My GS hasn't had any problems *sigh*

[Slowdown]

After spending a few weeks looking after the Mrs I *had* to get out today. First time on the bike for 3 weeks!

So I got it out and couldn't see *any* rust or corrosion on it. 16500 miles in all weathers and zip, zilch, nada rust or corrosion A bit of spider poo on the screen though Soon wiped off and a new coat of Mr Sheen applied.

So I checked the tyre pressures, after such a layoff and cor! - they were just the same as the last time I looked - 36 at the front and 42 at the back. Tourances and spoked wheels must have something to do with it

So i checked the oil level - yep - same as the last time I looked. And I couldn't see any oil leaks either. What's the world coming to ???

Then I went to start it. And blow me. It started like normal - just like it did when new, or 5000 miles or 10000 miles.

So I rode off to get some bits for the bike(bling) and a chicken for dinner. mmm - well tasty it was too. And 'cos I'm in such a good mood, the Mrs say's she's a sure thing tonight!!!




Night boys - wish me luck, as it's been 3 weeks since that too

Good luck on you mission

Apart from the battery being replaced, an oil seal being replaced and the rear suspension being pathetic, my 1200 is just peachy too.........

Me too, I sometimes feel really left out here 'cos my 1200 has been so reliable.....or have I just given it the kiss of death

I've gone out and bought a fire extinguisher and am camping out in the garage over the weekend in case the bike spontaneously bursts into flames.
