My AR trip was to go all the way to book a B&B room which i have now lost the deposit...all the extra stuff i brought for the AR gone to waste...and not even doing the AR.........
I only managed 91.2 miles !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oil all over the back wheel, spilling from the so called fixed engine leak,
yesterday's wednesday/thursday's 12000 miles service cost £520 quid and on a service was told they had fixed the leak........
like fxxx they fixed it.
bike back to triumph, and me back home...
i dont know weather to laugh or cry....

I'm really sorry to hear about your bike Tony

Thats just bloody frickin crap. I thought you'd broke down, but not to such an epic scale. I do hope you have shouted a lot at them

Cheer up, it's only money and a lost weekend.

Compared to one story I've heard from the last few days you practically won the lottery.

Thanks dizzy, i'm been in a bit of a shock/daze since friday.........
just wondering what could have happened.
when we stoped at the motorway services, my back wheel was half covered in oil !!!!!!!!!
and up untill then we were using A roads...........and at a good pace.
i could have come off at any right bend since we started the ride 91 miles ago....
And i was TEC, so no one saw the state my tire was like with oil spashing on it..........
after a £520 full service was told it was good to go...(i told then i was going up north).i assumed the bike was ok......
lucky lucky lucky....i think i have used up all my life's...
