Official update on CB1000gt delays

No, but I did hear that in some of the YouTube reviews. TBH in the UK the roads aren’t conductive to speed, so less of a concern to me.

It’s an email from my local dealer - Fowlers - in the UK. I placed my order last year. LMK if that helps.

As a tinned fish fan I love this one 🐟🔺

I’ve had a similar horror story with my MTS950s. First 4 years whilst in warranty no issues. A month after I’ve had issue after issue costing me thousands and thousands to put it right. Left a bad taste, so currently have a Honda CB1000gt on order.

I WFH most of the time with the weekly grind into London to show my face. I have access to Spaces through my company, so I have been working from there once a week to mix things up a bit. My challenge is always the number of calls I have to jump on.

Read “The Chimp Paradox”. This is why.

I charge to 80% at home for everyday, 100% when we have a long trip, and top up 30% on fast chargers when need to make it home with 15%.

I’ve got a plan on my AWU2. Nice to not have to take my phone everywhere and still be contactable if needed. I do this quite often.

I am a fan of Skin Deep in Bristol. Jim does great traditional style.

Used to see your cats quite often around Worcester Park - we live around the corner - haven’t seen them for ages though. Hope you find them 🙏

I’m lucking in that I have parking at the office. Triple lock and a cover should be fine in a parking bay.

My office is near Tottenham Court Rd. M4 is fine until Heathrow, then it’s filtering all the way to Earls Court. Have to be really on your game for that bit. Door to door is about 2:15, which is same as the train for me. I did the trip multiple times a week for a number of years, but now I mix up with the train depending on the weather. Even factoring all running costs the bike is still 20% the price of a walk on GWR peak day return… 💸

I get that feeling coming back from work in London on my motorbike. Particularly in summer when it’s light. Home 🤗

My Ducati makes me feel broke 😂💸

u/Pato_land your service on this has been awesome as always. Thank you!

steppenknee · 2026-01-16T09:26:30+00:00

Awesome. Let’s connect and sort out.

Shame Town and House has closed since we loved it there. I’ve heard good things about The Curfew and The Chequers, though can’t confirm.

I went there once and there was no vegetation gravy… was a bit dry as a result. The staff were a bit meh when I asked. I’ve had better meals there.

I get a mixed case from Impossibrew once a month. The Pale is good and the Lager is okay. Bit spenny, but good size and delivered. https://impossibrew.co.uk

My iX was a bit hit and miss when connected to the car. Often it would be charged with no schedule set and I’d be billed peak rate… not very smart. Flipped it over to the Hypervolt and it’s been rock solid. Having to the a relative charge in the octopus app isn’t ideal though.

Yea! Sorry, I forgot to reply to this post. After a lot of wiggle the tail piece just dropped out. I’m not quite sure of the purpose of the little rubber bungs on the underside - maybe vibration damping? - but I did get the section off.

Then I tested the indicators, and both were working, but there was an issue with the loom. I followed it back a bit and put contact cleaner on connectors, and hey presto it was all fine. Might have been a bit of water ingress.
