A Huge Thanks

  1. 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:eek:,anyway bike collected this morning at 08.45 with a new tyre on it's way tomorrow or the next.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
     
  8. Your suspension still works when it's strapped - and can rub through on a longer journey. It may help others to consider when strapping a bike on a trailer ;)
     
  9. I did ratchet it down on the forks a fair bit just incase,but take your point of view.:upyeah:
     
  10. Nice :upyeah:

  11. Did they lend you the trailer as well, looks like the minimum size required to move a Harley?

  12. ....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.:upyeah:
     
  13. If anyone is interested I’ve got a trailer like that for sale. It’s got a big ramp on the back, dual axle and brake. Made by Wessex with an internal dimension of fractionally over 2.4m x 1.2 so it will take full sheets of plasterboard or ply.

    It’s been a fantastic piece of kit but I can’t store it in London so it has to go unfortunately.
     
  14. @Sam1199 Pictures and a price tag might help folks make up their minds when you get a chance.:thinkingface:
