Default No longer 'Bikeless' - Katie's back...

Well, after much tooing & frowing - Katie the KTM is finally safe & sound back in my garage

Finally the dealer has sorted out the rattling noise & vibration after 4 months and a week & managed to 'pull his thumb outta his ass' and deliver her back to me She came back nice clean & tidy (apart from some discolouration on the hydraulic pipework on the handlebars (hydraulic clutch & front brake pipes)) and the nuts and bolts on the handlebars are a little furred up too (probably due to the motorway miles she's done on a trailer up & down the A1 )

Anyway, finally she's back

The dealer's gonna 'poop' a brick when the summons to court arrives so I can be compensated for KTM's & his complete lack of customer care skills & my 'out of pocket expenses' (namely wasted road tax, wasted insurance, personal loan payments, days off work, letters sent, phone calls made, trips to Newcastle & back etc etc etc - the list goes on...)

Hopefully this can be sorted out sooner rather than later

I'll keep you all posted
