OK so where is it?
« on: March 21, 2011, 08:36:12 AM »
Ordered front sprocket and initially seemed a quick response but now it's the 22nd March so where is it?

You gotta keep in mind that it's being shipped from one day in the past, so not only does it have to travel to the other side and bottom of the planet, but it also has to travel through time itself to get to you folks who live in the future.  You should be happy if it even makes it to you in a state of atomic cohesion! ;D

Doesn't seem to have moved in 4 days?
I know we are a day ahead so I won't count today.

Mind you, once I was waiting for a part and the courier had just thrown it into my garden, I found it by complete accident, I guess he thought he was hiding it from my dodgy neighbours. ;)

Someone needs to make up an interactive map of the world that shows real-time tracking of Hush's sprocket.  Sort of like how they do on the nightly news on Christmas eve to show where Santa's sleigh is.  This is going to be the most watched and most highly anticipated motorcycle sprocket transcontinental journey in the history of MANKIND!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Front sprocket Tipper, 17 tooth instead of my present 16 tooth, unfortunately Karate training got in the way of getting it fitted tonight so tomorrow it shall be applied and tested to see if there is a marked difference. ;D
