As some of you may know ive been after a second Girly, not a hard task I know as they are in abundance on the internet, but finding the right one takes patience and time, I looked at a couple but felt they were not for me, everyday id search for newly listed bikes on various websites but nothing stood out,
that is until I was servicing the Outfit and prepping it for some Austrian snow adventures, I changed the plugs and found the coil packs had split again!! :icon_evil: so I thought im going to have to buy replacements now :icon_frown:
looking through the crap on ebay I saw listed an 07 engine for £300, a reg/rec for £25 a loom for £30 and an ECU for £40 and eventually a set of mint coils for £38,needless to say I bought the lot!....you never know right? :augie
Then I saw an 04 Girly that had spoke wheels so I thought id have a look, well, long story short I got a lift to Leicester and rode it home, 04 Girly in black,panniers,centre stand,heated grips all mots with mileages absolutely mint and under 10k!! :bug_eye for £2600 :thumbsup Kerrching!!, to cap it all off I won a stainless sports can on ebay for £43 inc postage, the only fly in the ointment was today when the only key I have snapped in the pannier mount :icon_cry: ,these btw if I can get them are for sale as too is the triumph screen on it

Ummm........damn it!, no, im not in the habit of being so lucky :icon_rolleyes:,
I now need to find out how to remove the panniers without a key................any ideas anyone?
I think BB is your man for advice there :nod
That's a lot of motorbike for 2600!!! I'd load the bike on/in to what ever take it to a lock smith.
PS I do hope you not going to put that mint bike in one of those poxy lock up garage :icon_evil:

If most of the key broke off you'll be able to turn it with a screwdriver. If it was only part of the key. put the rest into the lock and help it turn with a screwdriver.
I have a locksmith's tool for extracting broken keys when asked. Without it things are a little more difficul, but a GOOD pair of needle nosed tweezers and the pointy end of a scriber will do nearly as well. And patience, obviously. :icon_lol:
Thanks mate,
i'll give that a go when I get back from Germany/Austria :icon_wink:
nice looking stead there boyo, :thumbsup
Enjoy your trip
