    being bikeless does suck when you're not just using it for the commute. I very rarely spend any time sitting in traffic while driving a car but when I see the bikes going past it just makes me want to get back to mine and get some lane splitting therapy!

    glad to hear you're getting it sussed this w/e zed.

    ...and equally sorry to hear that your RSVR is still cooped up Blu! you've gotta go for a ride before the snow hits, even if its hosing down with rain. You'll go berko otherwise!

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Well funny that you should say that cos all I ever here from people is how bad the VTR cam chains are
    A mate of mine sold his 02 TL as it was time for something new. The only probs that he had was a oil leak that wouldent go away, the shop kept telling him that the cases were over full of oil
    A week after he sold it the bike destroyed itself in a big way, all to do with the leak (I'd have to sak him what went wrong as I cant remember)

    Now the other TL that I know of that did the same thing, well it is actually a Cagiva Navagater which has the TL motor in it (std).
    Its funny how these things happen yet its not mentioned much....exepct for the bloody Honda cam chains
    cheers DD

    The man was just trying to give you a little joy with your loss and you can not help but go all moral. So you want a special union with your own pride and joy. Take up thy (hot) rod and flog it.

    Well I've got my bike running again but I've spent all of the spare money we had in doing so, and don't have any more for the petrol to get to work, not to mention the indicator and mirror I still need for it, and the month's insurance premium.

    Hurry up payday!

    On the bloody train for another week....
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    What's your main reason for not claiming insurance for your bin celtic? Sure sounds like you've spent much time and funds sorting it all out. :spudguita

    Third party fire and theft insurance, Zed.

    A fair bit of time, and about $900 in total, and the bike still looks pretty tatty at the moment.

    Goes all right though, and thats the main point.

    Oh well, with three kids and one on the way, and one income, paying huge amounts of child support, and family court lawyer bills, coupled with a nasty big power bill this month, it's been a real challenge to even get this far in four weeks. Still don't know how I came up with $900, but trademe's been a real help.

    Still got to sell a few more things this week to pay for the mirrors, indicators, insurance and pay for my watch to be fixed ($260!).

    Won't be falling of in a hurry again, that's for sure
