Im not cruel enough to force you to ride the gn

Come to my place tomorrow evening and give my bike a blat down the road, stephen will be to make sure it's running ok. It's a gutless fucking wonder so need to find out if it's meant to be that way. Feels like i've bought a 2 stroker four stroke, only makes power at redline lol

Uh Oh, one set of probs for another...? I'll stay home and watch the Moto GP on Tv 1 tx.

Haha, i'm starting to get to my fourth week without a bike..

I rode my mangled up hunk of shit of a bike from Wild West back home today and absolutely loved every moment of it! Took a very long way home with bent frame, forks, handlebar and everything else chomped to fuck.. was wicked fun

(Oh, and I'm 90% sure it was your bike I saw ontop of the stands being worked on by the mechanics, so atleast they're doing something)

But now it sits in my garage awaiting me to strip it down.. gutted.

Now all I have to keep me sober is test riding bikes I can't afford..

Bugger mate, any word if you'll be seeing some dollars from the guy who hit you? New bike shopping is fun but.

I'll give you a double, thatl be a funny sight.

That would be mate! I think we'd new a new rear shock afterwards too!

I know the feeling macstar ....i did not ride for a week so I took the blade round town today and man loved every moment it. Cannot imagine 5 weeks without a bike unless I am on holiday...

Looking forward to getting the Hondas together soon mate!

Welcome to my world

Btw did you sell the KTM?

KTM sold a few months back unfortunately. Would be good to have it for moments like now. So your FXR aint rideable yet?

Hmmm. If no bike by next weekend, I'll be giving you guys a call!

Sold that almighty KTM superduper-mega-omega Motard??

That bike was awesome! lol
Well, good luck with the bike thing... same for me too lol

[motorbyclist]

maybe ask Don for a courtesy bike while they fix yours? it'll get you back on two wheels and probably speed up the work on the hornet too

i see they have a CR500 motard - it'd make your ktm seem like a child's toy!

That's a bloody good idea. Especially since a certain bike shop has failed to meet several deadlines...

im not sure which bike shop you speak of but i gather its the same one that still hasnt managed to mail my insurance request to the insurance company 2 months after me having bought the bike.....great ppl......very friendly....great in-house service.....not on the ball.....

oh and ask don if you can take the royal enfield on loan!!! that thing sounds mean and is an awesome experience!!!!

[HungusMaximist]

Guessing it's going to be another week aye Mac boi?

Getting back on the bike again will be like the good old adolescent days where
you fondled your fist pair of tits.

On the other note, Andrew's right it's kinda of strange how haven't offered you a courtesy bike.

But then again it's all down to how much your wrist can handle, hope it's all healed up now!

lol considering how he binned the last one they prob don't want him riding their bikes! though it'd be an easy way to sell them - to their insurance company

thought that would make them more than keen to lend bikes out....get money for excess from customer, get insured sum from insurance company and then buy it back for dirt cheap from insurance company, re-do it for piss all and stick it back on the shop floor with the same price tag

Thanks fellas, I heard from the Don today that my bike will be rideable as of Sat morning but not finished. Apparently ex-Jap parts still haven't arrived. That's alright though - I just want to go riding - all weekend - both days - Coro loop - up north - down south - etc etc.
