Nutty's number plate - Edict 317 of the Keeper of the Ring of Zarg

[Wapping]

Now know Ye...

Nutty's death trap bike is off to the dealer's to be part exchanged.

Nobody is to buy this bike. Their blood will be on Nutty's hands, staining his conscience forever.

Without delay, Nutty must post clear and precise details on:

The registration number

The frame / VIN number

The colour

A 360 degree photograph

The dealership involved

His full name, telephone number, email address, home address, Skipe contact details, Facebook account and / or any other readily accessible contact details as may be required by anyone on the Clapham omnibus (or concerned biker) to make contract.

Nutty must make himself available, without limitation, to answer all and any questions concerning the motorcycle.

So ends the edict.

Well said

Seconded

Why, has he had problems with it

And Wapping will also post details of his Dodgy Golf??

My Golf GTD did exactly the same. Still, never mind it's someone else's problem now.

I sincerely hope you have circulated the reg number, as a warning

Thought you would like that.

You know what? I clean forgot to do it. Mea culpa.

Shame on you - hope you slept last night despite your guilt

It's worse. My mother crashed it four or five years ago, bringing it close to an economic write-off.

Brilliant.

Oh, there's more....

On the way down the motorway to Provence a month or two ago, I hit a large branch, blown onto the carriageway in a flash storm about two miles out of Calais. This separated large parts of the under-body protection, the undertray, the cooling vents for the brakes and other unknown bits and bobs. No time to be lost, carried on to Provence.

The great news is that the last pieces all came off three days later when they clumped some obstruction or other on the Chunnel train as I exited for London. Great news, in that the shhhhhh rubbing noise that had punctuated my 700 mile 90+ MPH dash down and then back up the payage, overloaded with my mother's tat was terminated.

70 miles later I was back in E1 with overheated and very spongy brakes.

Was still a great car.... Went in part exchange....

And his K16 that steers to the left

(Or is it the right I can't remember now ... or I can't be fecked ... one of the two ... )

It's always been left.

Still not seen a well ridden GS come past me, even so .

 

[Giles]

Only because I'm too polite ...

Oh, it was your lights was it.

I wondered whose.

I offered to come on your last trip but got ignored!

Aren't they both the same or did I miss two trips!

Well, you rather spoilt it by limiting yourself to only being tempted to apply; a temptation which you failed to pursue and anyway, had you done so, would have foundered on the rocks as your toilet has a perfect gearbox, thereby disqualifying yourself by your own admission.

Of course you could have always kept schtum, collected your free return ticket and let me ride your bike.... But I would have found it to be excellent, which would have rather wasted everyone's time. I would have reported back that I had ridden (with some vigour) an allegedly shonky bike but found it fine... Which would have just made you look foolish.

.... Anyway, back on track....

Anyone with a WC clunky enough to warrant a free ticket to France this weekend?

Anyone got any fresh videos?

Anyone found a real fix?

Everyone still happy or unhappy?

Anyone wet their trousers?

I'm soooooo tempted to take up your offer of a free ticket but my gearbox is a gud'un guess this spoils it ???

PS You missed a decent jaunt either way. Come along another time.

PPS I did once miss a Tosser off a jaunt, for which I am suitably penitent.

Bad copy and paste, using my iPad whilst watching rugby. Multi-tasking? Know your limits!

By the time I realised (or, the offer came) there was a free place on offer, all the beds were taken!!!!! I did however pack a spare of pants, fuel up and was ready and waiting for the call to arms..... But it never came. Spent said weekend sat waiting. All I had to console myself was (feeling slightly unwanted) that it was my birthday so, had to spend it with the wife and kids and not a bunch of tossers!!!!!

Gear box perfect. As are, finding neutral, brake pads, centre stand, switch gear (both sides) front subframe, etc etc etc Didn't really want to disappoint. As I know how some.... Such as Mr F. Lipfly like to diss a good GS!

Me, keep schtum...oh no. The last thing I would have wanted was to have disappointed you with a decent gearbox. I even had a ticket in reserve so, it would not have cost you, a penny! Then who would have been foolish ?

Would love the chance....... Considered commenting on "ideas for 2014....." As I know a great place north of Verdun,..... Two Wheel Moorings??.... But find .....thread locked.....horror!

Don't feel bad!!! I'm sure they have forgiven you!!!

Ps ref Dilemma post...although I have a GS. I never travel with out a Tiger!!!!! (For another place and time).

Cheers Wapping, I read your posts with interest!!!
