This is about when a dealer lends you a courtesy bike.
When I had my Z1000SX in for servicing they lent me a Versy 1000 , great bike bags of go in it.
The next time it was having some warranty work done again then lent me a Versy, I rode it up the road went round a round about and took it back to them. This is crap I says, whats up with it? sounds and feels as if it is off a cylinder no go in it. He then mentioned the fact it was the 650 twin they had let me have. Fecking red face or what.
Another one was, I fancied a run on a Suzuki 700 something or other a 4 cylinder thing anyway.
He wheeled it out of the showroom started it up for me and away I go, take your time he says just bring her back when you feel like it. Headed up to the Ponderosa in North Wales. Stops for a brew. Gets back on will not start, funny everything seemed alright. Gave them a ring asks if they ever had any bother with the bike, no they say, stay on the phone and talk me through what appears on the console etc!, okay he says I can hear it doing the initaial checks, now pull the clutch in, press the starter, fecking thing started. Red face time again I did not know it is a Suzuki thing.
Glad I did not call for recovery
