Yeah, had a few dealings with him now. Very sound and prepared to do a deal which gets my vote. :2up

Got an carbon tipped titanium Akrapovic can, HEL braided brake lines, ASV shorty levers and plenty R&G crash protection coming next week. Away to fit some supercorsas too.

Looking forward to trying it out at Knockhill on Friday. :freebird

You keen?

Would do, but hoping to have another bike lined up by then. Using the CBR would be tempting fate. :nono

Cheers for the nice comments!! Yeah, the bike is a stolen/recovered which the insurance company has paid out on. Theres a guy who I have bought some bits for the gixxer from online and I was ordering a 15 tooth sprocket from him and said I was looking for an 07/08 ZX6R and he said he has one which he is sorting out at the moment. He sent me some pics when I was offshore and the deal was done.

I just hope I can keep it looking fresh!! :2up

A lad from offshore has booked onto Knockhill on Friday and I think he is buying the gixxer. He has only seen pics of it and he is due home tomorrow. If he does not want it, then I will take it down to Knockhill and stick a "for sale" sign on it. Perfect place to sell a track-bike is on a trackday. ;)

It sure is, if someone was selling a Buttplug the day I crashed I would have had it just to get back out there!

My new heap. Picked it up this morning. Its eh how do I put it...agricultural. By heck brakes have improved in the last 10 years as well :eek . Still good fun though and makes a lovely noise. Its hard work but rewarding. Still managed to annoy a power ranger R1 owner on the way home. Managed to break it already, numberplate hit the back tyre and ripped the tailtidy off :log . Budget biking is ace.

Cheers min, a little bit of fettling and it will be spot on. Cant complain for what I paid. Met the R1 riding copper at HH on the way back and seems like a decent guy. Said not to worry about no plate and if I got stopped just tell them to give him a bell :2up .

Wouldn't mind, but I'm planning to go to Almeria in November so it'll have to be a 'no'.

Shame, would be good to help Joan celebrate her 40th. :biggrin2
