and I'm having a right problem finding a new drive belt - can anyone advise? If I order from the USA, I might end up paying extra tax, has anyone had to get one here?
It was cold and snowy today, but I set off on the bike anyhow, cos I didn't fancy the bus and I didn't know how bad it was out there, well, it was like a skating rink and I fell off about 150yds from home after touching the rear brake - lucky I haven't seen any damage at all really apart from the drive belt snapped - strange but true, I don't know if it picked up a stone and that did it or what, but its busted alright - I had to leave the bike a the pub there all day, cos the road was so slippy there was no way to push it back up to my house, lucky it was better tonight, so I got my beast back home! Grr, what a day tho - must have been raving mad to go out on it, (or lazy!) but there you go!
I done 20K miles on my belt, so I'm thinking if it was weak, maybe its a good thing I was only dong 2mph when it went, dunno if the cold makes them brittle - its weird that this happened the way it did - any ideas on who might supply a belt before I ring round 2moro - i hear OEM are overpriced, some say Harley are the boys for this, but isn't every fookin thing over priced in the UK??
