My monster FatBoy went back to the shop on Thursday night after I gave the dealer a piece of my mind (yes I know there ain’t much to go round, but i am a giving chappie) after the brake reservoir sealant had apparently perished creating a leak, dripping brake fluid all over the rear brake reservoir. The dealer despatched a driver from Preston to come to our humble abode to collect it and repair it, and so they should.
Since the brake fluid had dripped, it had removed the paint off the rear unit as well. The bike had apparently been through a 99 point check before I got it, so that wasn’t one of the points then, I asked. A rather apologetic dealer owner greeted me and Mrs Fogg this morning when we drove to Chesterfield to pick it back up. Here you go sir, your new 99 point check that HAS been carried out for definite this time. Time for some freebies methinks (valet kit, new chrome footplates since the existing ones have peeled and a nice discount off cleaning stuff).
Then it was the 75 mile trek back on country lanes with my very own Safety car as protection.
So yes, The Hog is back, time to get that cherished plate.
