Grouch Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Now my bike is back on the road and mechanically sound I think we should have a little competition for a bit of fun. All you have to do is try and predict the next thing to get 'grouched'. It could take days or even months for something to happen so get guessing.

jimmy Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Steering head bearings. Well done grouch for keeping a happy head on mate. I also think you should patent the term 'grouched®' and charge us all £1 whenever we use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted April 5, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 5, 2013 Somthing infuriating but simple. Clutch cable i recon esp as its been through a winter. Although i think i have caught groucho's luck lately. Happy to pass it on. Generosity and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
