Wheel removal

[ray1151]

In 2017 after Daytona in West London sold me a 2010 GTR that was should have been scrapped I ended up with a brand new very heavily discounted GTR.
To run it in we went the long way from North London to Chester, York and over to Whitby via the A171 & 174 and home via Lincoln. Waiting for a truck to pull out from a filling station North of Whitby without him looking it did and he hit us. I could have cried, I hadn't had the bike a week. We also had a ride to Northern Spain all booked up for August.
Long story short the bike got fixed in time for us to ride down to Getaria.
Carol Nash / New Law were useless,-you should settle 50/50- but I was stationary! - Just take the deal son.
Well I didn't, I got onto the actual insurer Aviva, who sent me an email saying that they did not hold me to be at fault in any way.
Their solicitor however told me to settle 50/50. Again I refused.
Last September without warning a letter came from them saying the other side had admitted full liability along with a cheque refunding my excess.
I wonder if all these linked solicitors want is to get everything settled in the most cost effective way regardless of inconvenient truths!

Still like Whitby tho..

Brilliant, thanks Mick... I have replied to your P.M .... he was a special teacher back in the mid 60s - he was strict but committed, knowledgeable and always supportive of every student

If you click it then it should display correctly, not sure why the forum shows the thumbnail that way up :-)

Finally got time today to put the wheels back in, with new Angel GTII tyres fitted. All torqued up. Brake calipers serviced (3). Drive splines greased. Drive linkages oiled. Sat nav wired up to RHS auxilliary socket. Overall a good days work.
Now to get a good day without salt on the roads to scrub those tyres in !!
I'm thinking, Middlesbrough, Helmesley, Scarborough, Whitby, Middlesbrough. Plenty of nice roads there.

Well today I finally got to scrub the tyres in. 170 miles.

Got the bike MOT'd this morning in Stockton-on-Tees then went for a run to Squires and back.
Took it steady early on then the tyres came into their own. Really good feel from them and they inspire confidence.
Now to clean the bike :-)
