Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

After a really bad run of luck in recent months things have finally turned and I'm having some good luck / surprises, well for now anyway, hope I haven't jinxed it

Bought the ZX10R and got an absolutely storming deal, almost too good to be true.

Was then chuffed to bits when I got charged less than I expected for the courier costs.

Was then chuffed even more when it arrived and had brand new tyres fitted as at 2000 miles on the clock I was expecting part worn original tyres.

I was then chuffed again when I took it out on Sunday and found it had a full to the brim tank of fuel in it, £20 in my pocket happy days.

I was then super chuffed today when transferring the factory Kawasaki warranty in to my name, I found out it had been extended by 2 years by the previous owner and was fully transferable. I was only expecting 7 months warranty and end up with 31 months full factory warranty.

To say I'm happy is an understatement and hopefully things have turned for the better now.

..............................I hate to piss on your fire but when your that high, there really is only one way to go..............................

Cheers Perkles

@Dale - Don't I know it, I can sense the misery coming already Its so unusal for me to have good luck as I normally have no luck or bad luck

Ahhhhhhh!!!!! P!$$ OFF!!!!

































Only joking

I knew you would be pleased for me Monty

Cheers for the info you sent me

Enjoy the feeling, as it doesn't happen often, but remember it too when something bad happens just as a balance

Nice one

Happy days, esp about the warranty. That's more money for bling.

I like your way of thinking

Sounds like you found a really good dealership mate, really happy that the whole experience has been a big positive.

Good news, Blade.

I guess you haven't had the log book back yet though showing the previous owner as a 'Mr T Sykes c/o Kawasaki Racing Corps'.

Haha yeah good one Duke. No I have the previous owners details and its not Mr Sykes.

You deserve some good luck for a change mate. Good to hear that the overdue karma has started to arrive.
long may it continue.

Cheers everyone

So unusual for me to have good luck I just had to tell someone, but I know that's my lot and already getting ready for the bad karma

Only just seen this Blade. Sounds great. The warranty extension is a very good string of luck. Surprised someone extended it to get rid of it! Very strange but great news for you lol!

Yes does seem strange Rossgo mate but I learnt many years ago not to look a gift horse in the mouth and when to not ask too many questions

I have the certificate confirming warranty till Sept 2017 and thats all I need and want, so happy days

Really glad for you Blade, like you I had a reall run of bad luck, but 2014 has seen it change round to far more positive karma, mind you it did hit rock bottom at one point, so as mentioned above when it's at one end of the scale it's only got one direction to go.

That bling budget is looking very healthy right now by the sounds of it!

Cheers Deegee. Yes bling budget is doing well and on target for well over 2k and I would have never got that if I left the kit on the bike so mighty chuffed.
