Well I sold my Husky several weeks ago, and started to work on my Elefant over the weekend to get it ready for the Stella Alpina trip next month but I doubt I'll be in the garage much anymore as Sunday evening whilst my son Luke was having a bath upstairs, my daughter Emma downstairs noticed water dripping from the lounge ceiling lights onto her head whilst she was combing her hair :!: So as Luke was trying to finish off washing himself in the bath I was pulling off the bath sidepanel to see whats happening - bath has a split/crack and leaking water out underneath and water ran through the floorboards and found an exit point below the lights downstairs!

f**k,s**t, a**e !

Thanks Ian - not :x but you know that the ensuite is in a worse state than the main bathroom (cause I hate diy and havn't fixed it), I can see our family taking showers at the local swimming pool for a few weeks to come :oops:

I suppose you could always buy an earlier Husky Glenn ? - you know the ones with the simple non adjustable forks............... :wink: - no , there's really no need to thank me for being so helpful ! :lol:

I think bathing and taking showers is probably unhealthy anyway :mrgreen:

Cant you use the water leaking from the bath as a shower? 2 people get washed at the same time then :)

Hi Todd - well I actually sorted the 05' Husky forks out by changing the fork oil to 5W and reducing the amount a little and they worked okay - much better than when we were out Thetford way, but there was alot of money (for me) tied up in that one bike, so i sold it to free up some cash .....

and I've since bought an older cheaper 00' Husky like I had last year :D which as Ian so helpfully pointed out :P has no adjustments of the forks and work fine.

Glad to hear my "help" is appreciated ! :mrgreen:

TBH my bathrooms are not too much better - but the shower was improved no end by sticking the tiles back up with No Nails ! :lol:
