Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Did they start the RCV race bike up? Wanted to go yesterday but with having to take time off work for the root canal work it was not to be.

Not sure tbh Duke. There were some noisey start ups but not sure what they were tbh

Metro, Airport, flight, drive, sleep

Hope it was a good gig Cookie

I'm currently on Kawasaki Original Parts .com to get an idea of how much my shopping list is going to set me back....

...I stumbled on a shim set for the shock. Talk about rip off!!! £226 for a set of 4 different sized shims

Use a washer Cav or a man of your calibre knock some up in the workshop

Oh did you buy the Nitron shock in the end?

Dentist appointments for our six monthly check ups, I failed and have collapsing filling and cracked tooth, back on Friday for an emergency appointment. Back home and this afternoon I’m talking to Estate Agent and Solicitors re hold ups on my Mums house sale.

It’s non stop fun today.

I have made my own shims already but I didn't realise Kawasaki did their own - bloody good job I made my own n'all!!!

No, I agreed a price with the guy who then sold it to someone else who offered asking price a couple of days later.

He's come back to me and said the guy was a time waster - am I still interested. I lowered my offer and counter-offered with my original. I'm going to offer a halfway house between those two of £420+postage. I'm not all that fussed about it now because I accepted I lost it.

420 is a very good deal. Hope you get it

Sitting waiting for the rac... Went to have a look at a bike, got fecking soaked, and now have a puncture,!

On a positive was the bike you viewed worth the effort ? Hopefully yes

Yeah, it's not the sort of bike that's ever going to have me jumping up and down about it.

It's a good solid bike that's been well maintained, full mot and most of the service history. All major services had been done bang on time.

It started on the button and ran sweetly, so all good. Couldn't ride it because of the complexities the government has made round road tax..

Also, the was an rac bloke just down the road so within 30 mins the tyre was plugged and I was back on my way home

Sounds like it turned out ok in the end Nutz

Which bike was it ? You make an offer ?

I offered to use trade plates when I took a used bike out and the dealer agreed.

The bikes are only insured against theft, they have to add them to the trade policy so they can be ridden on trade plates apparently.

@blade, this was the silver one I linked to. No offer made as I want to see the blue one for comparison.

Looks a clean bike Jon

My Honda is an 04 and touch wood that's been reliable

That's because it only goes to the mot station and back

Sadly for the last 2 years your right


I've got some nices bits in stock to pamper her when she gets her next service and then I plan to right the above wrong

Still not bad for a 15 year old bike
