sessions at brands and wants to do another soon. Have I created a monster ?
