New Bike...

[pyro]

Well I did it, the gs550 got so bad to ride (one guy from work - a courier- took it for a spin and said it was too dangerous to ride!! Wimp!!!) that I raided the credit cards for cash and bought another FJ1200, £770 and just needed chain / sprokets and has a small oil leak on one of the oil cooler pipes.

I'm a happy bunny again, picked it up from Northampton and it pissed down all the way down to Redhill... ho humm, still finally got rid of the chicken strips on the tyres this week so all is well!

picked it up from Northampton

Oi - why didn't you pop in?
Do we smell or summat?
(I know - stoopid question)

chicken strips

Rings of untouched (by road) rubber at the edge of the tyre furthest away from the centre.

Cos I forgot that you lived there, and just after I picked it up I got a call saying my son was in East Surrey hospital after an accident, ho hum, he picks his moments.... he waits until I'm 90 miles away and its pouring with rain...
:D

as usual pyro junior walks away unscathed...and less likely to give up extreme sports!

I despair of my son (He is nothing like me when I were young... all those rumours are not true....) how he gets away with it is beyond me, this time he fell 20 feet neck first onto the edge of a plank, he suffered concussion and bruising... very lucky!!
