Nice Surprise's
After a really bad run of luck in recent months things have finally turned and I'm having some good luck / surprises, well for now anyway, hope I haven't jinxed it
Bought the ZX10R and got an absolutely storming deal, almost too good to be true.
Was then chuffed to bits when I got charged less than I expected for the courier costs.
Was then chuffed even more when it arrived and had brand new tyres fitted as at 2000 miles on the clock I was expecting part worn original tyres.
I was then chuffed again when I took it out on Sunday and found it had a full to the brim tank of fuel in it, £20 in my pocket happy days.
I was then super chuffed today when transferring the factory Kawasaki warranty in to my name, I found out it had been extended by 2 years by the previous owner and was fully transferable. I was only expecting 7 months warranty and end up with 31 months full factory warranty.
To say I'm happy is an understatement and hopefully things have turned for the better now.

@Dale - Don't I know it, I can sense the misery coming already Its so unusal for me to have good luck as I normally have no luck or bad luck

Enjoy the feeling, as it doesn't happen often, but remember it too when something bad happens just as a balance

Re: Nice Surprise's
Sounds like you found a really good dealership mate, really happy that the whole experience has been a big positive.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Re: Nice Surprise's
Good news, Blade.
I guess you haven't had the log book back yet though showing the previous owner as a 'Mr T Sykes c/o Kawasaki Racing Corps'.

Re: Nice Surprise's
Cheers everyone
So unusual for me to have good luck I just had to tell someone, but I know that's my lot and already getting ready for the bad karma

Re: Nice Surprise's
Only just seen this Blade. Sounds great. The warranty extension is a very good string of luck. Surprised someone extended it to get rid of it! Very strange but great news for you lol!

Re: Nice Surprise's
Yes does seem strange Rossgo mate but I learnt many years ago not to look a gift horse in the mouth and when to not ask too many questions
I have the certificate confirming warranty till Sept 2017 and thats all I need and want, so happy days

Re: Nice Surprise's
Really glad for you Blade, like you I had a reall run of bad luck, but 2014 has seen it change round to far more positive karma, mind you it did hit rock bottom at one point, so as mentioned above when it's at one end of the scale it's only got one direction to go.
That bling budget is looking very healthy right now by the sounds of it!

Re: Nice Surprise's
Cheers Deegee. Yes bling budget is doing well and on target for well over 2k and I would have never got that if I left the kit on the bike so mighty chuffed.
