Today not being able to use the bike got to me, stuck in traffic, was really depressing two bikes in the garage and cant use em Sad
But i have to look on the brightside i suppose, its only a week - hopefully the z will be sorted on friday and yet another relish from my ins comp, they said i can have the option to ride any bike(obviously 33bhp Rolling Eyes ) on my tpft policy.
Now im left with the decision - to keep or not to keep the divvy Confused

Very very true mate! Ive had 2 in the garage neither being taxed or ready to ride for nearly 2years now! Shocked

Im a lazy bastard at times, and there isn't much to do to get my zx6r back on the road. It needs a battery, oil+filter change, coolant & brake fluid change, and all the bodywork re-fitting. Less than a days work really, but i can find loads of reasons why not to do it yet!

The kmx was supposed to have been fully re-built and supermoto'd by now. It's only got as far as being partly dismantled and stored in bits though. ive got the cash to sort it out, and i think now it's going to be my winter project, even though i could do with having it sorted well before then!

I just hope i don't buy an old car to repair or work on now, as i'd be in even more trouble with 3 non running vehicles then!

After blowing up the ZXR, it was a while before I thought about getting another bike.

When I see the FZR on ebay, I was like a kid on speed and rushed to see it, buy it and then crash it. That bike was off the road and in pieces for 2 months exactly. It pissed me off no end seeing the bike on stands and not being able to ride it. The thing that annoyed me the most was that when I finally admitted defeated and had it trailered to a workshop, they took 2 weeks to fix it. Garages and mechanics are slow, it sucks Thumbs Down

Today i got a camera so just the bike to be fixed and pray for good weather Laughing
Its ok for bike videos, 3mpixel mpeg 4, does up to 5mp stills with flash, 640x480 resolution, sd, lack of moving parts great for the bike. Ex display so a steal for £70
Now next step - Order r&g's to mount it on.
How do people fix their camcorders? Gaffa tape, some sorta velcro?
Suggestions welcome Exclamation
Hopefully, fingers cross by next friday it will all be sorted Dance!
Just got to sell the divvy, student loans been accepted too Mr. Green

You can buy a proper tank mounting bracket.

Or were you looking for the cheap option? Wink
