Just test rode the R1 :-)

Well I forgot when I went for a bimble with Christofire. The bike got wet
and salty, but I didn't think it was bad. I did a few days later when I
looked at it. And cried. A full day working to bring it back to a reasonable
state and a leathering with ACF will stop it happening again. The shit on
the roads did more damage in one day on the unprotected bike than two whole
winters have done.

But where are you going to take it for services and what have you? I
wouldn't be trusting a brother.

Same.

I bought the 06 black model.

need to get a tin of black paint or some black rim tape to get rid of
the red stripe round the wheels though.

There's a big bit of unused tyre there ;-)

 

Not for much longer matey...

 

There's a big sig-sep there too )

I wish you fun purposefully using-up the remaining rubber,

 

Fek - my snippage was incomplete and I do apologise.

Thanks - I'll post some pics when I do ;-)

 

What on earth for? It looks cool. I had red stripes on the wheels of my
Dnepr, fab it was.

It's not the stripes, it's the colour. She might not admit it but if
they were gold they'd not be an issue.

 

I think that was the one, they offered my gixxer and 5K to swap.

Get some black touch-up paint.

 

I had some unused rubber on mt 10R for about two weeks after I got it. I
posted a picture of my new end cans and the girls remarked about the chicken
strips. To be honest chiken strips are not the measure of a rider but just
in case I could them nicely scrubbed over the next few days. I couldn't
really push the bike before because the weather was awful.

 

Could you imagine the trouble [1] if a harmless water-based paint was
used to make the R1 entirely red?

[1] perhaps "trouble" is an understatement.

 

Tim says...

It's a fucking brave or very stupid man who even thinks of such things.
Can I video the rection?

 

Would you be willing to do the dirty deed?

I'll take that as a no.

 

My great-grandad, whose home sat approximately half-way between
Goodison Park and HMP Walton, wouldn't allow anything red in the
house. I have no idea how he would have reacted had he cut himself;
perhaps the blood would be too embarrassed to show itself?

 

Chris - thanks. I'll try a set. I don't have the financial luxury of being
able to replace barely worn tyres so I'll just have to try and wear the
Metzelers out before summer

Cheers

 

Only if I had one of those fire-righting planes that drop the red water
used on forest fires.

 

Blue for me. Barely run in, with a chunk still left on the manufacturer
warranty. And all at a thoughoughly reasonable price from a main dealer.

Still, at least yours isn't chickwheels... :/

 

LOL! The previous owner didn't deserve that bike

P.

 

Blue blooded, I expect.

 

Your keyboard is about as useful as mine.

Fine typo though, yielding a hint of rectum action as well as
erection. Moving on from ears, are you?
