He has a 11k orange storm with a black frame in the shop needing some work (won't start) the bike is in very good condition except from someone has got a little carried away with enamel paint on bolts and stuff but otherwise looks very nice :-) .
The owner buys and sells bikes !!! (Must resist )
Nowt. Some of us work and have a hour and half commute ya' know!! Roll on July/August when the days are longer and I can look at it and have a beer and think about doing something to it.....Actually I did buy some fork seals and a driver ready for doing the forks when I get back from Cuba. Does that count?
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
Got down and dirty with all 3 today. While I had the cam covers off the storm I thought I would triple check the mcct settings and timing. All was good but have slight OCD lol.
Oil, filter, coolant and carb balance on the cat the workhorse.
Finally got round to stripping Suzi and checking the clearances, all good and changed brake fluid and bled rear brake.
Been outside since I got back from work this morning at 6.30.
Oh and I've sprayed the tank for the storm. Now time for a sandwich.
Got rid of the Multistrada. Sold it to my bike butcher for a paltry sum. He's going to rebuild the engine in his spare time. Good bl**dy luck. I've never been so happy to see the butt end of a bike....
