Hope you don't find the rider in there.

Must be in the silly handshake group.

Did not see the bike is no defence. I note the bike was running with lights which makes not seeing even harder to believe.

sounds good but I wouldnt know what to do with one

Make things like crash bungs, bar end weights and pistons for calipers.

He is open to sensible offers as he has not thought much about a price to advertise. He wants it to go so if you are interested he is down the road about 8 miles from you. Well worth a viewing. It has 3&4 jaw chucks a face plate etc. It has a 240V 13A motor.

Contact me if interested. This belongs to a friend of mine and has seen little use. Ideal for projects/mods.

Remove them from the planet is the way to stop scum.

Get pictures ready for the claim.

Hope it turns up

Hope the thieving bastard(s) end up under it. Accept my apologies but the law is useless to stop these prats reoffending.

The guys are right chad you will end up with sweet nothing if you don't take control of the action. You need it sorting now at your convenience not his. The longer you piss about, the easier it will be for him to walk away.

looking around has anyone used bikesure?
just doing a quote online now for custom bike insurance.

Do a Carole Nash quote online it should be £40 cheaper. Ring and you get it for the less price. Don't forget your recovery is included.

Been on and no virus messages. Will say its been running slow at times during the past week,.

You will be self employed is that a bad thing?

Hope all turns out well for you Mick and she returns home safe and well.

Hope you have more success than me getting a pair to fit. Who are they making boots for these days. Not me.

Wish him all the best and get full value for the bike and himself.

Another thing that seems to be mixed is, the 3/4 rule. Is it 3/4 of the WHOLE tyre, or 3/4 of the center of the tyre?

I do tend to replace mine a little early than most, but I think the VP2 is getting too low in the middle. Mind you, I buggered up a BT021 on a run up to Yorkshire and back! had 3mm tread when we left, was below the wear mark and bubbling when we got back

That ain't early it needs changing. Get the plod on a mission stopping you and you might just get 3 points and £60.

As for the BT021 that is just about what to expect.

depends on your budget

I'd have to disagree with that mate-when I put the brakes on I want to be sure of what's in there, so if that means spending an extra tenner, so be it. I've had EBC in all my bikes and they work well without grabbing, and they're kinder to discs than sintered metal ones. Recommended

Agreed

Put distance between you and this problem or you will get drawn in at the deep end. Let the wheels turn slowly, will get the result. Say too much and it will bite you. Treat him with respect although its hurting you to do so. Prats like him will have been watching you so make sure you are "clean" as he will try anything to drag you in with him.

Sorry to hear of your sad loss. Will take time for the pain to ease.

have you got it booked in then ?

Nope, but going to do the oil change and what not in a couple days, £100+ for oil/filter and to check bolts is a joke..

This is how they reject your guarantee. Its a rip off.

Tell you what Ken I'm a convert. I've had them on my ZZR for a couple of years and can't praise them enough. Good wear rate, and the best handling tyre I've had on this bike. I've got a set of the old type to fit on my VFR before I take it abroad. Recommended, particularly at such a price.

You doing them yourself?

No mate my buddy Mash will do that for me for a small consideration.

A few jars lol.

Close to £200 B/stones and my last front was poor on mileage. 2 fronts to 1 rear.

that the bt021's? i hated them on the bandit, got dunlops at min, doing well so far 500 miles in worn in, and front chicken strips are smaller than the rear im putting that much trust in them

Using the 021's on the bike and replaced the front not a pair as lots of proper tread and shape remaining on the rear. When both are finished I might just try the MAXXIS.
