...after buying it, it's in pieces in the garage:

Is that a record?

It's a strange experience - attacking a brand new 'bike with a hacksaw Confused

It does look like part of the TARDIS in there, doesn't it? Smile

Don't panic - I was just fitting a screen. The hacksaw was needed for some minor adjustments.

Photos to follow...

Lol not quite as extreme as i assumed.

3 days after i got my beloved cbr me and an enthusiastic but somewhat retarded friend removed my restrictors.

Which involved taking off tank, airbox, carbs etc.

That was fun Neutral

You know when you get halfway through and just want to stop as its getting too tense... Nothing like a mate with no feeling invested in the bike to be there to really yank parts for you Thumbs Up

Pah, before I had even started my 675 I had broken the screen, hot wired it and smashed the tank cap up Razz.

What's your plans for it, anything interesting involving mud/sand/snow?

Probably. It's huge compared to my other orange 'bike, so I want to get the hang of it before taking it too far off road, but yes, she will be getting dirty.

Actually, that's my garage and my forgetfulness, it wasn't my intention for those things to happen Neutral.
