..........Tuesday......

Your gonna wanna sell ya fxxr once back after being on me kawka

**LilSel** · 24th September 2007, 15:51

Soooo.... fxxr still in the shop...

Fireball killed my ZZR today...

I just got back to work from picking it up in the van n seeing it off to my mechanic.

I think what was most amusing for me was the fact that I have never ever had any issues mechanically with it... got to the shore to pick it up n I tried starting it... started first pop... (didnt sound nasty or anything but must've been a reason for her breaking down so still off to mechanic she goes for service n checkup

)... however FB tried n she just didnt wanna go

... selective bike?? or maybe I just have the magic touch?! hehe...

Not having much luck lately aye honey!!?!... least ya didnt drop her or anything... then I would've shed a wee tear im sure lol!

Well my bike is at my mechanics... is getting a new battery today along with service (oil change/filter), tune up etc and so on

Mechanic said his first thought when starting her was the battery was almost poked. Will check everything else but he is confident that it was just being tempremental yesterday n must not like fb much lol!!

Glad to hear that its nothing much tho

<-- *whew*

Dam girl when you txt me & all you said was 'i killed the zzr' i almost had a heart attack.... lucky i spoke to your girl before that or else i am sure that i would have fallen off me chair and that would have been embarrassing

Glad to hear that there is nothing that seems to be mechanically wrong with her girlies, that would've sucked a big one....

really??... I didnt think there was anything wrong with the one in it, but then it is at least a few years old... I've had the zzr for awhile n hadnt replaced it so was due I guess.

When it broke down, FB was at some lights n it lost revs n stalled.
She couldnt get it started again, tried a couple of times like half n hour later but to no avail... then then I got there about an hour later... I tried... n she started for me lol
