New front, as the one on it of 1994 vintage won't hold any air

Or maybe I should just inflate it and ride it about a bit and see if the heat makes it reseal?

Save money by not buying things like this in the first place . Admit it , your just a sucker for some rusty puppy dog eyes

Nah , he has an eye for something that fits the bill ................... cough*GPZ 500 Crackerbox*cough

Haha the GPZ was ace, except for the horrible lumpy engine, the self destructing alternator(s), the cracktastic starter clutch(s), the suicide handling, the tankslappers, the random slides to nowhere.
Oh hang on, actually it was a bag of crap. Though the note* from the only vaguely attached** silencers would make children bark and dogs cry.


*I use that word loosely, maybe cacophony would be better, or racket, or aural trauma...
**A lot of the time not actually attached at all

That`s more like it

Actually the only time I really enjoyed that bike was over in deepest lancashire somewhere when I absolutely caned it round a sliproad, flat out by the time we got on the Mway, lovely CRACK on the overrun between gearchanges.


Then it broke down. Well more accurately it was at that moment I discovered the reserve setting on the tank to be faulty. And to be honest, that happening in lane 3, with another 2 lanes joining at the time, while it was busy, doing nearly 100mph still, and so hung over you could have set fire to my p*ss... was inconvenient at best.

Was it a "tense and nervous" moment ?
