The cursed bike is at it again

Well after a year of trouble with the coils (new ones are now fitted and it runs like a dream), a new problem arose yesterday on my way to work, was about half way about to get on the dual carriageway and a lorry next to me beeps his horn and yells over that my bike is leaking fluids, as he says that the temp of my bike jumps from 4 bars to the red section with the warning light.

So I quickly change lanes and make a dash for the nearest side road over by the Swindon Outlet Village only to find a hole the size of a penny in my radiator :'( and water pouring out all over my fairing and onto the road.

Luckily I have breakdown assistance with my bike insurance (usually don't bother as my dad has a bike trailer), so i sat out in the sun, played my DS and waiting for a transporter to be sent down from Reading (the nearest depot SOS Recovery have), great bloke put it straight onto the van.

As I didn't get collected for 2 hours it was around lunch time so I took the day off work and spent it removing the old radiator (and consequently misplacing a number of bolts and screws) and preping the new radiator to go in. Luckily I bought one a few weeks ago as I had a feeling this one wouldn't last much longer, so i should be back on the road by the weekend.

But the curse has definately struck again, every time the weather is nice, the bike decides to die, so i hope you all enjoy the sun and perfect riding weather while my bike is under repair.

Bummer dude sorry to hear that.
Hope it all goes well and you get back onto two wheels again soon ;)

Thats unlucky mate, glad to hear that you have managed to get it sorted!! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
