Thanks for the good wishes all.... I've just sealed a deal on a 2003 Suzuki GSX1400 with only 6000 miles from new and 1 owner .... I'll keep looking in, from time to time and offer help if I can .... If anyone from the NW UK spots a skinny bald guy in pink leathers riding a silver 03 GSX1400, give me a shout and I'll buy you a brew ..... Ride safe all .... Regards, shakey

Edit ... Likewise Dadarob ... I'll give you a shout on here next time I come up to Hartside, mate

Shakey ya bugger!
I'll drop by some time this year for a blast on the magic carpet.
Enjoy that thing and just make sure you don't drop it. You'll need a damned crane to pick it up again.
Take care.... oh pink one.

I successfully sealed pin hole in my new PR3 rear with Goop. I'm sure you'll all feel my pain at getting a slow puncture on 3 day old rubber, expensive rubber at that.
Bloody hell those things are great though....
Sealant done it's thing, back to point, twist and shoot riding again.
Fitted a new battery last weekend. Nearly 15 Volts at the terminals. Turned my starter motor into a frigging de-fribulator. Starting......clear! Vruuuuum!!!!

Moving into the final phase of tweaking the new CCT mod and gearing up for a big fat dose of servicing before Winter ends. Just got to find time to pull her, and me, off the road.

I'm not even going to go into what I'm going to do...... for your own sake.

Bloody tyres..... rusm frusm punctures!

Let us know how the patch holds up. I changed out my last rear that had a hole in it because I always thought that patching MC tires was a no-no
