Minging headaches

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Lozzo, Sep 19, 2008.

  1. I wish I still had mine for general use. Really, it wasn't all that
    unreliable, but when it was, it was dead easy to fix (clutch excepted,
    but that was a once in a lifetime job [1]) and for an exPlod with >100K
    on it when I got it, it gave me very little trouble, really.

    Actually, of all the bikes I used during my courier period, only that
    and the CBX550 never had to get the rescue services out for a mechanical
    or electrical breakdown.
    Pah.
    I thumb my nose at you.


    [1] Except if you go for the non-OEM clutch plate by AP. Avoid at all
    costs, as the centre boss cracks out of the plate after a few K. The OEM
    part is worth the extra money.

    Hmm... I've got a K100 to put bodywork on and swap the forks and
    controls with a K100 with a sidecar on plus rebuild the calipers.

    Then I've got a z500 to get running and sold... And, finally, I've got
    my daughter's Corsa to get fixed after the last accident.

    I think I've enough stuff on my plate at the moment...

    A thought Loz. Given your adventures with TIA, would it be too far off to
    think there's a possible link?

    Last year, not last *OSM

    Some loud bokker. As Nick says, visually appealing but far too Nige for my
    taste. Didn't stop me having a bit of fun, which seemed to entertain the
    audience of Platy, Tony Mack, Laura & DanL

    Well as you'd not mentioned that at the time I wrote the above, I wasn't
    sure, but I'm glad you've got the appt.

    Best of luck and let's hope it's just a ****-off big headache.

    Didn't you see my results?

    Normal I am. NORMAL I tell you.

    OTOH there are some deeply suspect fuckers in this NG.
