Don't ever buy a bike from Uk13iker

Because he lives in Liverpool and they clearly get all the sh1t fuel! (I appreciate there are other possible causes of this)
Come on, did you really think I was about to slag him off?
So this morning I was up very early. 5am. Belfast International Airport awaited for my flight to Manchester.
First issue when I got there was the timetable Google had suggested to me was nonsense and the bus wouldn't get me to Liverpool in time as I had a boat trip in Holyhead booked for 1400 with last check-in at 1330.
So had to get a taxi! 60quid. Gutted.
The I meet Lee who is a good lad. Quite helpful and none of the issues were his fault.
Got the storm. Hell of a noise from it. Took her away from him. Genuinely thought he was gonna cry.
Stopped at a filling station. Filled her up and started my journey. A few miles later just out of the tunnel and getting onto M53 towards Wales feeling good.
Give her some throttle to get her up to speed and she won't go past 60. More gutted
as she basically cut out. Would turn over and fire but die again. Just couldn't get her going at all. Almost crapped myself as I was in the middle and couldn't get over to the hard shoulder. Stopped and had to push the bike over!
This is when I found out my breakdown cover is amazing. They were on their way within no time and willing to take me to Northern Ireland. When the RAC fella was 10mins away he called me. I had started the bike and she had run without hesitation for about 10mins.
Told him I'd give it a go. Bike was a bit underpowered for a few seconds then the smoothness kicked in. And that was that. She did about 40 miles after that and it was flawless. Unfortunately I had been running tight for time and was never going to make the boat after the delay So back to Liverpool I went.
Missed my boat obviously. Gutted again!
Boat booked for the morning. She will be back home tomorrow evening.. Staying in Liverpool tonight.
Hell of a day. On the plus side happy with my purchase but a courier would have been less expensive than this has turned out to be! Never again!
P. S will change the title of this sometime so Lee doesn't seem like a tw@t
