Is an ol Transalp really cheap

[phil w]

Well after approx 6 weeks of ownership my cheap grand TA has cost me a pretty penny, at a time where I dont really need to be spending or rather haemorraging money
So the £1000 bike is now
£100 front and rear TKC80s
£90 chain and sprockets
£25 oil and filter
£20 air filter
£13 fork gaitors
£27 battery
£6 spark plugs
£33 renthal bars
£10 grips
£70 MRA screen
£130 Excel wheel rim
£60 re lacing rim and new spokes
£25 brake parts
£100 labour on brakes and bits
So a total of £709 on top wasnt so cheap after all

Just don't tell Deb You could of had mine for £1500 if you asked nice

[btbloke]

worth every penny mate,most of that would have cost twice as much for mine,and the pleasure you're going to get is money well spent.
Look at it as an investment in reliability when you see all the beemers and ktm's at the side of the road in france and spain on the way to humm.

Phil, that list is mostly service item's / consumable's that should be done before a big trip anyway, . . . gives peace of mind.

[SENSAI]

[phil w]

Well to top it off the exhaust is holed and generally poor so I just said feck it and ordered from B&C an Arrow to make it sound nice
