been a while since i've been on here

just a little update whats happened over the past year...

first was the aprilia rs50

with the addition of a zxr400 project bike

then beginning-ish of 2009 got the rs125, which when i got it was filthy so stripped it and tidied it up with a tail tidy and exhaust hanger from evo-tech and got the wheels re-powdercoated in white (fancied a change from the 50)

some pics of the tidy up

https://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t131/maximus2312/Photo-0045.jpg

rode it for a few months, did a top end rebuild, passed my test, sold the rs50 and the zxr400 project after losing interest

then part exchanged the 125 for this

Motorcycles are perfectly safe as long as you remember they're dangerous.

Hmm, I work 38 hours a week on top of full time college and I still cant afford a zx6. Maybe I do need to stop buying so many sneakers.

actually i finished college about a year ago,

full time work now, i just got good at saving and could still afford to go out twice a week to get leathered lol

so i got the rs125 for 1650 then chopped it in for the zx6r which was up for sale at £2,300. straight swap
