No sooner have I won and paid deposit for an SRX400 (to be collected Thursday or the weekend), I find another problem with my forks!

Do you think monsters sulk?

Of course they do, they're Italian! You only have to see how temperamental Italian chefs etc are to realise they'll have a hissy fit at the merest slight.

I will have to think of a name for her, but she is going to be for commute / winter and hopefully to make my monster last - as at 10k a year she'll not be lasting much longer.
Hopefully the srx won't be coming to Belgium!

Not leaking but one of my preload(?) adjusters just spins and does not click or adjust ...

Looks a tidy little number, Ladybird. Where in the country did you find the SRX?

Coventry-ish, however due to potential pissing rain I may postpone collection until the weekend :( as rain is not the best introduction to a new bike...

Well, the 400 is doing well. (Apart from the speedo cable snapping and the gear change making a bid for freedom, both now fixed).
The monnie has gone from sulking to full on strop!
The clutch started slipping on Monday and Tuesday I didn't quite make it home by bike.
While waiting for the recovery van, the fuse blew for the indicators and the petrol light came on ...
I have now SORN'd her and been plotting the parts to swap over to the new monnie.

Yeah, but she's had a good innings. 49886 miles :)
I was waiting for her to roll over the 50k and then fall apart like a comedy clown car ....
