15K Service

Took my SV to Redcar in Leicester again yesterday for it's 15k service. Although I had 16705 on the clock.

I explained to them that I have had to top up my clutch res twice since the 11K service. They stated that my slave cylinder might be dirty and need replacing.

I received the stonking GS500E courtesy bike, and spent most of yesterday carrying Stacey around on it, as we had to collect Simons Ashes and Stacey had to attend a hospital appointment.

So later on during the day, I got a text from Redcar stating that they would be keeping the bike overnight as they had to order in a Clutch Slave Cylinder.

After that I took Stacey to the Bike night at Donington Park yes on the GS500E.

So today, I received another text to say that my bike was ready and the final bill was £408.37p

So on the way there along the A606, I was overtaken by two GSX-R's and they stopped at the lights.

I filtered through the traffic and pulled level with them.... Now I was on a GS500E. Guess who won the traffic light race !!!

Yep. I left them, and it took them nearly half a mile to catch up with me where they had to over take me on double whites !!!
