I love it.

It needs a bit of work doing on it.

Arrow the rear subframe has corroded, so my dad is going to take it to work and get it hammerited and painted

Arrow one of the fairing brackets has broken, and another simply isnt there, so i need to get one fabricated

Arrow needs a bloody good clean in the nooks and crannies

It has got new stainless downpipes and an art can, and it sounds beeeeauuuuttiful!!!!

I dont care about the neighbours Keith. its my dad who cares, unless its his bike which is making the noise.

If its mine, he comes out and tells me to shut it up..GRRR

Aye, looks good that does. Thought you sold the Rs125 though as you were going in the army, or am I thinking of someone else Rolling Eyes Quite tempted to sell mine on as they're not too great with top end speed etc.

Alot less than i wanted for it. it went for £2k. I could have got more for it i think, but, the CBR was for sale for a few days before i got it, and i wanted to snap it up really quick.

Ah, was just wondering if you had to pay any extra towards the Blade after you sold the RS.

Big Thumbs up!



Thumbs Up Very Happy Thumbs Up


Good choice, it looks very tidy to be honest. I can understand you wanting her perfect though and if you have to wait until the end of the month then you may as well go and buy those toothbrushes now and get cleaning \o/

My bike's spoilt. It gets it's own toothbrush. Wink

(Partly what comes of having so many siblings.)
