Title: Shes Back
Post by: Green1 on September 02, 2013, 06:57:47 PM
 :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
It's only taken five months to repair but I got the bike back today just need the time to use her now
I had forgotten what it was like to ride she's a big old girl with almost nonexistent brakes but so much more rewarding than my Triumph 
Roll on summer
what it's September Bugger

Glad to hear it mate. I'll look out for a green flash on my ride to work! Have to say riding along Southend sea front this morning I was sorely tempted just to keep going for an hour or three ........

Well I used it for work today a round trip of 115 miles the speedo is out of whack again and I had forgotten how much noise the cam chain makes and the throttle seems a bit stiff so replacement cables are on order apart from that she runs spot on.I had a great ride even though it is a boring trip plenty of people waving and putting there thumbs up

It's not that good I haven't been paid in months I can't be bothered to do the paper work I keep going out on the bikes.It's like a disease not ridden them for months and now I can't stop

It's really good to hear you make a comment like that Pete, not so long ago I thought we were going to lose you when you posted about selling up and giving up bikes, so glad you saw the light and sanity returned! ;D

Thanks Hairygit, i have 6 bikes on the road at the moment, and am riding them all i am totally obssesed again, trouble is i nearly got wiped out again by some f--ker the other day nearly had to lay the bike down and slide under the car but i hung on and just managed to avoid disaster, about 4 weeks ago i got knocked flying by a car i was on my pedal bike out for a sunday ride, i got proper gravel rashed up and badly bruised, this was me just after it happened, the bruising came out over the next few days , my knee still hurts now,
it is a dangerous game on two wheels, hope your doing alright and recovering
