No-one hurt. Sorry to hear that. It's a shedload of hassle to have to sort out. The one time someone nicked my bike I at least had the satisfaction of seeing them go headfirst into a tree trying to get away from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Frog Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Back end stripped ready to get swinging arm coated black like the previous one. Spent a long time considering if this was the right move. Later arm from injection model not sold in the UK but I want to get back to the way it was before. cheers Ian 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie man Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I paid for the bars on their website via pay pal - I received a 35 Euro refund from Pay pal this morning, not sure why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Rode out to Chipping Camden to pick up something for my wife. Reminded myself of how much I enjoy Fish Hill. Possibly over-egged it a bit but was still good fun. Then probably got caught my camera van on bridge over M5 near Tewkesbury. Annoying as hell especially as I was being a bit too enthusiastic again. A nervous couple of weeks awaits me. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
