Decided to take the bike across to Scarborough for the "cock of the north " race today , went like a dream until we queued up to get in then someone tapped me on the shoulder and pointed underneath the bike , coolant everywhere My first thought was the bike was overheating but on closer inspection I found one of the hoses had popped off just glad it went whilst i was waiting to get in to the track and not when I was riding there , Cant see 2 litres + of hot water all over the back tyre doing much for grip halfway through a bend tbh .

Look on the bright side Paul - could of been MUCH worse easily. Hope you got the bike sorted ok?

On a 16 year old bike that hasnt been used for 12 months you expect these things but i would have been pretty annoyed in your position Nat on a bike that new , Hope you gave the dealer a good b*ll*cking .
