That's bad news for you dude :-/

Hopefully her skills and experience will put her at the front of the others now looking for retail jobs.

Thank you! She's having it rough at the moment customers being really nasty, don't know how she smiles and carries on with some of the sh t she has put up with this week. Some people are just plain nasty anyway you never know whats round the corner and hopefully she will find something else or stay at home....i dont mind!

Oh no! Had nowt but trouble with that bike Chad, hope you get it sorted and can sort a loom.....can one not be made up by a bike electrickery wizard?

Think that about sums it up Chad! Although my wife was in charge of the Christmas department setup in her store and did a bloody good job but she has a lot of pride in her work and was complmented on the display. Just another casualty if our economic climate at the moment.

Didn't take the damper rod out Ian just upended the fork overnight to drain, seals are fine.

Tidy job mike and I like the new colour

did you spray the Busa stealth black?

NOOO! Mark would have kittens, its well wrapped up mate! Lol

Yeah! can't really argue with that Dave But in Sue's store customer service is very highly promoted and its a shame because she likes her job, is good at it (its not just standing at a till, as in anyones job there is a whole raft of skills unseen by the public) and she has always given 110% ..........But every cloud has a silver lining and I wont be struggling for a dog sitter when my bike is calling!

tell it like it is m8

Always get a straight answer from Ian.....no prisoners taken!

Looks like B.H.S has had it, been anounced today the are going into receivership......and our lass has to find out on the radio! Its a shame because her store has always made money and were told recently they should be safe but obviously not!

Time for some bike maintenance! The forks on the Bandit are 10 years old and starting to show it, so time to whip them out for a rub down and colour change.

Bike blocked up and forks out There's a Busa hidden in there somewhere  


oil drained as its due for a change!


Rubbed down ready for primer


Two coats of primer

Colour next!!


Nice Gloss Black instead of silver


Re-filling with oil, 509cc capacity with 105cc air gap fork fully compressed and spring out

Its coming along nicely Ian, done some cracking work to her mate!
