A lucky cricket!

Was your ride home like this?

No but I have a friend in Vietnam who does this regularly on her 125

Yes I know, "How Much" is the Yorkshire war cry.

Yeah understand, my shout of disappointment had a few more war cry expletives. Nice bike right mileage but really for a 7 year old bike? I'll probably be weighing mine in for scrap at the end but I only started at 5500.  11k is a serious investment.

That is too way high. At £11k you should expect:
- 2014-2015
- Motorsport level of equipment
- 8-10k miles

I know, I looked very hard for mine.

That bike is too old, and mileage should be lower for £11k.

This is much better value, I'd say - younger, cheaper, 1 less owner, & closer to you!:

Its missing the pannier rails compared to the blue one, but that's about it.

However, if you're looking for a halfway house, my 'spare' K1300S is on eBay, and could do with another bid:

I sincerely hope it makes a bit more than that, though.  :o :o :o

Flight ams to brs delayed from 1920 to 0120. Why do I bother? And Easyjet offer €4.50 for every 2 hours. Beer is 6.50 a pint.

Drink Scotch, it's probably cheaper in duty free...

Why was it delayed? Are you entitled to compensation? I actually managed to get a couple of hundred out of Easyjet a while ago for a delayed flight. Worth a go if it's the airlines's fault, rather than weather etc.

Easy jet claim in (thank you for the assistance people)

Rebuilt clutch ordered from John Sykes, just watching while he haggles on eBay with a Lithuanian over the price of a second-hand K13 clutch to modify and rebuild. Should be with me in time for my week off in October when I bring the bike back over and Ocean have agreed they will install it for me.

EasyJet say they are going to pay me £223.68 which is English for 250 euros, thank you very much Stevel, beers and pies on me when ever we meet  :)

And the second-hand clutch has just been bought by Mr Sykes for £165 inc delivery.

And I just got wet for the first time in months, caught out by a cloudburst halfway to work. Drying out in air conditioned office. That has to be the longest period of sustained dry riding I have ever experienced

But then again, EasyJet said they were going to get you to Brizzle on time... ;D

Result on both counts. Apart from the getting wet bit.

And Holland joins that exclusive club of authorities to issue me with a ticket. Unmarked again. Fine in the post...
