I have spent a good amount of time in Turkey in both shipping and yachting .... one of my favourite places. Reading your report brings back many memories ... thanks. Cheers, Rhys
this may or may not be useful information but had slipping clutch on old honda 500/4 did clutch plates ,springs ,basket and it still slipped ,finally someone asked what type of oil was i using seems some clutchs dont like 20w/50/semi syn so went back to 10w/40 mineral oil and never looked back .cheers
As with your other posts this one is great.
Nice report, seems like a bit of levity in this part of the ride mixed in with lackadaisical elements of chillaxing! I guess some of those road engineers must ride motorbikes!
Sounds like you are going to become an instructor one day yourself! Very reflective thought processing about the way you ride (which gets me to think about the way I ride ... er, at the moment, not much! )
aahaumm yes
Sorry but this does not sound like Mac. Best thing to do is stop the bull shit on here and go see the man yourself with your concerns and you might find the out come isn't that bad.
I'm getting traumatic flashbacks from this!

I think I compared side by side, and once I found a few deal killers, abandoned the idea. I have thought recently I could perhaps have 2 GPS.
not tempted by a montana?
I would assume he signed an agreement with the shop for them to sell it on behalf, the bike should have been covered by the shops Insurance while in there , it was not being stored there, but was for sale so their out clause will not apply. Make a claim in the small claims court against the shop and their insurance providers send a letter to the shop and insurance company stating what you intend to proceed with civil action unless the matter is resolved forth with.
Sounds like something that should be taken to the small claims court. Its about $50 to file explain the story provide pictures of the bike before and after with any other communications you have from the store and chances are you will win the price of repair back.
Great writing Plum, - crazy that they can jam your GPS huh? Another great experience tho - looking forward to more, Cheers, Shafty
I enjoyed the report, up until the part with the senior male nudists playing beach volleyball! Keep up the good work!
I don't know if a run in with a white slave trader will be as successful as your last encounters? Still a good read tho
The usual shenanigans and gremlinesque type behaviours. Good to see you are reining in your predilection for carrying the kitchen sink! (will wonders never cease with this new Gremlin?) A very restrained ride by your usual standards!

I'm falling into this trap a little, because while I might look at something, the person assessing me can't see I'm looking unless I'm turning my head. Same advice we (the forum) give learners and restricted riders going for their tests basically. Second, you can easily fall into the habit of not doing a proper check. A quick glance isn't sufficient and is a bad habit. You want to be physically turning your head and looking at your blind spot to make sure there is nothing there. It's actually an easy habit to get into and I've had two occasions now where a good head check found something I didn't expect (even though I'm regularly looking in my mirrors). You initially think, argh, but what are the odds of something getting into your blind spot, but then, it only takes one mistake to take you out aye?
why do head checks need to be obvious?
