The big knock

[alexanderfoti]

I dont think im going to be able to make it this year, at least not on my diesel bike

DVLA are dragging their arses with the V5, still waiting on the engine change! I called them 2 weeks ago, and they said 2 weeks. Called them again today and its another 2 weeks!!

TAX and MOT need doing as well, cant do the tax without the taxation class being updated, or I pay more. Cant drive it to the MOT place without tax. ARgh

Its not done yet but 90% of the way there. Only things left are, drive belts and tensioner need to arrive. Rear brake lever needs attaching along with the footpegs.All fairing, headlights etc need re-attaching.

oh, and the front tyre needs changing!

Yea, Similar situation unfortunately. Got a list as long as your arm. Been living with the rally as a deadline for completion for 2 months now.
I'm going, but I'll be the petrol powered bike lurking in the corner of the field!!

[alexanderfoti]

Much the same as I have been doing, using the 1st as the deadline!

Oh well, there is always next year!

There's always Hamm.

Very true, maybe when I have some better mechanical skills :p Its a long way to go on something not very reilable (yet!)
