A Huge Thanks

Yesterday i was out and about on one of the bikes down on the coastline as you do and had the misfortune of getting stuck with a rear tyre pun?ture,i think it was 21 years ago on a Harley that i had received the last pun?ture on a motorcycle),unfortunately it was a slash mark & not a hole so it couldn't be repaired so they let me store the motorcycle overnight which made a pleasant change from we can't because of the company insurance bullshit.
So a huge thanks to the team at Sykes Harley Davidson at Lowerdicker who gave me a tour of the premises / warehouse etc,great to see that decent folk still exist,they also had a electric bike up for sale at £28k plus,anyway bike collected this morning at 08.45 with a new tyre on it's way tomorrow or the next.

 

They're fine with No issues on the paintwork,anyway it needs a complete new paint job when i finishing riding it.

 

Never had anything like that in 31 years riding,i just rely on lady luck.I've run out of petrol a few times over the years,also this bike stop working one day when overtaking a HGV,but was presented with a hard shoulder immediately,only to discover burning wires / fuse underneath the seat unit,stripped back the wires and made a connection & off i went again.But you're right i do need a extra pair of hands just incase in the future,just a tool kit would have helped on the day.

 

Stu,there is so much traffic film / crap out on the road surfaces today,there's just no point at the moment,i've many marks on the 996 nose cone as well.

 

I did ratchet it down on the forks a fair bit just incase,but take your point of view.

 

....and quite possibly BMW's as well.

I've to say i do like a motorcycle trailer with a very wide ramp for self contained loading & unloading without outside assistance.

 

@Sam1199 Pictures and a price tag might help folks make up their minds when you get a chance.
