So yes, Honda just send new rims. Did you think I was getting new tyres, sprocket and brakes as well?

Just sounded a long time. Suppose your right though. I've replaced a front tyre and discs myself in 30 mins using levers and sweat and no tyre machine's. I thought it be under and hour. Maybe not then. And sprockets and discs are as long as it takes to use a power tool on handful of bolts.. and some thread loc

Yes I would

The workshop works in 30 minute slots, so maybe they're saying 90 minutes to be on the safe side? I really don't know what the process is. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me taking into account how long it usually takes when I get both tyres changed.

Regardless, it's 90 minutes I get to spend taking a bike out for a test ride, so I'm not complaining.

Can't say better than that. Work done for free and a play on another toy for a bit!!

Yep...I honestly don't think new tubes & tyres is asking too much.

Why do I deserve new tyres?

Because of your boyish charm & acerbic wit??

Worth a shot, at least.

They''ve got the parts at the shop. I can't get to them before 27th April.

New wheels! I might get a new rear sprocket as well. Something blingy to match the wheels

Stick some slicks on while you're at it !!

On a 250kg bike with a 21 inch front wheel?

Nah mate, you're alright

It would be pretty epic though!!

How about knobbly front and slick rear? Or is that what she said?

I'm using the AT this week to go to work while the Versys has a flat rear.

The fecking oil leak I had fixed is fecking leaking again. I'm less than impressed. I've had a rant at Tamworth Honda. They were very apologetic and have offered to pick the bike up from work, but I'm going to take it to them myself so I can have another rant at them face to face.

What do you reckon I should ask for? Next service is free?

Free spare AT, if there's room in your new garage for another bike.?

Straight swap for a Street Triple RS.

There is room for another bike. There's always room for another bike

That's not quite the comfortable long distance mile muncher and part time commuter I'm looking for

At least. I'd ask for that or 3 years servicing.

They're going to top up my petrol tank for a starter - 70 mile round trip, most of which will be on the M42 during rush hour.
