Leaky. 11/27/2006

I just got Bikebike II back from the shop, where she’s had to spend the last 2 days. Somehow, I had managed to put a hole in the radiator. The first that I noticed was when I went to the mall down the road form my place, to get some movie tickets. When I returned, I noticed a puddle of flourescent green fluid under Bikebike.

Since there was only place that fluid could have come from, discretion dictated that I do something about it quickly. I rode her to ES’ shop, where I asked him to have a look at her. He peered closely at the radiator, and showed me a fluid trail where the fluid was leaking. I winced. This wasn’t going to be cheap.

A few phone calls later, ES confirmed my worst fears. A new radiator was going to cost a bomb. The literal arm and leg. I sighed, and told him to proceed. Only to be told that the radiator would only be available on Monday. I asked him exactly what a new radiator was going to cost me, and when he told me, I winced. This small little aluminium construction was more expensive than the radiator for the truck, which I had changed recently. Like four times as much.

I could only curse, and swallow the cost. Motorcycles are going to be the death of me yet.

Lisa : Yes, I did sell Bikebike II. But her current owner is letting me use her until some personal documentation is sorted out.
