    After doing some exhaust work on the bike ('cause I knew it would not pass a warrant!! ) I happily took the baby in last night to get it road legal for the weekend

    Low and behold.... FAILED!!!! Need new fork seals, so all booked in for next week to be done.......there goes my weekend riding

    Same ol' story... Have bike, will spend (on maintenance... constantly). Makes no difference whether it's new or not.

    A motorcycle is a quantity of air, surrounded by metal, into which you throw much larger quantities of money...

    It sucks big time eh, i feel for ya. Missed out on going to the last round at taupo because of my fork seals. Its the third time they have been in to get fixed. Although its probably a good thing getting them fixed, my bike didnt like stopping at all for some reason. Anyway im rambling, have a good weekend none the less.
