Yeh I had a ride there, being as the weather was not too bad, CMC was packed......
It was like getting through a football crowd in the store, I gave up,.
And the queue for the cafe was long, so I left and had a steady ride home.
Got the KLR out cause it was so nice. Went to the beaches...lol...for extra credit spot the part from my 1990 sportster, Buck should be good at this game.
Did you see the end of the Abu Dhabi desert challenge?? (not actual dakar, my bad) No fuel stops in the final stage and the leaders started running out of fuel. Walkner ran out 25km short of the finish, Daniel Sanders pushed the bike through sand for the last two kilometres. Can you imagine the frustration.
Day on the XR tomorrow probably out on the Beta Sunday, After my mate having a go of mine last Sunday he's trading his CRF in tomorrow for one, which is good because after he hit a tree with mine i want to try that with his
Granby Motorcycles in Ilkeston were the biggest grey importers around here, my VFR was from them, it was a French import, speedo in kms, headlight dipped the wrong way.

From their posts on FB, it seems they are doing reasonable trade, saying they have 30/40 new (pre owned)bikes in stock.
But that could be them fiddling the figures as they have several shops.
Why's it had a new battery and rectifier at only 6 thou, new chain n sprockets.
Clocks off and ragged off road I'd guess, but I am a suspecting basted.
On paper they are better than the CRF but more expensive to buy not heard any bad reports about them if its been looked after will be a good bike. Not sure of the second hand value as i only look at bike prices when I'm buying
We kept a short notice list for people who could get to the hospital within an hour. If you can do that it’d be worth mentioning because most people are no shows or cancel appointments at the very last minute on the day
Makes it very difficult to use the appt for someone else. The short notice patients are like gold dust - no wasting of resources and operation dates etc.
