Dropped off today with Bike for fitment with new rear disc, Oh Er, "Whats that you say old dear? You couldn't see me??????"
Nice Talon Bling Sprocket
, rear wheel weighs 5.90Kgs
And for the front, weighing in at a spritely 3.45Kgs....
And because its never going to be no shrinking Violet wit dem Wheels, matching angled tyre valves (although they do come with tyre valves and all spacers as standard)
And thus ...Whilst awaiting for delivery, well collection, after fitment, a possible view of the "transformation"???

Its going to cost a bit at todays rates for a neck chain thick enough to do one of them justice.

Trying to kick my bling addiction, done it to 2 bikes, but neither of the Bims thanks the lord, and never ever rim tapes, Ah well, except the KTM that is....
But when something is already SO Tango Orange, could you possibly make it brighter??
I counted the number of "KTM" logos on it once, came to over 120 of them on the bike , and yet still once when I took it to Rivington Barn some bloke looked all over and said....Yup,,,,"What Bike is it mate?"

Just trying to be sociable I think, the teenage spotty youngsters were all over it like Ebay Elves weighing up how much the stolen parts could fetch on gaybay.

I think its more of a problem in mainland Europe than the UK, the teenagers in out country are too stupid to be able to steal and ride a bike, and too lazy and stupid to be able to break it down into parts for selling
Our local BMW motorbike dealership always takes all his jackets and helmets out of display every night, as the ebay elves would smash the main display windows to steal it all and stick on ebay, shame really |

[quote="2bims"]
AND THE FINAL WEIGH IN RESULTS ARE......
, rear wheel weighs 5.90Kgs WITH SPROCKET, Old Antera with sprocket....8.95Kgs
And for the front, weighing in at a spritely 3.45Kgs....AND the Old Antera a whopping 6.0Kgs
Both sets of wheels without discs and tyres, measured like for like. Thus a Total weight loss of ......5.55Kgs, or in old money, 12Lbs and 4 ounces
Felt so inspired at the weight loss I ran off to Sansburys to buy some salad fruit and veg and see if I can do likewise....
Couple of snippets (lead you in gradually... )
And both Together
