no riding for me this weekend
« on: April 18, 2008, 06:06:09 PM »
Ok so this is how it goes......

last year most of you know that I had a slight low side in the IOM and I haven't really been very forthcoming with repairing it .... (spending money on trackbike etc)

But I thought sod it I will do it .... so a few weeks ago I put it in to get repaired and unfortunately it won't be ready ........

to say I am pissed off is a bit of an understatement ..... some parts I ordered were delayed they finally got here (missing other vital part) turns out when curing the paint it showed up more damage.... so they are not happy with releasing the bike until its mint......


so don't look like I am getting it back till tuesday now  :cry: :cry: :cry:


Sunday I will probably be going in me car  B-)

ooh I will be at the ace on Sunday too...will likely be on my GT750 no the kwacker...unless the weather is the slightest bit wet  and it will be the kwacker for sure...was hoping to be on my KH400 but it has a wee little brake problem...and a very stiff clutch actuating action...common problem...more work needed on it before its road worthy...

I know exactly where you are coming from on this Glenn. I also am bike less (sort of) as I too am waiting for parts to arrive that are taking forever to turn up despite empty promises.  :crybaby2: Bastids.   :boxing:
