Been a browser on these forums for a little while now...

Just thougth I'd get signed up and say hi!

Also tried to attach some pics of my bike, I passed my test July of last year and threw myself onto a ZX6R and I love it. Didn't get the best of the summer but looking forward to this year. It's still standard. Just got new 1 piece leathers and crash bungs are next before the mods. Hoping to get a Blueflame can by March.

Also, any riders from up north (Central Scotland) I'm up for bike meets. Got a few mates with bikes but due to small 'offs' last year both them and there bikes ain't ready to go yet and it gets lonely out myself!!

Cheers all...

mchaggis How rude, should be ashamed of yourself

Consider yourself at the 'naughty wall' now.

Welcome fellow kawasaki owner, allthough My kawasaki is nowhere near as impressive as that!

Cheers, but it's only a standard well kept bike!

And Kwaks really only come in Green! Very Happy

Just for a point of referance, when I say "Ninja Green" this is the colour i'm on about. First bike I was ever up close to was an all-green Ninja Thumbs Up

Hello cc123, good to have another "central scotlander" on board Wink

Request permission for acess to the scottish board from "proximacore" as thats where we arrange ride-outs. Although, I've not been on one as of yet nor have I met any ofhte scottish clan, but I'm sure they're all relatively sane.

I'm in the centre of glasgow myself, close to the ducati shop Smile

Up for a run anytime, I ride in pretty much any weather as long as my er5 can cope.

cheers

greg

P.S Do you work in the centre of glasgow at all?

cc123 · Geez a joab? Joined: 17 Jan 2005 Karma :

instigator: Nope, I'm in Blantyre and stay out Lanark way. I'm up for a run out anytime too (mostly) but the weather is abit shocking tonight! (Snowing right now!!!!)

I've already e-mailed proximacore about getting access to that part of the site. Would like to start going to meets etc as I'm quite new to all this. What kind of bike you riding out of interest?

Mines ain't exactly all green but I think the purple breaks it up nice, and when the sun catchs it, it's very seeeexual looking!! I don't mind other colours but Kwaks are really supposed to be green and thats it... (altho a 2003/4 model in blue is nice!)

Nice bike - welcome to the ZX6R club Thumbs Up

Mine's yellow by the way - screams like a demented wasp!

Anybody know if the crash bungs need any fairing mods?

instigator · Super Spammer Joined: 19 Oct 2004 Karma :

I ride the attachedd. An er5. Slightly modified with the undertray, k&n filter and remus exhaust but apart from that, its boringly normal Wink

Great for town work and going down to see the paretns every fortnight. Blantyre is only 15 miles away from me and theres also "fallen angel" another member who lives just up the road from me. Although not to sure when Fran, fallen angel will have her bike(s) fixed. Hopefully soon Thumbs Up

About the snow, yeah I got caught out in that !!! Sad

Weatherproof gear is dripping itself dry as we speak. Once we get into spring, theres a good 8 or 10 at the least who would be up for a BCF meet I reckon Smile

That's a nice bike! Welcome Very Happy

saints7: If you buy R&G ones I think you don't need to modify the fairing, thats what I'm going for, £95 I think direct from R&G..Yup, and I love the way the Kwak screams at full throttle!!

instigator: I'd be up for a meet/ride-out anytime but hopefully in better weather conditions as it sucks right now. I also run Avon AV49&50 tyres which don't cope well with damp patches! Hopefully I'll get access to the Scottish sections and see when the meetups are as it's something I think I would enjoy, getting to know fellow bikers and riding on roads I've not yet tried...

Thanks inspire: Very Happy

the red, blue and yellow ones are nice colours, you have more time to see them. Laughing

green ones are faster!

no offence! Thumbs Up

My kwakers purple!? Nothing wrong with one that Isn't green. Cool

Stu_666 · Brolly Dolly Joined: 27 Jun 2004 Karma :

welcome

That's a f*cking nice bike you've got there and I want one so badly! Perhaps you'd consider a straight swap for my RS125? Laughing

Puke green is the only colour to have though.

Tasty bike. Thumbs Up

What made you jump on on a 600 sports bike straight afer your test? Not a bit intimidating?

Can I be nosey and ask where you bought the bike? I'm in Glasgow and most of the bike shops I've been to haven't impressed me that much. Edinburgh on Saturday for my first bike (maybe).

cc123 · Geez a joab? Joined: 17 Jan 2005 Karma :

I wanted something that I wasn't going to get sick of or grow out of too quick. I love Ninja's and my mate has a 99' model so seeing him on one made me want one!!

The bike is far better than I'll ever be but it's the easiest bike I've ridden so far. As long as you ain't a clown on it and be careful, it won't bite!

As for performance, well, it's all I need right now and then some. I've had a quick blast on an R1 and I find that stupid fast Shocked

I got the bike from a guy in Sheffield. Travelled down from near Glasgow to buy it. It was standard and below average miles. From the photo he sent, it was mint. It was standing in his garage doing nothing for months as he'd bought a new-ish R6 and couldn't get anyone to even come out and look at it. I got a real bargain as he was moving house that week!

My mate rode it back in the pi55ing rain.

All it needed was road tax and an overhaul on the front brakes as it had been sitting for a wee while. Great bike, had no problems with it and I'm a very happy chappy!!
