Ok, I am at work and very tired, grumpy and about to commit murder. I just wonder what stage I could be considered insane ,or just bi polar? This not being able to ride for months on end is doing me in... _________________ Pomps

I was like that when i worked in Saudi 6 months at a time and no bike , i did try to buy a scrap cb750 four from a police pound but they got a bit funny and started waving guns around so i gave up on that one and had to wait till i got back to the UK ,thats when i had a moto martin and the Hailwood rep and i rode them both for two whole weeks before retuning to the land of Sand _________________ so many toys so little time |

I do get time to rent bikes every now and then. I was in Dallas a week back and picked up a vfr for the day which helped. Chicago is hopeless to find good routes so most of the time on the east coast I dont bother. _________________ Pomps

Sounds to me like you two are just trying to pi$$ us mere mortals off
But at least I get $hit loads of time to play with my bikes(even though I haven't got one on the road at the moment) |

Also bought a complete GSXR 1100L in bits, but I've used/sold half of it, so can't throw that back together
might just buy somthing up and running cus I'm getting withdrawal symptons although I can probably last till spring |

Looking at the good old salty roads again I guess waiting for spring is the right thing to do... _________________ Pomps

As I have a GSXR1100L to play silly buggers with on a drag strip, what bits have you got left?
All the best

Hi
Could be tempted with the plastics, mirrors maybe and possibly other odds and sods.
Not sure about the swinging arm. Mine has a longer Spondon arm, but a stock one could be useful to have floating around.
All the best

Bue/white of course the fastest colour
It's not mint, it's too good to scrap too, nice blue screen and perspex headlight protector. £50 to make more room in my garage?
(or swap for something shiny and useful) |
