Here it is, folks. Until the next installment ;-)

I think I must be missing something here; that looks in the first photo,
like a perfectly good CBR1000.

Or am I wrong?

 

JackH says...

It's still a perfectly good CBR1000, just a little modified to suit the
owner's tastes now.

 

Right there with you.
I quite like the look of the end product , but the idea of ratting a
perfectly good bike just seems wrong somehow.

Well, up to them, their money etc... Just think it's a shame to technically
trash a perfectly good bike, when you can pick up something just as
mechanically worthy but in need of cosmetics as salvage.

 

My thoughts exactly.

I mean Buell do it, but then the bike they started off with is a perfectly
shit bike in the first place... ;-)

 

Excellent, and very individual, plus a bit faster than it was too.

 

Oi! Jack! No! ;-)

Perzactly. My Bandit was trashed, I had no bike and the only thing I
could afford was the 'onda up there^^^; anything else in the
"traditional" style was way over my budget, and although I'd been in
there (the dealer) a few times and seen it, I'd overlooked it.

Desperation in equal measure as lack of cash, I slightly begrudgingly
bought the CBR. It went well but I couldn't quite get over the fact it
was a bit of a plastic pig :-(

What happened next was that it had started to grow on me but in the
interim, some scrote nicked the bellypan and after a few weeks of
putting it off, I decided to take the plastic off, undress it and give
it a good clean. That's when I decided to keep it that way, the only
thing was it needed a new identity.

That's when I got the (very much appreciated) help of the Garagepixies
and Speedyspic engineering.

I can't help feeling a little despondent TBH, but if I'dve bought the
right bike in the first place, I would never get the admiring looks I do
now ;-)

 

Cheers. Cutting the pipes made a noticeable difference.

Now, I'm off out on it to scare a few virgins

 

Woo and yay to you sir.

My GTR is looking similar nowadays. All I need to do to finish it is bob
the arse end of it and de-badge it.

 

A bit like fitting mini indicators then?

 

I fucking love it! \o/
Good on you WC, takes balls to **** up a decent bike like that[1], and I
reckon it's paid off. It looks well tough. Watch those fuckers move out
the way when you're filtering.


[1]I've made one post on 200mph.org.uk saying I'm gonna hack up a
Hayabusa, and they seem to have banned me for it. Bwaaaahahaha.

That's one way of putting it... what do you declare it as for insurance
purposes WC?

 

Cammo says...

Bunch of cunts they are. Right up themselves.

 

Not only that, it seems that things don't want to be parked next to rats
either.

Heh.. nice one. I'd like to see a piccy of that, if you ever get
round to it.

 

A CBR1000, surely.

Mechanically nothing has changed, same engine, same chassis, same
performance, same MOT.

The only difference is it doeesn't look like a jelly mould now.

FWIW I think it looks purposeful, if a little unfinished round by the
clocks.

 

LOL. Thanks!

Children cry when they see it.

Fucking bunch of pansies )

 

lovely.
