You know when you walk into a room and you’ve already forgotten what it was you walked into the room for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well this isn’t that story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier in lockdown the ZX10-R was due it’s annual service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I bought her – exactly four years ago – from Leicester Kawasaki. They’ve looked after the bike since day one. They even did the repair after the unfortunate incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So last month, when lockdown restrictions had eased a little, I went on the Leicester Kawasaki website, took their number, called them up, asked for service, and booked a slot for the following Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I arrived at Leicester Kawasaki 15 minutes early but there was a problem. The showroom was shut up, there was no stock on display, and a big sign on the window said Leicester Kawasaki had moved to Croft Motorcycles in Hinckley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dash all the way over to Hinckley via the M1 and a bunch more roads, happened. And the Ninja was duly serviced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I picked her up I asked the guy when Leicester Kawasaki closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
