Hi all,just bought a '02 Bird yesterday after impressive 40 mile test ride :D ,got 5 miles after parting with much cash to dealer (white brothers,darlington) when joy was diminished by 4 inch screw in rear tyre! :bigcry: ,lifes a bitch etc.All credit to the shop however as they sent someone to the rescue straight away and have lent me a new cbr600 untill they fit a new tyre to my 1100xx(even the 600 is WELL impressive after my 17 year old cbr1000,which i've kept as i cant' bear to part with it!).Are'nt insurance companies complete twats(I know i'm stating the obvious!)?,£750 was the best quote I could get for comprehensive on the'Bird with my other 2 bikes added on :banghead) .Anyhow,should have the xx back on the road in the next few days :-) .
Hope to meet some of you nutters(I have been watching...)in the future on ride outs etc.

You're doing it wrong dude, I rest my nuts on the tire while I poke the pipes ! :wink) Alternating side- to - side is like switching between two twin sisters. 8)




Fook me!! :banghead) Had to go back and edit this post as I was so involved with thinking about pokin' my Bird's pipes that I forgot to welcome our newest sucka.... oops, erm,uh... I mean "member". :oops)

Welcome Jez 8) I hope you find this a nice place to hang out... just dont stand downwind from our older members as they smell like an old folks home! :P
Trespass sweet the urge, give me my sin again.

Hi Jez - welcome aboard - enjoy - sorry to hear about the tyre, happened to me 3 weeks ago also...3 inch rivet straight through the rear. Total bummer - anyway you'll be back aboard your new purchase soon enough :-)
