View Full Version : should have bloody known.............
...... If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all!
Sun was shining this morning, nice and warm, warm enough to wear leathers with no thermals, and normal summer gloves, a superb day to be on the bike........
Should have known...........
When I saw what a glorious say it was, that something must be wrong with my bikes, meaning I can't ride them, and true to form, the right fork seal on both bikes has blown..........
Another enexpected bill just before both MOT's and the insurance is due..............
<insert string of many and varied curses and swear words here>
What ever it is that goes around, it has got to you and set up camp.

I know that aint gonna replace your fork seal etc but massive hugs Hunar :) :) :)

Yeah...probably the one I nearly left a geordie shaped imprint in today after a dopey bint decided to do a u-turn immediately after coming off a roundabout.
Couldn't even offer any verbal as I was too busy trying to remove me nads from the fuel tank.
Nice one Richie [smiley=thumbup.gif] [smiley=thumbup.gif] [smiley=thumbup.gif] [smiley=thumbup.gif]

Sounds like you need a third bike.
Sh*tty luck.
Things tend to go to hell together I'm afraid.

if its the gsx as well, it will need 2 new bushes fella, and if that doesnt cure it, it will need the fork leg rechroming, 2 new bushes and a new seal..... not as expensive as it sounds tho...

Yup the GSX as well chief, not sure why it's blown, they where both changed less than a year ago, and I have not done that many miles on it as it was off the road for a while after i dropped it, and it went down on the left side.
Fork seals and oil ordered for the fj, they're less than a couple of years old, possibly not even a year.
Weather's set to change on Wednesday, bet I know when you'll be back on the road again.
