Well last leg of my journey home from Hols. I got a call from the rack refurbishers Thursday to say the racks ready so fingers crossed its delivered tomorrow as agreed to start bolting it all back together. The down side is I'm night shift all week so lots of black coffee to stay awake when I get home from work.
Cannie wait to get it on the road again. Seems like ages since I was last of hoooooning aboot.

It's just arrived back, I'm about to open it
Oh, the excitement..


Ah

But bad news is I've just pulled the bill off the front of the box.. The repairer advised he couldn't tell me the final price while on the phone, but it won't be much more than the price talked about..!!!!!! But it was ready..

Ouuuuuuuch a fecking rooooonie. Nearly double the price quoted.. I'm sitting here bemused at the break down in what had to be done, when I specifically asked him what was done, what failed and more to the point what's the final bill..

Anyway, on into the garage I suppose... Slightly deflated only on the price....

Getting there..

Well, it's been a while now since I sent off my rack for a refurb. Then the wrong one was delivered lastweek..
Ohhhhhhh. The tears!

Today, the correct one, my one arrived back.. Ahhhhhhh. Great news after a mega panic... So Tuesday It should be (fingers n legs crossed) up and running... New upper steering nuckle, all the bushes and a refurbed rack.. Should steer nice now..
