Phew Dragon! makes you wonder how these bikes keep going (or stopping) in cases like yours. Glad you have sorted it.

 

Fifty lashes with warm wet spaghetti for not changing it when you bought the bike.....
Glad you found it out in time Carl, could've been nasty.......
Good one, at least now you KNOW the brakes and clutch are right ( and no dozy mechanic did a half job, and charged you too much)
I wonder how many of us are guilty of the same thing ? Me, for one......

 

Well I bought the bike at the end of the season ans told myself i'll do that over winter , still wonder how the clutch kept going, with little power to disengage it ! I started the motor this morning, ORGASM! with the Supertraap what a wonderful sound and guess what , snow started melting today !


I am one happy Carl !

 

I'm sure I can speak for all of us when I say we're all happy for you too Dragon,
So, when the snow melts, and you ride,pictures s'il vous plez !! (My French is really crap, sorry)

 

warm wet spaghetti, hmmm...

 

there will pics for sure, i have been ask by my dealer to participate in a vintage show, on the other hand i was watching the austraian grand prix, forget the race or the cars, the australian ladies are hmmm beautiful..especially in in the 35 degres over there now...

 

*Notes to himself he needs to chack the rest of the bike this weekend*

Good catch and as Shadow said, beter now then when it's too late! Still a bit chilly here in the Norhteast US, but I had to take mine to work today. Hopefully you'll be out soon too Dragon!
