Forecast is pretty dismal but if it improves I'll think about it.

I'm not sure there really are any newbies, just a few old-timers grumbling.

Bike is being picked up on Saturday for New Tyres and rear wheel change
Also a 8k service
So no
Also no for the rest of the month due to lack of money!
Ask me next month when i am sure i will have the itch back

Compound excuses. Is this what we've sunk to?

My bike doesn't even work! Mind you, I've got a spare...

Who ever needs a rear wheel change? And a 8k service? Oil, filter and plugs at most, surely?

8k service is the first biggish one, certainly not one I'd want to skip. 4k and 12k are glorified oil changes but the 8k and (especially) 16k are crucial.

You have to be a proper nancy to need someone to take the bike away to change the rear wheel though. I'm a hamfisted tit at the best of times but even I can manage that one. I think I even took a front wheel out once. Go bears!

I could probably manage to change a rear wheel if it was just a simple as taking the wheel out but as i hit that pot hole last year the rim is completly knackered and it has a flat too which is not repairable from a poxy industrial looking staple i cannot :(

So even if i did change it i would not be able to put a new tyre on the new wheel so hence a collection is required

The front is just squared off
Completely agree with the 8k service - can't miss this one especially as i have one of the oil burning blade's too

So lets hope it does not need anything else done to it [-o< other wise it may be June when i next get out.
