Hi guys,my card is behind the bar and there's drinks all round,so what're you all having? got a bit of a gripe on just now :smt013 so i'll just pile on in if you'll excuse me, what would you be thinking if you ordered a new streetmoto beginning of february,paid for it the beginning of march believing that you would have it mid march,then only to be told possibly the end of march(1000S held up the line) and here we are nearly the middle of april and still no sign of the bloody thing,MuZ.de don't reply to e-mails,they contacted my dealer to say i'd been in touch but where's me bloody bike? sorry this is probably overlong and a bit moany but i'm right pissed off , spring is in the air and the sun is coming out to play (which can be a rare occurence in england) the missus has her new bike but i don't :cry: right rant over, another pint has been poured by my good lady and awaits my attention :D catch ya later,gaz

Hi bigzed,
Talk to BSA-Regal . They are the main UK agents for MZ in the UK, have a web site, emails to mz@bsa-regal.co.uk Neil Henley is the guy who answers my emails for parts to replace ones I've broken, he may be able to help you.
Which dealer is it ?

Yo Brian!
The G force can is on! and its so bloody loud I've put a Db killer in it already. It sounds like a Kalashnikov, which is cool for five minutes and then made my head rattle and sets off incipient tinnitus. Throttle response is a bit livelier too :lol: . New Renthal bars after a minor greasy roudabout dropping incident restyled the old ones to an unridable shape. New smart led tail light installed. Nearly 10 000 miles on the clock.
Pics will be posted as soon as my friend with the digital camera emails them to me.

Loud is good !! we'll make a yank outa ya yet.

"incipient tinnitus" is that like limpcockitus ?? :smt044

Maybe you shouldn't have so many black cans when you go for a ride.... or did you just want an excuse to put on the renthals, If you lay her down again turn the bars in and bugger up the front fender :smt082

Very weak retort for such a witty individual such as yourself...... :-D
I was referencing my Acerbis Handguards as in the picture I posted... I will be mounting axle sliders as well to work with the handgurds....
my new Diablos go on soon and I have ordered front blinkers to flush mount onto the handguards.... next is a Cyclops headlight set.... then paint all to match... my Eibach progressive rate springs are still in the dam box ! Hopefully after all is done I will be able to kick our esteemed moderater in the arse in the twisties...... :smt030

looking good Brian,frozen ,have you seen the busters catalogue that came with M.C.N this week ? they got copy acerbis H/light and hand guards well cheap don't know about quality but they look the part,the missus has had the catalogue away to work with her but i think it's http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk , can't bloody wait for this bike but the missus has just got her varadero 125 and running it in so i'll have company for the duration.Is it 400miles to the first service then ?
My only worry about the baggy is the height(yikes) as my chop had a seat height of about 26 or so inches just hope i don't get dizzy and fall off :lol: .Later gaz
