Today is a great miracle day..........after two months of being without a ride that isn't broken ...........and after god knows how many e-mail from me complaining, firstly about the lack of parts to repair my old XS1100, then about the effing obscene wait to buy a new 09 vmax, i get a reply from Mr Yamaha, no a very very nice Mr Yamaha, he's dug around in all sorts of dark corners of the factory and found the best part of a new engine........and because he cannot give me a new Vmax when i want one , namely NOW ,the bits for the old girl are for very little cost and then freight costs plus a little bit for GST etc etc............the only down side is the expected 3 week wait for the parts.................so by winter the old girl will be going again.......so who wants to lend a bike to an old fart for the rest of summer!!!!!!
