Lots of reflections,sorry should've taken them outside without the flash.
Got her home no probs apart from trouble getting neutral,spoken to Derek already hopefully just air or clutch lever adjusted in too close to bars...also its(the clutch) as heavy as foook !
Needs a damn good clean,previous owner certainly looked after it mechanically(@@@@ load of paperwork) but i think it just got a look at a bucket of water very occasionally...frame is pretty clean just general grime around the mechanicals.

Bike has fallen off the stand at some point,around the front blinker has been painted,reasonable job but i might try and get it done better through the winter(always worry about trying to match reds:confused: )
Also noticed it has mismatched bloody tyres,comparing it to the CBR600 I reckon it requires more effort to get it through tighter corners,hope its just the odd tyres...its setup pretty stiff at the front ???I will leave it until i sort tyres.....pirelli diablo on rear and a mich on the front,can i get a matching pirelli for the front only ?

Been out again tonight,gets plenty of attention anyway,fookin luvin it.Time for :beer: whilst just sitting looking at it.

P.S. sick to feck already of explaining the rattle is supposed to be there,f*ckin peasants eh:D
 
Looks in good nick Colin,

(also its(the clutch) as heavy as foook !) :D yip its a bit heavy,you'll get used to it mate, Had the same problem when i first got mine

The bike is quite slow to turn in,in a way i like it,makes you work at it ,once its on its side is very stable and forgiven

the front is a bit stiff, (that's how they like it though;) :D ) especially on bumpy roads, :thumbs: :beer:
 
Mafioso noticed whilst leafing through the paperwork my front studs were replaced a couple of years ago:D (touches wood frantically) sorry had a few beers;) hows your repairs going Matey

The bl@@dy studs were meant to be here today,you know! after all you do pay for a "next day delivery" or maybe they mean the next day after the next day, which basically means any day to them, got the O rings etc already, bike stripped off all the bodywork,oil pipes, cables etc are all disconnected so tomorrow i'll be removing the engine etc, in good spirits though, bring it on :D :D of for a wee :beer: noo mate (pop roond if you want to gi us a hand :D )

that'll match the right then eh :eek: (been developing that since i was about 13:whistle: )





whoops.....bit smutty for Sunday:p
 
fair price......think its a good alround comprimise :confused:
What I'm trying to say is I maybe could have travelled 300 miles and got a shinier one(not saying mine isn't)...that had maybe not turned a wheel in over 2 years sat pride of place in someones garage or even house and not been serviced/belts etc ,mine has been regularly used,belts done 900 miles ago,2 other receipts for previous belt changes,rectifier,coil packs etc etc just been done,loads of docs for general servicing etc..but to be fair you can tell its been used regularly,just general grime around the sprocket that kind of thing.Pretty pleased so far.
