BladeTot - Charlie Bravo Romeo 929er - practical mods

[The Tot]

Yes,

Blade TOT has finally arrived! But BladeTOT is scared because 120bhp on Avon Azaros on an icey drive is NOT a good thing!

So here's the pictures instead.

SOUND CHECK

so w00t.

Big_Ham, you can suck my shaft! My bike's bigger than yours.. and i managed to put my photos on before YOU did lol. Hope you get your 636 OK


Sorry... n00b question to any 929 owners. Why does my steering lock NOT engage. The bars are to the left at the lockstop. I put the key into the barrel, give the bars a wiggle but the lock won't engage! Any pointers!?

I need to sort out clutch biting point.. or simply get on the fucking bike when the weather is slightly nicer!

No 636 for me today.

Just got back from the bike shop, they said they're not u sing their van because of the ice. When the weather clears they'll van it down.

Outside their shop is well iced up and they don't want to drop my bike between there and the van, or when getting it into the back of the van.

How on earth can you afford that whilst at uni? I am experiencing jealousy in the most extreme form! Whilst I love being at uni, I can't wait to finish so I can afford to buy things.

All the best, Joe

That's lovely Titz,nice colour too,steering lock might need a bit of WD-40 or penetrating fluid,they can get a bit sticky,have you tried wiggling the key up and down as you are doing it?

Dont worry, ill hate ham even more if he gets a 636, as im getting one next...

Have you tried moving the bars back from full lock just a tad?

EDIT:You said you wiggled the bars so probably yes.

Congratulations to you both (in an effort to stop swearing as i seem to have lost my gold blob), Titz wont be able to cain it, especially when he puts dunlops on, and i will have a 636 at the end of the year, might get a 750 though...

Nice Bike(s), /shakes head and walks away from thread...

Thank you.. I wouldn't want to be like i'm riding a commuter lol.

I don't want to use a disklock because i'd forget and ride off and fall on my arse. I've already had that happen in the back yard when my bike wouldn't move! So i've got to remind myself now!

I've tried all sorts with the steering lock!

I'm probably going to only ride it when it's dry LOL. I'm getting in a fitness frenzy and think that it'll be healthier if i run to uni instead of taking the bike for short journeys since it knackers it!

No doubt, dunlop roadsmarts are being put on now. I've looked at how square the rear tyre is and that Avon's don't really inspire confidence in anybody.

I factored in the cost of tyres and consumables when i bought the bike.

I've got an LED rear light cluster on it, alarm and HID's to be put on soon.

Frickin' sweet bike!

[The Tot]

[400bandit]

You are quite right though, I'm really tempted to use my over draft and but a firestorm or TLS, not sure what I would get for my bike as is, I might clean it up (again) in the summer and sell it on, use overdraft to make up the rest, I never use my overdraft any how and its about £1400 I think?

There's alot of people like that at my uni too but not as bad as some (are you at Edinburgh?) makes me laugh and as you mentioned, it feels good to have a bike that sounds like hell riding around campus.

All the best, Joe

Nah Joe,

Used to be in edinburgh, but back in Loughborough - I am officially hearalded as the only student bum to own a superbike at uni. When i was in 2nd year, there as a guy that had an SP1.. THAT sounded the clappers! But yeah, i'm not on first name basis with campus security purely because of how i used to ride my ZX6R at full chat.. But it's fun though.

You've actually gone and bought a Honda....I thought you were joking

Looks to be a fair example, Blades pre 04 tend to stand the test of time pretty well. Nice one.

Put some clothes on though, you'll catch cold.
