Back on two wheels

Post by BladeMan »

At last I have a new bike. picked up an k2 GSXR 1000 today (no I'm not changing my name). so hope to see people out and about soon.

Bit peed off that I paid over £1k to insure it though with a £850 excess :(
only paid £3,300 for the bike. the got to pay a 1/3 agian to insure it. and for some strange reason it would have been more if I had not added my brother (who past his test about a week ago) as a named rider. that dropped it by £100. I don't understand insurance companys.

8) Hi bambam . Well it failed its mot , as it had a " dink " in the front wheel . Its a import from Hong Kong , so parts are hard to find . Needed a front wheel . Which is what i been waiting for . After four weeks waiting , it finally arrived . :lol: :lol: ......Happy Days . Then found out yesterday that the front tyre is differant size :cry: :cry: Bad days . I got a Honda CB900F Bol Dor . Now in this country all front tyre rim sizes are 19 inches . This barstard is 18 inches . So now waiting for a 18 inch tyre . .......This is just my luck . :cry: :cry: :cry:
