    Yes, but luckily my frame doesn't snap when I fart....well, not yet anyway.:oops:
    Remember when Skodas would fall apart if you farted inside them, which didn't matter because they only lasted a week anyway.....not a bad car now though:confused:

    No I didn't if I burst one tyre on her she would have been a right off. I used to call her flattery, do you know why? Flattery gets you nowhere.

    She was a deluxe model , she had a heated rear windscreen , to keep your hands warm when you pushed her.

    image.jpg So back to the Chinese bike talk.
    I'll be setting off sun morning for my Alps jaunt with a friend on a DL1000 to which he paint summat like £2500 for a 13yr old bike and we will compare bikes as there is a 'little sarcasm and bitchyness' between fellow biker friend!!
    Up to date I've modded a few items to make this more tourer that the tourer it's meant to be. I've made and fitted Cree spots to aid a shit headlight....
    Cree> image.jpg

    New mounts> image.jpg
    Fitted> image.jpg
    Then discovered KYB forks with seeping seal (oh no! ) Can't be replaced on warranty as bike is 18 months old, warranty - 2 years ....... But not transferable to new owner!!
    This is where it looses to jap bikes and other reputable makes.
    Ordered seals (£55) f**k shit 11 since and still not here as most dealers don't stock parts (well what do you say??)

    Anyway back to the better bits... New (pw) maxis sport touring tyres fitted, clock fitted, top box and any other bits in and amongst.
    So it looks like I'll be chancing the fork seals over the trip. Wish me luck (as everyone else took piss!!)
