beef Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 i could estimate a money value but i think i will go with the age old currency of ' a ripping out of wallet through anal cavity, and an expensive lesson'.. but seriously i would be thinking some where in region of £500 depending on labour..£150ish for parts. £240 for labour (8hours @£30) plus a little for the not running side of things...

welshwan Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 i sincerely hope its nothing as high of a price as these lot are saying, i have changed my wheels over, that took less then 40 mins, we have changed the rear bearing TWICE! that was about 30 mins job each time (bear in mind there were two of us). changed front disk that took about 3/4 of an hour as the caliper was being awkward. Bulbs 15 mins job, at most. Really hope they don't take the piss on this one man. If they ask stupid money can one just tell em to fuck off, and see them in court?. how the fuck can they justify 500 for these jobs you need doing? fingers crossed man!. Do your fucking test grouch! you can get ANY bike you want after! im not old enough for a full license, but once you get yours done .....ANY BIKE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouch Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 I think we should get a collection going to help me in my time of need. Seriously though I am starting to regret not doing the bulk of the work myself, but lesson learned. No McDonalds, Subways, Nando's, scratch cards, alcohol, or other luxuries for a month or so. Funny because I'm dying to get stuck in and get my hands dirty now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouch Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have a basic set of tools that I get by with, but I don't have a workshop. My girlfriend has a garage with electric, but she lives 11 miles away. I am thinking of commandeering that because she doesn't use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only joking, I'd never get a divorce, don't think I'll ever marry. The social norm is changing nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 To get married you will be in debt, its just like having a girlfriend bar the fact you have a bit of paper saying YOU GOT MUGGED FOR £3000 FOR THIS BIT OF PAPER. Your now married. Upon Divorce your better half gets half of what you own Every thing and you get to pay a monthly installment to the ex-wife charity. All joking a side, im happy with being married, just the flipping price of it all! took me n the wife 8 years till we decided to tie the knot but you get other folk who get married after being with there partners 3 weeks!!! Back on topic tho, hows the bike going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 I think nowadays the majority of people get married for the wrong reasons i.e. being the centre of attention for the day and trying to better the last persons wedding. A big F off do resulting in tens of thousands of pounds of debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preload Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 DONT let them change anything on the bike until the motor is sorted & running right, otherwise its money down the drain as the bike will be just a pile of spares without a decent motor..
