FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!
Whilst trying to strap a jacket on the aback of the CBX (in gear on my hill,
on it's little bitty sidestand., It fell over. Leaving a broken lever and
left mirror. Now I'm not saying it's not my fault. But, I have dropped a
lot of bilks in my day, a lot harder than this one, even on black ice, with
little or no damage. Levers and stuff are one day away from being replaced
on a 50 year old British bike . The BSA has a problem with cosmetics, as
the R75 only carried that "rocket" style for a couple of years. Still,
levers, mirrors, etc., no problem. With the Harleys, Buells and Beamers, you
can get anything you want, again, within a day or two..
Junk Japanese shit. No NOS spares either.
The fucking search goes on. Like I didn't have enough to do.
I didn't get to ride the Crest to Newcombs for dinner, Cat is pissed off at
me and so am I. She, of all people, knew the sidestand was junk and the bike
was going to tip. I just wanted to put my jacket on it, as it was 90 degrees
here.
Man am I pissed, It was a question between my fully bagged, ready to go,
Buell and the Honda, but the Honda was in the driveway and sounded so sweet.
I am really beginning to like that bike.
Fucking Japanese crap! None of my other bikes would have fallen over with
the bike in gear on it's sidestand. The Honda's sidestand, apparently, is so
tiny, the bike just fell over it.
PISSES ME OFF!

levers are also. But I could be wrong yet again. ;^) OBTW you do have
the exact same brakes and master cylender and forks and who knows what
else as a GL1000.

I find this incredibly hard to believe. Especially when they're freely
alailable this side of the pond.
Why is US spares supply for old Jap bikes such crap? Is it really crap,
or is it just people moaning because they an't be arsed to look?
Inquiring minds need to know.
