Year ago I had the front brake calliper come off The Riot, twice actually (wife/insurance pay out?)!:blink:
One of these incidents the calliper bounced off the road and hit the USD f/fork by the oil seal. For years I’ve not changed the weeping seals cause of the dent in the fork leg. Just before the Apr 29th Brands Hatch gig the seals let go big and I had puddles on my garage floor. At the 11th hour a hero of a mate changed one seal and did his best to stem the flow of the dented leg.
After Brands it was off to All Bikes Engineering to see if the dent can be pushed back and the seal changed. As suspected, the metal spilt!!!:pinch: now the fork is going off to the welders to see if it can be repaired?:ermm:
Fleabay will be the next option. I may need to organise some nation wide vigils. Candles burning/ribbons on tree, that sorta sh1t?
Steve, this is really no laughing matter. No Riot, my life will never be the same, the BCR will never be the same…what am I talking about? Motorcycling the nation over may never be the same again… I may even hang up my leathers:crying:…I cant be sure that they wont get up of there own accord tho?
Damn, I thought I had issues with being too attached to my bike but you’re a whole new level! If I was religious I’d pray for it but as I’m not, I’m open to suggestions
This aint a bike? This is The Riot! The BCR simble of all things fun on a bike! Its priceless cause its worthless. It excites the rider with its failings. The Riot cannot be ridden 200yds with making the whole world seem a better place! You have no religion, but this is your gift from above. Motorcycling manner, thats what The Riot is!
Whats the name of that miracle healer the american who makes blind people see again and people in wheelchairs walk again… we need to take it to one of those miracle conventions… AMEN
