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

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.

You keen?

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

Tidy looking bike akra,
did you sell the fixed by Simon Crafar signed GSXR?

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!!

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!

Now THATs a can!

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 . 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 . Budget biking is ace.

Nice one.

Glad to have you back on 2 wheels.

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 .

Loch Earn at STD Fillans?

Was dragged up down there, some excellent roads down that part of the country.

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.

Your either extremely brave, or extremely stupid Keith!!

nice one keith, where about did you pick that up from?

im looking to maybe get rid of the 10 and purchase a race ready YZFR6.

Well the ER-6 has had a change managed to pick up a K9 GSXR750 front end for her and slapped on a R-6 Radiator on for better cooling. Tried it out 2nite on a closed road Obviously cairn o mount cough cough.
