End Of Another Biking Chapter
Hi Guys,Well finally made the decision and SOLD the GT750K yesterday and packed her on a truck and sent her on way up to Fife in Scotland.Really enjoyed the old girl both riding and restoring.Who knows may buy another soon but this time it would be a GT750B or a T500...................Rick

Re: End Of Another Biking Chapter
Hi Guys, well I've finally decided that after 31 years I don't like my kettle any more, in fact I hate it. So if somebody wants to take it off my hands I'll swap it for a Vincent, any model, or a Brough Superior, or an Aston Martin, preferably the one James Bond had in the films, or an unused penny black stamp. I'm sat by the phone waiting for your calls
Cheers, Steve W.

Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Re' my earlier post, I was of course joking. I've no plans whatsoever to sell my kettle, in fact I've told the wife I want it burying with me so no one else can have it

Proof that four strokes are over complicated

Re: End Of Another Biking Chapter
Alan, you're very good at taking words out of context and you know I'd never call my lovely wife "it", however after a lifetime of listening to her going on at me to get this done and that fixed and "why do you have to drink every night", I have no plans for a joint crypt, that's why the kettle's going with me I do plan on living to a hundred though.
Baz, as for the brake squeal I think it's probably just the pads that need bedding in with the new discs, probably got a bit of sweaty finger residue on them, so I'm waiting for some brake cleaner to arrive from ebay and that should do the trick.
