I really like kawasaki...
I've not met Mrs Duck, but if she's built like that maybe I can start to understand why he puts up with what he does.

I now know he has not got a "tingtongthai triumph" but that looks like it could be a "tingtongthai bride"?
Nope!
It was just an example of what's available for very little money.
Since posting that Ebay advert for the ER5. I've found some cracking Yamaha Fazer 600's & Suzuki Bandit 600's.
All for similar money to the Kawasaki.
Or there's this but I'd say it's £1200-£1500 worth. Not £2000 worth.

I can't see there being a huge queue of punters at his showroom door.
Just looked at their advert, but they don't specify if it's a three or five door model.

Knowing what I do about triumph sprint st gen 1 now....I would never pay more than £500 for one and it would be bought purely as a its only going to be a short term thing with a definite cut off point of a couple of hundred quid to correct anything amiss and then if I could not sell it back for what I paid for it.Then I would at least have to be able to retrieve my pennies by breaking it up for spares...Nope!

Its been a massive learning curve for me which as been enjoyable but way more expensive than I thought in more ways than one...I will not specifically look for another triumph bike..
I'm definitely going jap kawasaki is looking favourite for my next bike....
Ooh and I do know that the advertised bike is a gen two but to be fair they ain't much better than a gen 1 as I understand it...

I have to say @BAD LUCK DUCK your troubles really show up the perils of modern fuel injected and computer controlled bikes. So many more things to go wrong. I am definitely off-loading my 2014 THAIumph Bonneville and will quite possibly be replacing it with something from the nineties with carburettors and the minimum of electronic doohickeys.

New bar end weights got delivered today.
Now to get my neighbour to machine one down a bit so I can get a brake guard on it and then have it as a replacement for the one already on my Daytona 955i so I can do trackdays this year.
It's current bars are blocked at the end so noraml brake guards weren't an option and I cba to replace them.
If this works out, it'll be an A+ bodge/creative solution

Do you know how much snow we have had in the glen of Loch Goil, Northern Cowal?
You can count the individual flakes on the fingers of one hand!

It is truly remarkable, I was flicking around the traffic cameras on the Traffic Scotland website and it seems that there is at least a moderate covering of snow just about everywhere in Scotland outside my glen but here we have had a few fitful bursts of teeny tiny flakes. Yes it has been snowing plenty up on the tops of the 'Arrochar Alps' and there is snow on the Rest and Be Thankful but here we have nothing but blue skies, sunshine and ice.

Gotta disagree, I don't live in England but I do live in Britain. That's the proper name for the Island we are all on and I am happy with it.

‘North Britain’ after the ‘45 when Scotland became a dirty word. The SNP have achieved that all over again.

So far today the cat as got the tank off drained the fuel by knocking the tank and Jerry can over and removed the fuel plate...Also a cat comes in handy as a neck warmer and makes a job that should have been done in no time last for nearly two hours...It's stringing the job out so it can charge for extra hour labour...That cat thinks I don't know what it's up to...
Oh yeah I took a couple of photos of the inside of the tank so @MartytheMartian Can see what to expect from resealing is tank...
Now I just gotta remove old fuel pump put new Japanese one in ( I guess I did say I was gonna go jap ) and hopefully that's the bike back on the road...
