Gripe of the day - What is yours? - Page 714 - SV650.org

Hallo Pete! Welcome back. Afraid I can't help with the bolt. Thoughts and prayers any good? No, I thought not...

Hope you sort it without too much of a struggle.

Hey Pete!

I'd loan you mine but I don't think it would make it though customs.

Heat is what you need though.
Best of luck. It's always the ones that are the hardest to get to.

People of my generation who are arrogant enough to think that their age gives them the right to impose their "wisdom" and opinions on everyone else in the belief that they alone are right.

While age may allow for acquisition of articulacy and the accumulation of knowledge, it does not mean that wisdom will be automatically bestowed.

Sometimes, and on crucial issues, younger generations will see more clearly because they are carrying less baggage.

As my mate says...old people look back,the young look forward !!!

Hi all!

Yeah, it's a 2011 Multistrada with 18k on it, and most bolts are totally screwed. Everything I undo gets cleaned and appropriate anti-seize applied. But I don't care because the bike is the best thing I've ever ridden. The power is intoxicating, the handling, up to the limits of the shock, is sublime. Full service history, ABS, centre stand, Ducati heated grips and full Ducati luggage. £5K.

Pete

Your mate is quite right Trev. The problems begin though when they look back to an imagined past that never was.

More Sad of the day, than gripe.

My Nan died last night. 91 not a bad run. Shame about the dementia at the end.
No grandparents left now, she was the last one.

Sorry to hear of your loss , my condolences to you.

maviczap · 15-03-19, 09:12 AM

Sad day indeed Shiftin, 91 is a good innings. Watching someone go downhill with Dementia isn't something I'd like to see again.

Condolences for you and your family
