Title: Really !!!
Post by: ray1151 on July 18, 2017, 10:24:19 AM
I'm on a promise to get my bike back from the insurance repair people late this week / early next week.
I've ordered some crash bars from R&G and a long carbon can from Delcovic (very nice people to deal with, phoned them with some questions).
I've spoken to East London Kawasaki about the 600 mile service (as by the time I got home I had 800 on the clock) again seem helpful and say they can do it while I wait.
I've been diving round lots of websites in the absence of the Kwack and couldn't believe it when I saw;-

As you may remember dear reader this is the pile of crap I bought with 1 owner and 9700 m on the clock.
You may wish to draw your own conclusions here.

You mean you missed this epic tale of woe about SV11 VFL??

apart from all the problems Ray had with it had they are still advertising it as a 1 owner bike.

Well there was 1 owner before Ray + Ray = 2 owners in my book

3 months of gtr ownership, about 10 days actually able to ride the bloody things thanks to Daytona and a clueless truck driver
