Mines a bit better than one of the guys at work who had a puncture on his Kawasaki Versys thing...
He was hanging around at the gate when I came back to the yard & said he was waiting for a puncture repair guy...
Anyhoo this guy turns up in a merc van. Takes the wheel off, takes the tyre off, mushroom plug from the inside, remounts & refits...all for £50, 20 of which is the call out charge...
So when I went out to leave he was putting cards on the other bikes, so I grabbed one off him & got chatting...& he says I've got a seat hump for one of them... OK what colour & how much...Yellow & £** Ok I'd be interested in that... He says txt me & when I'm in the area (quite often..) we'll sort it out... Turns out he has some other bits as well...
So hows your luck ?

It's good to talk...... Even if you get the hump after meeting up with him, Mac
Sound familiar?

Re: So hows your luck ?
Both crash helmet manufacturers have prices well below that cost, so all should be well.

Re: So hows your luck ?
So its been a while but managed to hook up with the Tyre guy this week...
Slight crack in the yella one other than that all good.
The shock is really clean, I asked him if he knew the milage on it... Turns out he bought a non running Storm cheap as off some bloke real cheap & these bits came with it...He got the bike running & sold it on...Some time ago but just had these laying around...
We had a bit of a haggle...''these covers are rocking horse poo rare...ect''
Er well not really I've 8 storms & they all have covers...
Offered him £10 for the shock... ''But they are on Ebay for £70...''
Yeah they well may be but I bet they dont sell for that...
Any way a deal was struck aggreed a price for the lot... Theres a std bikini fairing as well but thats still on me van...
Trouble was I was £5 short so he took what I had...which is what I offerd him in the first place...
Then today I parked up behind a block of flats to go kill some Mice & laying on the floor I saw this...
But better still underneath it was this...
The yam one is a tad small for me prob about a 40 chest but there are no lables in it.
The Alpinstar one fits me...which is a result...All the zips zip no rips, tares or scuffs...
Checked all the pockets as you do & only one item found....
The bloke must of been unlucky as not only has he lost his jacket but as the item was dated best before 9-14 hes not seen much action either...
