Subject: Rims


Hi all,
Don't talk to me about corroded rims! I bought my @ RD07 new in late summer
'93, by Jan. '94 my rear 'gold' rim was 'shagged' and the front was pitted.
Honda UK refused to replace them under warranty as they said I hadn't looked
after them properly over the winter, bollocks! I had owned a Transalp and 2
@'s before this one with no problem whatsoever. My dealer told me that this
was a problem with a lot of that years batch of @'s. Shortly after the @
came out with plain alloy rims, suspicious? me?
I resolved the problem buy buying 2 wheels from a breaker called Speck Moto
Pieces in France while I was living in Paris. I've not had the same problem
with these wheels and they've been on for nearly 3 years. You win some, you
lose some.
Well that's my moan over with

Take care

DavId Jones

PS. Spotted a nice Black and Grey Transalp in SuperMoto trim yesterday,
parked in Fulham. Just thought I'd mention it! Also had a test on the
Varadero, great engine (wish the @ had it), shite plastic looks though (in
my opinion). All round I prefer the @.
