I WON

[andym]

OK so I'll lose a few man points.... If I ever had any in the first place.

After this didn't sell on ebay for the asking price, I got it for £100 less. And I know the frame is twisted and the chain is slack....

...See:

She'd been lying under a cover for fuck knows how long, so I gave her a quick wash before taking these pictures.... I honestly thought she was a he and mud coloured with a few patches of black.... honest

And next to her big brother... who's looking a bit worse for wear at the moment (no lighting in the lock up sorry):

Fetching shade of early 90's pink. Lovely.

I do miss my CBR so....

[Ste]

£550 before anyone asks.

[Polarbear]

I love those old psychadelic colour schemes. My old ZZR1100 was blue, black and pink!

Nice buy

I miss my CBR steely.

I may have to steal yours.

[chickenstrip]

Oooh, suit you sir!

At least they only had one bright colour in stock when that particular fight occurred in the paint shop.

Your bike appears to have crashed into MC Hammer at some point. Nice.

[gorillaonabik...]

Had an identical one back in the day - same year, same colour scheme - everything. And they are just the perfect bike.

Miss it. The colour scheme went beautifully with my bright yellow lid which was covered in lightning stripes. Fortunately no pictures exist....

I was thinking of a matching pink jacket

I was seriously considering taking the pink off it tbh

[Shaft]

I had a tracksuit in those colours at some point in the 80s.

I would leave that as it is, I bet you won't often see another one.

I'm guessing one previous lady owner.
New clutch.

Should make it fairly theft proof though.

£550, 142.9mph... I'm sort of seeing why Nanny Brussels is so butthurt over bike licensing.

Don't see many in that colour scheme.

Should be SMIDSY proof anyway!

Looks like you got yourself a fine bargain there.

[andym]

And so it begins..... yesterday I decided to clean all the crap off the chain and found there was about 10-15 of the rollers had seized (although the links still moved freely), with a good splash of white spirit and persuasion about 9 of them are now moving as freely as the rest, but the rest are refusing to budge.

I checked today and they are still seized, so I've given them another going over with the white spirit, but don't thing that will be enough to free these ones.

So the question is if I used some needle nosed mole grips to hold them firmly (not crush them) and some penetrating spray would it help free them up?

I should point out that the chain and sprockets appear to be fairly new so I don't want to splashing out X amount on a new set just yet, also I don't want to be taking the chain off just yet either.





Also when I was mucking about on the bike today I met the lady biker that has the lock up next to mine (I'd heard there was a lady had a bike in 1, but didn't realise it would be that close).... ended up chatting for about 20 minutes... as you do

[pepperami]

sheeesh! with a paint job that loud , do you have to wear ear-defenders when you`re out and about on it?
