Having just bought one, and going through a few Facebook groups, I have noticed that the majority of AT riders are, eh....vastly more experienced in life than I am!!!
Clearly old before my time

His son doesn’t look very impressed...he’s probably saying something like ‘you’re too young for that style of bike Dad’

That’s pretty typical Aussie off-roading, bloody dust, rocks and gumtrees. I’ve done plenty of trailriding and mtb here in Aussie but the terrain is much better back home.
I like how he rides it like he stole it. He’d be buggered after a day on that big beast.

I've booked the bike in for an inspection this Saturday afternoon so they can have a look at the wheels. It has to be a reaction to something as it's gotten worse despite me not having used it for ages.

Sutton have filed a warranty request. They'll call me when Honda reply. They reckon it'll take about 90 minutes to swap the wheels.

1hr and 30 mins.... Are they literally giving new rims only and rebuilding the wheels?
At least is warranty covered

wheels off, tyres off, tubes out, discs off, bearings out, sprocket off, reverse process.
So yes, Honda just send new rims. Did you think I was getting new tyres, sprocket and brakes as well?
