Back to the Metisse Henry Cole is/was riding in SA
The next (now last, as in previous) episode revealed the tops of both rear shocks had broken off!
No reason for the breakage was forthcoming, but apparently it happend/was found, when the bike wasn't being ridden - not sure I quite understand
Oil leaks - this was stated as being a crack in the frame (oil in frame machine). ahem! I thought this was a bike that had recently been built........
Seems the 'old' Triumph motor wasn't to blame for the oil leaks after all, bless it.
