What's the song that plays in the background half way through

[danielradu]

What's the song that first plays? I'm not refering to Nothing but trouble. It's a different song.

Nothing But Trouble by Christian Marsac

Greetings from Wellingborough.

I have a 2008 NT700V ABS and I commute to London every day (77 miles each way) and from the last month or so it has been losing power, it has a few other small mechanical issues but I need to resolve the lack of speed power first. I took it to my local mechanic and he does not know the cause. He has changed the spark plugs, caps and one of the HT leads.

A while back I told him that I might get another bike since my current bike has already done 147k with me and I have to suspect that they might want me to buy a bike from them. This is just my speculation.

I am doing 55 mph and even the lorry drivers get annoyed with me because they find it strange to overtake a motorbike in lane 1. I have commuted in heavy rain, ice and even snow. This bike does not look pretty but it is my workhorse.

I would like to know if there is someone here that might be able to fault find the problem.

I work nights (21:00 till 06:00) and I could travel to their location but I would need to be able to return with the bike in the afternoon since the bike is my only way to get to work in London.

I could do 2 visits:
1 For trouble shooting, finding parts that needs replacing then put the bike back. Ordering the parts.
2 Once parts have arrived I can set another visit to replace them and do final check.

I am willing to pay a bonus if the bike is fixed that that second day.

I would be grateful for any help.

Beautiful bike except the white socks and office shoes don't really complete the look lol
