I've just rung them again, the new excuse is their supplier keeps letting them down but mine is first in the queue when the cores arrive. So end of next week again...

Summer will be over before I get to ride this bike again.

No way to re use your old one to get it mobile again?
I can't remember what was wrong with it.

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

It's split along a seam so leaks like mad now the spilt has got longer. They've got the old one as a pattern anyway & I believe they cut the bosses off where the pipes join & reuse them on the new one.

It's a damn good job I've still got the loan bike off a mate, I nearly took it back to her last weekend but she was too busy. Seems like it'll be getting more miles on it as she's working all this weekend.

I knew that. I was just feigning ignorance for comedic effect 😂

I sold 3 of my bikes last weekend and managed to get £3700 all in which wasn't too bad. I got rid of a ke100, kmx125 and kdx200.
I wasn't planning on buying anything else but spotted an old mz etz 125 listed in "other vehicles" on gumtree instead of motorbikes and scooters.
I went up to brechin for it last night.
It was £900, no mot, 3 previous keepers, starts and stops and runs premix.
Smells fucking amazing and smokes like fuck.



Hopefully should be on the road soon.

Great sound and nice practical pair of Craven Concordes

Misery spec too (without the oil injection pump and tank)
