Work horse passed MOT today (a week late) with no advisories whatsoever. Has had no work other than consumables done on it since the rebuild 2 years ago so well chuffed 

If it aint broke, get your bloody hands off it!

That's crazy !! I was looking for a cooper s too , glad I went with a fiesta lol [THUMBS UP SIGN]AMCQ46 wrote:sh1t that's a bargain Lloydie......... I need a new clutch on the cooperS and it was going to be £450, but he called to say the dual mass flywheel is also fecked so that is an extra 400!
on the plus side I gave them the rear discs and pads I had bought and he will fit them for £50.
but the thought of the Yorkshire meet up, and the ride up there Friday afternoon with PeteL is cheering me up.

Re: Whats cheered you up today...?
Finally decided which bike Im going to replace my Superhawk with.
Tuono RSV4 APRC. Will be a few months yet, trying to see if I can get on a 1100 Factory.
The VTR is not leaving though. It will become my to and from work bike.
I just couldnt sell it.

Re: Whats cheered you up today...?
i road tested my new bike yesterday. ( not the actual one) it was totally amazing to be honest, so smooth and so much quicker that i was expecting. Fully faired ( not all that keen but needs must i like to see an engine normally ) but the power delivery is so smooth and after 60 miles it was a joy. Just a long wait till July to get it.

I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
