    Hi Claw and welcome to the Madhouse.

    There's plenty of bods in South Wales - a few of them will be along just as soon as they've had their tea, I suspect.

    Oh, and there'll be a request (more like a demand really) for photos of your steed. You have been warned!

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    Hi Claw Yep I gave up a cb1300 for a TA 12months back. Not to say the 1300 wasn't a good bike (arm chair bolted to a missile) but my knees are knackered and it was a heavy bike. I find the TA a lot more fun and very rideable. fatmal

    Hello and welcome to the forum, Claw.
    There are quite a few Ta owners in Wales, one ex TA rider will be on soon asking ( Demanding a photo or two of your steed. )
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
