No engine coolant

Post by slr123 » Wed Aug 05, 2009 5:46 pm

My bike was stolen on sunday and recovered today, few scrapes but nothing major, only thing is the engine coolant leaked out before it was stolen, it was recovered less than 5 miles away, so will the engine be ok or is it going to be buggered?

I think you should be ok. Would take more then five miles to get the engine to the sort of temp that you would need the coolant. Unless whoever nicked it had been on a hundred mile run and was on the way to bring it back.. lol.

Got the bike back today, turns out its been ridden 15k, had reset the journey counter before it was nicked, its at the garage atm, n theyre gonna look at it next week to see the damage. Either way im selling it, the amount of trouble its caused, im just gonna buy a new one.

If you can logically find a way for a NC30 to travel 15'000 Miles in 3 days, Then I will give you a £1'000'000.

Does that answer your question. LOL

Id like to see you organise it first of course, this includes finding contacts to send it, arranging the sending of it, the flight time, the time at customs clearance at each end, and of course the time in which the aeroplane will have to land to take on more fuel.

Think you can do that in three days? As a Pikey theiving scumbag??

NO no No you can't Claim the £1,000,000
if the bike was stuck on a plane and flown 15k you would only have the distance to/from the airport on the clocks not the mileage the aircraft had flown? :whistle:
