1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I might have a 750cc Kwaka by tonight, in mad bastard racing green... failing that there are a couple on FleaBay I'm watching.
The two wheeled terror is about to return 8-)
Got a new lid, new leathers, odds and sods. My tax return FINALLY turned up after 8 months!
The question is how long will my licence last? ;D ;D ;D

I can't help thinking that this is not the ideal time of year to get a motorbike. :-/

Best time actually Doug, the prices slump and I can pick up a bargain. Also my ride to work is not twisty so I can get well dialed in before spring 8-)

Congrats. I hope you have fun with it. I still have my Honda GT647 Hawk. Didn't ride it this year. But don't want to sell it either.
