Decided to spend the Christmas and New Year period in Mallorca with the family and thought it would be an ideal opportunity to have the bike serviced (10k), have some warranty work carried out and take in some fantastic roads. So the accommodation and ferry tickets were booked, car was duly packed with luggage and the dog, panniers removed, final checks carried out and off we went.
So far so good. Weather fantastic and not too much traffic this time of year.
Dropped the bike off at the dealers for the service and as the lower fork legs were being replaced under warranty took the opportunity to have them drop in the Matris fork springs, all good until I received THE phone call. While removing one of the left hand spark plugs it broke in half dropping into the cylinder which necessitated removing cylinder etc, unfortunately they do not keep any of the gaskets in stock and of course as its a holiday period and the parts have to come from Italy the don't envisage having this resolved for another two weeks!!!!!!!!! Looks like I will be travelling home by car.
