Drip, drip ,drip. It's a just little humid up this way today. I took the old ST out for a ride this morning and noticed it rode like a kangaroo on the way home . I blew a seal .... no zoological context , just the rear shocker . Mumble . mumble .

Gidday Sibbo. Is this the mystery shock you were asking about a while back?
I guess it's time to go in there or invest in a new one. The mob over at ADV > Old's Cool > Airheads will most likely have some recommendations. Best of luck with it.

That's the one , it turned out to be a Marzocchi off a Ducati, I'll pull it off tomorrow and take it into the bike shop and ask them to send it back to the nice gentlemen who didn't do it right the first time . It's only done a 1000 km !
