September 22, 201311 yr Author Hi guys, sorry I haven't been on for a while. I've just had my hours cut at work because we have lost a contract. As a result getting my XT sorted is not a priority at the moment. I am going to do her though but now its looking around xmas time. I'm just going to bite the bullet and take it to a garage to be fixed. I wish I hadn't of dismantled her in the first place. Hope your all well and I should be back on the road soon.
September 22, 201311 yr Hi Grouch, nice to have you back mate!!!! Good news about the bike, if you can't fix it then get someone else to do it for you is the best way. At least you have your Christmas present sorted early!!!!!! Don't be a stranger who else can we take the piss out of if you keep disappearing? We all hope you get it sorted soon.

September 23, 201311 yr Author Thanks guys. I must admit I've been really depressed about not having my bike. Every time is go out all I seem to see is 125 bikes flying about. I'll end up getting my bike sorted just in time for the snow haha. I'm not really bothered though just want a bike. I think a gathering at mine might be a good idea, I will have to speak to the Mrs.
