My uncle did all the work to pass its MOT as i was clueless i just watched but i didnt know i was learning at the same time , by the time hed finished all the work on weekends i was able to do it all myself. So thanks uncle
After a few months of riding and cleaning and tweaking lol i got the bike like this

BUT .... In summer 2005 i had quite a bad accident in a place called flockton in the middle of nowhere , some tight country roads an unexperienced rider going abit to fast came around a corner just to see a kurb... Bang i hit the kurb and then wake up in a filed with an old man peering over me . Out of the corner of my eye all i can see is the back end of my bike sticking out of a ditch , my first thoughts are , oh shit what happened .

I try to get up but cant my feet where a few inches away from a wall , i badly snapped my coller bone and it put me out of work for 3 months. Maybe i hit the wall i dont know how i broke my coller bone.

Anyway when i was able to move i took all the grass and straw out of my bike cleand it up and resprayed my plastics.

I was quite pleased with the spray job it looked really nice.

Anyway i rode around with a broken coller bone went every with NY_sniper as he was out of work and i was on sick

Ilkley more
Squires
Places we didnt know

was a good summer

BUT... i winter 2005 i came off again on some black ice outside of work , as i accelerated my wheel just spun and the bike just slid out , i wasnt hurt as it was only about 5mph but i was huming.

Fairings scratched and snapped ,bent bars and a snapped gear leaver.

After this it all just went tits up . My mum left me with a house to pay for and i simply had no time with all the over time i was doing at work and no money because all my money was paying bills .

So basically i had no time for my precious baby rs
I am now back at my mums in leeds and now this is my RS
