Grom again......

Post by Snev »

So about 6 weeks ago I took it back as the engine was broken...... just emailed to see what is happeng and apparently it needs a new Cylinder and piston plus a Big Clutch kit, bearing in mind it was all brand new and I only managed to ride 5 miles !!!! That's 5 miles in 12 months :(
Ok, I confess.......

If only it was that easy though............ I Bought it from Bransons in Yeovil..... Took it to JHS in Keynsham ..... They did what i wanted and .... I'm a trusting sort........ trusting that they will make it all good, just like we would if we ever messed up a Kitchen, not that we ever have in nearly 20 years and some 8000 jobs...... If you asked If I'd do it again though, It would be a big fat No Fecking Way.................... If I wanted to piss them off...... I really could.....

It was a risky adventure, right from the start, but if someone says they can do the job then I believe them.
If you hadn't had it done you'd be richer, but the idea would still be niggling in your head.
Ask me how I know. Although I think I've told the Harley story before, people were still talking about it at a bike meet I went to on Tuesday night and I'm still not sorry I went for having it made into a torque monster. It was epic!!!!!!! :D
It would be nice if you can get it back in less than a year though.......

Bee, Your Harley was before my time on MCN I think...... I've heard you mention it but I never really knew what you had done to it...... For me it's not so much about the money, it's more about getting something a bit special..... I hope they get it to that point sometime soon.
