Dont do that! Do you use it every day? If it's just sitting for winter mainly I could look after it for you until you find a garage or something?

What a nice offer Rich, you really are a jolly good egg.

Anna, if you take up his offer, be warned he might just polish it away.

Dont sell it Anna, especially not at this time of year you'll get naff all for it.

Get it put right keep it till the spring and then if you still feel the same sell it then.

I know how you feel I've been having series of nagging little issues with mine that are really begining to naff me off now

Its disheartening isnt it

or take it apart and modify it, it might look like a BMW GS by the time hes finished with it though

Okay after a deep breath and time to think a bit I have booked it into the garage tomorrow (more time of work!!) and will get home start to come out and charge it as I think it will start with a jump from the lorry I think I have worked out what is wrong so that should save me labour costs if nothing else.

Thank you for your very kind off Rich I will let you know if I need to take you up on that after it comes out of the menders and I will have another look at the damage tomorrow morning.

Fizz I know your right it is the wrong time of year and perhaps it is just because I have had so many things go wrong with it that I am feeling like this...when I came to it this morning I just thought here we go again!! (and I really hate feeling miserable about something that normally gives me so much fun!)

I felt like selling mine yesterday its just one thing after another at the moment

Mines just little niggles though nothing major like you've been putting up with.

I am sorry to hear of your latest problem, Anna. Do you think the
local kids knocked your bike over or was it a natural process?

I think you should take up Rich's kind offer. I myself am not
offering to share my garage with you because Mrs Professor might
not appreciate this.

Well as you know I live out of town so its probably inconvenient for daily use (well totally ) but should you wish to house it somewhere until the next riding season I have room. I can let you have a key so you could come and use it as much as you wanted to / fix it etc if you wanted no bother in any case.

So see how it goes.

(oh and its better to sell nearer spring, in any case).
