too many hobbies eh...
I've got about 9 bikes in my garage at the moment - and was seriously tempted by the supermono for sale on here. No idea where it would go, or
where I'd get the cash. Bikes a disease which is fun too - like maybe clamidiya.

I used to have one of those Suzuki T500 bikes... bloody awful!
At the time I was doing about 400 miles a week, commuting into London. I was lucky if a chain lasted 2 months, even if I kept them well lubricated (I
used that hot chain lube every 2 weeks). I used good-quality chain too - Reynolds, I think.
The biggest problem was that the rear swinging arm pivot was too far away from the rear sprocket - every time you hit a bump part of the chain would
get stretched.
Oh yes - parts of the alternator used to burn out periodically, too.

Funny isn't it? I have only good memories of mine, had the first one 2 years, raced every weekend in the season and it was my only means of
transport, 4 trips to the IOM and no problems at all.
Second one I had 18 months, that was a tuned race bike, but I went to the IOM twice on it. No problems with that one either.

It's ok, the moment has past, everything is under control. However, is there a market for stroppy 17 year old sons?

Stroppy 17 - year old sons?
HA! Benn there, done that, know EXACTLY what you mean.....
Mine aren't quite as stroppy now, being 31, 30 and 26...... but....they still have their moments.
You have my sympathy, Yard and a bit.
