When i checked them they was fine, had them replaced just 5 k ago, not done a single wheelie in those 5 k i think either took it easy after constant wheelies at work shagged the last lot of bearings

he said something bushes and showed me the play init, all i heard is cha-ching more money!!!

Hope so was either going to go oulton this weekend or fishing with the lads out on the bike somewhere

Looks like the nice weather is turning now anyway, i woke up buzzing today at the thought of a new MOT and a proper blast

Mot guy marked my dads blade down as slight warped disc's he's convinced I've been giving both bikes the beans

Suspension linkages are a much overlooked item for maintenance.
My storm needed a whole new set after 36k miles, they had locked solid due to not greasing at the recommended intervals.
Just had to do the same with my FJR after not greasing for two years.

25 quid for the blade, 25 quid for the storm, then front wheel bearings and linkage bearings kit, plus labour, plus vat

how fecking much!!!!! didnt know bearings came in 24ct gold!

wombles hell, that just goes to show how much we save when doing our own work. So that's about £265 after the mot's and tax taken off. So minus the parts (work that out) and then you got your labour.

At least you got them legal know and you can get back out on the road. :thumbup
Good job you got them Scorpians

makes me happy to have a bloke called carl who lives near me, otherwise my mot might have cost me as much as yours. btw an mot in london cost me £35 a tenner more than yours.
as carl said at least you can give your bike the beans now......
