wanna see my snake?
Sore point!
Got there about 3pm, bike looks lovely. Starts great, looks the part. Signed my paperwork, then took it for a quick spin round the block to get used to it. One think I wasn't quite aware of, is how damn big this bike is for a 125! However, even its size should not amount to me being unable to travel above 30. I put about 9kms on it (they said it was MPH, grrr!), and it felt wrong.
So I went back and the mechinic took it for a spin. Came back very confused, said it was like it was restricted, had absolutely no guts. He thinks there is a fuel issue, as it has been left standing a while. He was the one who test rode it originally, and said it felt nowt like that. He's stripping the carbs down tomorrow, wants to clean/rebuild them.
Which means I spent half my day travelling, came so close, but left without my shiny new toy. Gutted is not the word
