Righty ho, if anyone's fussed these are the other toys.

Firstly, my shoddy pride and joy.

Makes a heavenly noise.

Enjoy!

If you had spent more time maintaining your daily smoke (318 touring) and less time nailing tat to the golf you might have made the Ace last night ! :)

Ha how rude!

The golf's off the road at the mo, the touring's the daily. I'd have made Ace if I hadn't gone to Hatfield to pick a mate up - making it back would have been a different story maybe :)

I've only had the thing a week and a half so I don't think you can hold its service history against me ;)

On a positive note, at least it wasn't the cam belt that snapped, yet

Cambelt was done anbout 4,000 miles ago so hopefully I'll be ok for now. I've had a few curious peeks into the transplant forums too, so if it does go it'll be a blessing in disguise once something tastier goes in :)

I'd be a bit worried that the person who allegedly fitted a cam belt thought it was ok to refit a completely w4nked fanbelt :o

It was a garage fit, but I'll have a peek under the cover for safety's sake anyway.

Sorry to disappoint :P

I'm looking for an RSV mille in a year or so's time - the kawasaki was bought A) because it was £275, and B) to get used to filtering and general riding again after a brief spell away, and to rack up the all-important no claims.
