The 9 is in da house

Post by Phil »

yep, its back, looking a little better than when i saw it last to :wink:

big thanks to John and his crew at Mototech for looking after the weapon.

John did mention that when he sent one of his guys out to ride it yesterday to make sure it was all working ok, he came back after the ride and commented to John what a healthy beast it was and that it was a pleasure to ride. More importantly as John mentioned, he rides just about everything that goes thru the shop and seemed very impressed with the ol gurl.

The replacement rack is still to come, I'll fit it when it arrives. All bits of the rack are bent at some point so it will need a fully new one not the one L bracket that was originally quoted.

Tim rode it home for me and commented on how smooth it was and that he had no change for $1.60 toll :shock: on the way home :lol: :lol: he did mention it was very easy to find the money :wink: :wink:

Cant wait to get the beast out for a run, might have to go for a ride to work tomorrow :wink:
