Bought a playmate for the Cayman

[glencooley]

Bought a friend to keep the Cayman company in isolation......been 15 years since I have been on one.

Very nice.

I bet bikes have changed in 15 years.

Keep the traction control on.

Nice one, I hired a van and travelled 200 miles to buy myself one today and my bank decided to lock my account when trying to pay for it due to suspected fraud, 6 hours later managed to get in touch with the bank, by that time I had to leave it and come home empty handed, waste of a day and £250.

They have come on ALONG way from when I rode, and my last bike was a 600cc 2003 this is a 1000cc 2018 super bike. Eeeeek!

Oh man that seriously sucks!



Are you gonna go back and get it another day?

Mate, fuming isn’t the word, I dunno it’s then the cost of a van again and fuel etc, I may just buy a new one and have it delivered, hard work at the minute with most dealers still being shut.

Or I may tax the Gt3 and forget the idea?? Choices choices

Give Dobles a call, just had a bike delivered from them.

They are very busy at the moment.

[glencooley]

I bought mine from a dealer, it’s a couple of years old but all online, they threw delivery in (£1 per mile one way from Newport to Cambridge) so was easier as it just showed up yesterday.

Why not look at getting it delivered (unless it’s a private buy obviously) AND taxing the GT

Pound for pound probably easier and cheaper than hiring a van and spending your own time....in a van

[GT4P]

That's changed a lot since the urban tiger

And they want us to move to a cashless society...

[glencooley]

Went to drive the cayman today and one of the brand new PSCups at the front was down to 14psi.

They have less than 100 miles on them.

Gutted.

[GT4P]

Might be worth checking the valve, when I had my 987 spyder I had a slow that turned out to be the inside of the valve was a fraction loose you tighten with a small plastic tool

I became fully aware that I am now a cautious middle aged bloke - I would take the mini-digger over the sports bike!

I need to get my 20s self into a time machine to come and have a serious word with me.

[glencooley]

It’s my wife that owns the mini digger and construction company!

[C. Grimsley]

How you getting on with the bike, had some great weather for it? I got mine delivered today.

Yay, Carl

[glencooley]

I’m absolutely loving it.

Managed to get out for a few mid sized rides on the weekend and evenings.

Blown away a few of the cobwebs and rustiness.

Yesterday was a killer in my leathers though, all black zipped 2 piece suit but I forgot to take the liner out so I absolutely got home soaked. Was a struggle to get the legs out, so much so I had to get the wife to help will I laid on the kitchen floor....

I’ve ordered some new levers as I don’t like the feel of them and they are really quite long.

Have you managed to get a few miles on yours today???

[glencooley]

Broke the break lever yesterday putting it back in the garage....

Annoying, but silver lining is that new ASV levers are on their way now.

Just no riding for the weekend now.

grrrrrrrr

[Spenny64]

My Cayman mate.

[glencooley]

Oh my that is a good looking piece of British engineering!
