Just a bit of a sensitive point at times - it's the most openly friendly and helpful forum I've come across, and aims for the max regarding support, as Wicky and others have said, so it just gets frustrating, not knowing whether it's relevant to chip in or not if you don't know where the guy needing help is located.
Anyhow, enough before we get into all that again...

1) Hence the point CatsBum tried to make - but no matter.
Back to topic...
2) PM'd this recommended combo. a few days ago, after talking with wicky, dandy and emmett.
3) No news yet, though - still uncertainty? How are things, Mechinha?

I don't think it was a question of 'don't want to say'. If so he/she can put down 'Third planet from the sun' or
'In front of my computer' in 'location'. Then we know he/she wants his/her privacy.
I, personnaly, assumed he had just not gotten around to it.
Location can help, if someone has 'Anytown, England' down a carpedian can tell him/her that there is a good/bad mechanic just 2 miles away so they know to go/avoid them. Same with model.... sometimes questions get asked and carpedians can't help because they don't know if it's a Mk1, Mk2, Mk2a, or a 900.
Peace and Love,

my love is back...untill so far it runs great. should i or the mechs adjust something in particular? since the tubes are knew. i haven't had the time or the "guts" to take her for a long walk (i'm paranoic with the rich and sparkls thing) but next weekend we will make a long ride for sure..and all this because of your help and most of all your wisdom. celticbiker, pict and all of you who did help me - i'm in debt with you guys 
any time that you wish something from this part of my country i'll try to manage it.( dust ask for money) i will try to put some photos from my region. we have beautiful landscapes and who knows maybe someday you can make a "trip" untill portugal.i will keep on touch

Difficult to tell from the pics. Those marks do look weird! Only way to find out for sure is to ride the thing.
