20.11.11

Decided to bring the Bike out of the Garage today
and fire her up, Guess what, Flat Battery LOL.
So dig out the Battery Charger and stick it on
charge for a few hours & over night,
This morning 21.11.11 tried again and Woosh hey hey
she fired up ( you would expect it though).
So I think during the winter months while she is
SORN while on holiday in the garage, she will have
to be started up every 2 weeks.

O Yes in Deedee.....

Well today was the day. Sprint GT day, weather was good but cool, 5.5 deg C at 9am when we set for York. After sorting out he Insurance arrangments for the test ride Woooooosh we were off, 63 miles or there about's then stick some fuel back in the Blue Beauty and back to the dealer's, Sob Sob to hand her back. Had a great ride around for nearly 2 hrs, the only issue was that they will not offer me the correct money for my Bike in Part ex !!!!! So off to a different dealer to see if I can get a better deal. I'll up-date here and also on Facebook...

The End Is Nigh !!!!

At Bloody last, the wife & I are taking a trip over to York in the morning to at last have a test ride on the Triumph Sprint GT.
We had arranged to go on Monday just gone but the weather was not too great here so at short notice I've managed to get a holiday off work 2moro & the forecast looks Bingo.

Having a Mosey at the GTR 1400 Kawasaki

Well it's a week since I returned back from my holiday in Spain.
The bike went up on Ebay but sadly the reserve price was not met, in it was
short by nearly 1000 pounds, so I'm looking at Part-Ex ing it or trying a shot on a web site called Piston Heads.
Today I went to the dealer where I bought my bike from & had a look at the 1400GTR one in Black 2 yrs old & one an Off Silver colour 1yr old.
Both nice bikes.

She's Back....

LOL, I was having a lay in this morning when the Mobile phone started to ring
@ 8.50am.
Rushed down stairs took the call from a mobile number I did not know, it was the Mechanic from J & S Bike dealer, the part was there and he had fitted it to the Bike, so now she is back at home...

Still at the Dealers !!!!!

Well, 2 weeks 2moro and the Qwack has been back at the dealer's.
Gave them a call on Saturday, Kawasaki have okyed the Warrenty work and
the bike evan though it's at the dealer has been booked in for the part's
to be fixed next Friday sometime, so it will be Monday next week before I can evan get to pick the Bike back up.....

Out today just like the SUN..

Left home at 8.15am got Fuel then up the Motorway to Squires Cafe.
Breakfast (not the Slim Version) & a cup of tea each for me & Ashley then we had a ride around what is called The Yorkshire Wolds, stopping off in Stamford Bridge for a quick drink before heading back home as Ashley was doing something this afternoon & I was collecting the new Mountain Bike.....
On the way back via a town called Selby I heard some Unfamilular noise coming from the bike, ha ha, the Bracket which conects the Exhaust to the Manifld pipe had come loose & was making one hell of a Noise, so back to the Kawasaki Dealer to let them sort it out, well it's still under Warrenty.....
