Chris you absolute fu*king moron.

He he. Only messing.

I can pop over on Thursday if you like but I haven't got a headstock stand or SV adapters for the Abba. I am however a bonafide expert at suspending bikes from rafters if you've got ratchet straps. I reckon chances are that your forks have twisted slightly rather than one bending unless you hit something pretty hard with the front.

Let me know if you need me.

he's back on the road, bit of plastic welding, swapped out the bend forks, and check all was stright enough to be used, not pretty, but at least he's got transport again.

a mssive thanks to mark, who left my house a little after 10 this evening. i now have a functioning motorcycle with straight forks (all be it them without my hagon springs, pre load adjusters and heavier oil

) and a welded front mudguard. i also managed to learn a fair bit too, so there is some positive to this. thanks for the well wishes and phone calls/texts, all apreciated even if i didn't sound like it at the time. however the pi55 taking has been very poor, what's going on? i'm almost disappointed!

OK.

Erm... what's yellow, squeeks and slides down the road?... Chris numbers.

How'd you make a yellow SV more attractive?... Give it to Chris numbers.

Hey Chris, how'd you eat your dinner with a bent fork?

It's not only bananas that are yellow and slippery!

Chris numbers is so down to Earth he frequently wants a closer look.

That's it. I'm here all week. Thankyou, thankyou

Do you still want to come over for the other bits?

What did the front hit to bend the forks?

If you re-read the thread this is clearly a cunning plan by Chris to get lots of hugs, kisses and sympathy from all the females of the Soho Massive (and Zig), before he swans off travelling for 6 months. We've only got Mark's comments to prove Chris even crashed his bike.

At the very least Mr Plank should come out this Friday, show us Mark's handiwork and buy us all a coffee

Whilst I can see that as a cunning plan on Chris's part, I'm not in the habit of travelling 75 miles no matter how nice a cuppa is (although getting and fitting the broken bits was a convincing touch...

) just to get someone else hugs & kisses......

Cheers Mark.

Are you saying that Chris didn't even make the tea for you himself, but got his Mum to do it?!
