The forum software was upgraded today from v2.1.4 to v2.1.7
most of the fixes were purely security fixes, plugging any potential holes.
if you do spot any problems please let me know

hello all

I have had notification from the hosting provider that the server that mcnninjas.co.uk is hosted on is being migrated on the 7th nov.
while this is happening the site will be down for a few hours.

I know the security on the new servers is much stricter which could mean some code that happily runs on current server, may not on on the new one!
I will just have to address these if/when they occur.

regards

komp

Having been away from the old ninja for around 2 years, I found I missed the old girl, so started looking for a gen 4 with euros in mind, then noticed the gen 5 was the all singing all dancing version with all the electronics and wizardry, so opted for the gen 5. The plan is to tick off a fewew more boxes with some more euro trips if all the stars align. Does anyone still do them.... 🫣

pics?

bike is finally home
dropped off about 12
 

they have finally located a replacement immobilizer
they hope to get back to me early next week
we will see

confirmed immobilizer, but now they are out of stock!
they are going to try and get one sent from factory or take one from another new bike
if they cant get something sorted by tuesday will sort me a loaner
not a good start

well i am expecting a definitive answer today and some details of when likely to get back
but when i spoke to mechanic yesterday he confirmed something major electrical had failed
his best bet at the time was the immobilizer!

still waiting for it to be picked up
they sent a normal AA van yesterday and guy couldnt really help, we did try his booster pack on the battery but still dead
recovery truck is now due this morning at some point, let hope they send me the right vehicle today

well less than 100miles on the clock and bike no longer starts
no sign of life at all
currently in process of arranging for collection
not a happy bunny

picked up the beast yesterday
very cold and dark ride home.. roll on the summer! 

i never made it to the triumph dealer.

As the KTM dealer came back to me with better deals for both the SMT and the RS
so after a test ride yesterday I put a deposit down on a new superduke 1290 GT
after everything i looked at it was probably the bike that ticked the most boxes

in 2/3 weeks ill have a little early xmas present 

Quote from: Jarse on October 31, 2023, 04:38:09 PMI see Triumph have just announced an updated 900 with 13% more power and other enhancements.

yes i also saw this.. they must have heard me
i plan to pop along to nearest triumph dealer tomorrow

i actually almost did a deal on a superduke 1290 GT, but the trade in my RS was insulting

i do quite like the look of the 900GT Aragon edition
but not sure if 95bhp will give me smiles i am looking for

perhaps i should give them a call, wouldnt hurt to give em a spin

there are so many electrical gadgets now on these bikes it is little wonder
the ktm had so many options to configure it is a bit overwhelming

took out a couple of other bikes this weekend
first the new bmw gs1300
this was a lovely bike, exactly the size of machine i was after, lovely build quality and a dream to ride, the least lively of the bikes i have ridden, but that was probably to be expected. just a shame it is brand new so no deals available, and would be looking at around £18.5k to get version with the kit i would like

then later that day took out the new 1290 adventure R
i think out of all of them this had the most fun engine, very capable machine and couldn't believe the kit you get for just over £15k (they have a 2k discount at the mo) but i think i now know that a full blown adventure bike is not what i am after.

so either need to look at something else, maybe a bit older, or just sit and wait until have a bit more of a budget.
