    Bike back where it belongs...

    Got my bike back today. AFC haev come to the party and put a new disc and pads on it which is nice. No more Volty. The ride home was superb! Loving it. (like mc donalds but without the fat).

    actually I was more interested in the 650. Just like you, the 9 is a bit pricey for me. Anyway, I wasnt going near it after I heard you'd pawed it

    To be honest, the blue was looking pretty spunky to me. The visible shock and underbike muffler are growing on me a bit as well

    Well I'm glad you got it sorted in the end - pitty it took so long to get done.
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.

    PS Where do I find this highly amusing photograph?

    Got over the whole volty drama in about 4 seconds once I got back on my own bike. Pure bliss.

    Hamilton... Shit I would love to go but have to work this weekend. Have got a big tournament on this weekend so will be tied up all weekend.

    yes. real happy it is sorted. I get a little pissed off with anyone messying with my bike. Extremely pissed when I pay someone to stuff it up and then get shafted round for 7 weeks. All is good in the world of cowboyz again though.

    dont even go there. Managed to get a red rep for moaning about the volty. Not a good experience.

    Holy coakpoo Batman - they took 7 weeks to sort thier shit out! Dunno about you, but thats a place I definitaly wouldnt grace with my money again. I thought they seemed a decent bunch or is it just the workshop that gave you grief?

    It is against the rules to complain about a bike shop or mechanics (aka the gods) in an online forum so I won't say anything except I will not be going anywhere near that shop again. your experience may vary.

    Apparently it's also against the rules to complain about Volties.

    If you want your bike done up I know an upholsterer who does a lovely line in tan seats
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!
