Triple whoops

blimey only just turned up !!

I literally thought about this yesterday ( too much time at work bored) and wondered if I'd missed the delivery. Great it's finally here, sh*t it's taken so long and has damage!!!. I suppose the haulage company just see it as freight and not someone's pride and joy. What's the plan mate?

Glad it's finally turned up! I can't believe it's taken so long.

It took longer in the us as part of the deal was i wanted it a serviced and running machine, it's twenty years old and is zero mile and had never been started, they found with it siting for so long that it needed a new ecu and had to source one, it cost them $2500 which they covered to be fair to them and all this took a few months and then it sat in us customs waiting for them to do the paperwork for weeks, it then got shipped here and the shipping company had screwed up the quote and it ended up costing me a significant amount extra in import duties, weeks of arguing went by but basically they have you by the short and curlies as you sign the machines over to them for shipping incase you don't pay the required duties to hmrc so i was basically screwed, whilst this was going on the bike is sitting in there warehouse getting filthy and damaged. Shippio can well and truly go f**k themselves in the future and the cheeky b******s asked if i would change the bad review i had put on trust pilot.

It’s not going to get used a lot but it is going to get the cables stretched, when you turn the ignition on the injectors go through a setup motion and wind up and down, it’s trick to look at in a geeky way.

Yes I was talking to Griff about it, it’s called anti dumping tax and the shipping company royally f####d up on the quote, I nearly sent the bike back to the us because of it but either way I was going to get screwed with charges so I might as well end up with a really trick bike, it somewhat soured it though.

I had told the shipping company to send it back and they told me they would send the paperwork through the next day, it took them five weeks to send it and in that time I managed to raise the funds to keep it, the day I was emailing them to tell them I’d keep it they sent the paperwork through for the export back to the us, when they delivered it it was absolutely filthy and has a couple of scratches, this company has a stand at the bonhams Stafford auction advertising a world class service, I haven’t seen anything of this yet, I think I was chosen as last year’s victim for all the bad luck.

At small throttle opening it helps to stop the fuel hitting the butterfly and forming large droplets.

Stunning bit of kit buddy 

A couple of options on the tips and I’m going for the cranked tip.
