I've been keeping a record and i have spent £1200 on parts on top of the cost of the bike to get it to where i want it, although there is still the LED headlight, that might be a Christmas present to myself maybe LOL It’s surprising how it mounts up isn’t it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevy trucks are pretty well dominant around here...anybody that knows anything...still the easiest truck to work on...it's just still a simple design...you can still swap out the plugs in 15 min flat....some take hours like the Ford wich notoriously breacks the sparkplug in the head....I'm no longer doing them at the shop..waste of time and money. They all have there little twerks... Chevys have had some oil pump issues. Ford are just garbage...Twin turbo car engines basically...most serious repairs the cab of the truck has to be removed...just a awful design...you definitely don't want to keep it after the warranty runs out. Dodge Rams..a pig on gaz...manifold studs always breaking in the heads...we must do one of at least once a week...and the rust like crazy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe these pickup trucks are just to large for big cities and the price of them alone and having them converted to right hand side drive would be ridiculous....think they probably pull out for just lack of sales including there line up of cars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They withdrew all their models, never (in this area ) seen a big Chevrolet pick up on the road, seen many when I delivered to the USAF airbases 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Had a couple of hours out on the bike this morning, stayed local and made the most of the fabulous roads along the coast and up and over the mountains. Having made a few tweeks to the bike for my trip I thought I’d better check it was okay…….no dramas. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
