Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Finished fixing up a much neglected VFR800 I picked up recently. It was in a real state. It's still not perfect but pleased enough with the transformation.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
This bike only had 2k miles on it and had numerous issues.
My previous one had 10k and was fine. The notorious hit and miss KTM quality control perhaps?

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Finally got the KTM 790 taken back and refunded by the dealer. I didn't mention it as it was an ongoing process I didn't want to jeapordise, but it had serious issues. The main one being intermittent...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
It is. I've almost had to sell a couple of times now but have managed to hold onto it. Difficult as it sits under a cover for four months of the year. I've used it for longer distance journeys but it...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Not today, but yesterday. Got the Street Triple out of hibernation. It's been long enough since I rode it that I was surprised by how good it is again.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
I'm actually selling the shock as I had to let the bike go a few months back. I did fit remove and refit and then remove the shock again. It's the one with the remote compression canister and the...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
They also often have good history records of shocks they've sold. I was able to take my VFR one in and get a full history of the shim stack adjustments, valving changes, spring rate advice and what...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Test rode one of those very red bikes today. The morning looked like another storm, high winds and lashing rain. By the time I was out on the test ride the roads were bone dry, the wind had stopped...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Almost out of the January Xmas financial aftermath and finally found some money to insure the DRZ. So, out for a (very slippery) ride on it today. I think the roads were slippier than the trails.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Prices of bits and bikes we stock have gone up hugely. £350 basic bike is now £450. Parts at around £8 are now £12+. I'm quite suprised at some of the new RRPs from the distributors when I get out...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Good news Chris. Crazy that it's become normal to have to push for any security in a job now. I had to push for 10 years to finally be employed rather than self employed in my job.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Still trying to convince my boss that he's effectively giving us a pay decrease by not changing it for over a year now, when cost of living has gone up considerably. Drawing a blank though.
