    Sycophant, did you strip and polish those wheels yourself? and if so was it worth the hard work?

    Kind of makes you think of pineapples huh?

    I would seriously hate to be him if confronted by even one of us if we hapened to be in possesion of a pillowcase full of door knobs!

    It blows my mind that someone would go to so much trouble trying be nasty/negative/offensive.

    Probably just some freak experiencing penis envy

    I won't claim, my excess is higher than the repair bill. The new clutch lever is on the way ($230) and the paintwork isn't major so I'll leave it until winter to respray.

    $230 for a clutch lever? That almost 10 times what it cost to replace the clutch lever on my Suzuki!! Mamma mia!

    At least MV now sell the brake levers in 1 piece, until recently you had to buy the whole brake lever assembly (lever + fluid reservoir). Now they were expensive !!

    A guy in canada makes a set of levers (CNC machines from a billet slab) for the MV for US$140 which is about the same price as the clutch lever. I probably should of got those since my lever is late already.

    Went into the supermarket to pick up sum smokes, came back out and I was confronted by an angry mum & dad with a bawling little boy. I could'nt understand what they were saying in there foraign lingo and why the fug my bike was on the ground with a fuged mirror and clutch. Until an english speaking passer by from the same country told me that they were demanding money from me to cover the cost of ther son's new glasses. Because they were simply taking photos of there boy on my bike until it fell over on him.!!. Cops would'nt touch it with a bardge poll and I had no insurance. I took there name and number and sent the bill to there home stay keepers. They said I was an uncaring barsterd for doing so.

    That's madness, they were messing with your bike and they blame you for knocking it over ?? No respect and no responsibility.

    That goes beyond my understanding of what the logical/moral thing to do is (on the parents part). Goes to show how tolerant most of us are. If we lived in a fair world, there would be a lot more bruised up people who got what they deserve!

    Thats nothing they sent me back the bill, saying they would cover the cost of the parts, of which they deducted off what I owed them for the glasses. Aparently I still owe them $600.00 including the doctor bill!!!
