    Sounds like Arthur has got you really sorted out Martin. Glad to hear the bike is back up and running, and even better than before by the sounds of it.

    Yea I've spoke to him a few times on the phone. He has nothing but time for a gab, even though he is a busy man.

    Well what can I say that hasn’t already been said. Arthur, you are a top, top bloke. Most of us are going to burn when our time comes, you my friend deserve to hand pick your 40 virgins. But in the mean time you have me as a customer when my bike is out of warranty, assuming I don’t swop it this year.

    I can't believe there haven't been any sunny days...

    Sigh... I hate riding to work in the rain... Although my new Weise leathers are nice and waterproof...

    You're lucky to have someone like Arthur there, Martin.

    You guys are copping some weather according to our news. Summer wont die here, 36deg tomorrow, too hot for riding with ATTG on.
    We are looking foreward to some cooler weather, you can have the snow though.

    Glad this has all turned out OK, Martin. Was gutted for you when I saw your bike on the back of the trailer so early in the year.

    As for Art.....what can I say that hasn't already been said. Absolute legend. The forum's damned lucky to have you, sir.

    If it starts rattling and its a Honda then its 99% chance its the CCTs, I had two firestorms and the second one got manual CCTs, your right they eat themselves alive when they let go, luckily CBR600/900 you get a nasty sounds and a bit of time to repair them, which is also an easy job.

    Remal it would be well worth the trip mate, I reckon it would take you around 1hr 20mins to get there.

    Amazing the help I have had mate, Arthur came to my house worked on it there then picked it up and fixed it for a really really good price, filled my head with knowledge etc.
    Plus had loads of advice and offers of help from so many other members I can't even remember the names of!

    Put it this way without the forum she would be sat in the garage for at least a year collecting dust and I would have another year off 2 wheels

    Your all great :D
