Jans Gladius
Hammy Thu 05 Dec 2013, 10:32 am
Went over on Tuesday and picked up Jans Gladius from the dealer. Pity she has to work so much and I can waggle the time to go and do stuff like that. 
. It's going like the clappers. Not sure exactly what that means, but anyway. Pulls 120 in second no probs with my weight on it. Not too shabby for a 650. It was lowered when Jan first bought it. An inch front & rear. That makes the bloody ugly cat' even easier to scrape. Even Jan has bottomed it. She is much lighter than me. Am seriously thinking of putting a set of these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261032235435?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 on. Has a nice little Scorpion can on it now. Baffle out, at request of owner. So I think it will improve the bike both in clearance and in looks and sound. Did I mention what a hoot of a bike it is to ride. So much fun. Such a nice gearbox and it tracks beautifully. If I was a jockey size guy 
, then that would be the only bike that I would need. Very underated. But so much fun.

It was well out of warranty, so no. But they did shave a hefty slice off of the first quote for the job.paul wrote:What happened at the dealers , did they come to the party with the problem ?

That's the plan. Jan gets the pipes. I get a new Yoshi.
