That doesn't sound too good, does it?

You know when Ali reads this he's going to wince with every line, don't you? It will be more painful for him than hearing about all the bones he's broken in his body

Funny, I though it sounded a bit rough!

Hope the new one is a bit more bullet proof. I can give it a bit of a tune up if you like, I appear to be something of a master........

Have fun rebuilding, I expect great things next year.

I have a feeling she's gone to a better place. Somewhere where oil isn't re-used, where chains are visible through the lube, where bearings aren't left starved of oil, and where there's more petrol in the tank than diesel.....

Tis' true I destroy bikes and the competition....

She's currently in lots of pieces with the good engine having a service while the frame's off having a little repair done and being powder coated Don't think you'll recognise it next year

Wow, Ali is going to be a real tiger to contend with next year on a sorted 620Sport!

Hopefully you'll have you back sorted out soon Grib, I wish I had the mechanical knowledge that Tony appears to have!
