I strongly doubt your Dealer will be open today...that is if you were referring to a Motorcycler 'Dealer' anyway :sunny:


BTW...welcome back to riding ;)

It's the site reputation feature where people can rate your posts, either positively or negatively, and leave comments as well. To keep my contact details off the public forum, and as you can't PM yet I've left my mobile # in your rep. Check it out by clicking on 'Settings' at the top of window.

Don't be too concerned about that....not too much 'bike talk' on KB :facepalm:

[R1GEEZA]

haha yea iv notice sum threads go wildly off topic lol! alot of banter thrown around 2

[onearmedbandit]

Lets face it, no matter where bikers gather the topic will start on bikes and splinter into 100 other topics. Doesn't matter if it's at the pub, at the track, at the destination of a ride, in your living room, or on Kiwibiker (or as some call it, KiwiBitcher :facepalm:). The only difference with the 'net is that everything is recorded for all to see whenever.

[motodrummer]

I know the feeling. My bike's in getting the forks done, dropped it off on Tuesday and arranged to pick it up tomorrow. Every time I go out to the garage for a smoke the empty space my bike normally occupies sends shivers down my spine. At least I have the g/f's 600RR to gaze over.
