    The 411, on my R1, on 12/11.........

    Ok, so after the parts being on order for 1 month (Delivery time 15 days from order), they have finally all arrived. I spoke to someone at Sawyers, and they say all they are waiting on now, is some time to put it all together, as they are booked up solid. They said hopefully by the end of next week, but they can't promise anything

    Looks like it could be running up to the 2 month mark.
    The annoying thing is, I can't accept the bike unless it's in the same condition it was before the bin. I hope it is, or I'll have to wait longer

    Have fun at Taupo y'all

    If ya want it sooner slip them some extra cash i am sure they do it sooner, cause insurance companys always screw them for labour, so reason they will wait until later when quiter

    but at least all the parts are here

    What parts was it waiting on? I thought it was only fairings, footpegs etc?

    I'm sure if you *really* wanted to be at Taupo on Sunday you could pick up the bits and screw it back together yourself. Unless it was something painful like an engine cover or something.

    Are you going to see if you can scab the old fairings back for track days?

    Bullshit.

    We love insurance jobs as they haggle over what needs to be replaced/repaired but once aggreed, it's on, big parts orders, big labour charges and gar-one-teed payment.

    Insurance companies always screw over retailers -_-

    They expect us to sell them shit at cost and half the time they ask for it to be delivered and instaled at no charge...

    Unless its like a wall oven... then we screw them on labour

    Even worse is if we do all the fucking work for them like finding a current product that is the same and will fit the space etc etc blah blah blah and they go elsewhere after they got all the info because they were 20c cheaper

    We had a toast to you (with coffee!) in Martinborough yesterday (Sun) SC.

    We had a dreadful ride. It was horrible. You were lucky to not be there. Does that make you feel better?

    Hope it's not long now.

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    Hmmm, hope you can sink a fair amount oif beer and refrain from doing stupid shit on a motorcycle till you are sober.

    As for the pube info. I think there was a bit too much info shared
    But its was bloody
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
