    Got one ATM, had it since June.

    Notably more grunt than my bindit and deceptively quick.

    Haven't ridden that much (<1000miles) due to weather.>

    Wannado a Gixxer 1000 with a sensible conversion?
    Renthals
    AP Racing brake conversion
    Maxton Shock
    Renntec carrier
    Oxford Panniers

    It knocks every other lardy tourer, FJR etc. into the weeds.

    Wouldn't be the first time you'd parodied() me after all!

  6. Wooden dowels (1/4" fitted into 6mm holes) would be more in keeping
    with Land-Rover.

    Yes, and by god it sounds sweet.
    Ah, you want a road going one :)

    Anyone arranging a cheap track day before the end of the year ?

    Cheers,

    Paul.

  14. It was road-going originally. I´ll scribble a few words for the old geezer.
    Don´t tell me you haven´t ridden it yet? www.uktrackdays.co.uk

    heh heh

    Hmm, well, I've run a damp cloth over the fairing and started it up to
    warm it up ;)

    I've toyed with chucking a no plate on the back and pootling up the
    road on it to give it a run out ..

    BTW When did you change the oil last, is it due to be changed ?

    Cheers,

    Paul.

    Oh, *you* got it. You sound happy with the situation.

  17. That thing was serviced to death. It won´t need an oil change for ages.
    If you take it on the road, don´t forget it hasn´t got a cooling fan.
    Oh, hang on, you live in England don´t you. As you were.

    I miss that bike.

    Yep, I wanted the trailer, and Paul said "it'd be easier if you bought
    the bike that's on it too"

    And it was ;-)
