I hope you enjoy it.

Me too, but I’m unlikely to get overly involved in the social side.

Love it. I hate these cunts.

Fuck yeah

This is why I do everything myself and the bikes never see the inside of a dealer or indy.

Does this impact resale values like with a car?

Genuine question, asking for a friend...

[JLv3.0]

Dunno tbh, I never really sell stuff Put it this way - if I was buying a bike off someone who did all maintenance as per the handbook, and logged the date, miles, parts and consumables used, even done to which fluids etc were used - I'd have the guy's arm off compared to a handbook full of stamps.

[dinny_g]

Makes sense...

Bikes aren’t cars - you can go mental fast for the price of a city car but mechanically relatively straight forward.

Performance of a Supercar, Mechanics of a Super mini.

Electrics aside...

[JLv3.0]

Electrics in what way? The GS911 I mentioned earlier gives you near-desler levels of diagnostics on the BMWs for example.

[dinny_g]

Oh right...

I was thinking stuff like the Engine Mgt system would be as complex as a cars on the big bikes..

It's a mystery isn't it. I still don't really understand his points above.

[NotoriousREV]

I ordered new number plates for my bikes (I was bored). I intended to go down a size so they looked better without being obviously too small. I got the size wrong. I suppose I could wear them as a badge

It hasn’t stopped raining for 15 years. I’ve nothing better to do.

Anyway, I’ve just fixed the lawnmower. I can’t actu use it because it’s pissing down, but there you go.

OK, it doesn’t look quite as tiny now it’s fitted to the bike:

[mik]

It looks good!

Does it have BSi no and sellers postcode though?
