It can't be any worse than the black thing you brought to the GMII, but it soon will be!!! ;-)

[davepreston]

ahhh the black scotish curvy naked that hated scotland

[andrewsmith]

[AndyBrad]

At least you'll be able to get out on a bike soon then.

[maviczap]

£400 bargain, silver too

[davepreston]

its a barn find (well stable actually) 1988 with engine and all working just needs a proper and i mean proper decraping, new seals and a few odds and ends, tbh i can be ar5ed with it as it was for gem and it far to small for me, just looking rid
if ya want it mate i can take photos tell you all i know about the damage and it can be your for pittance

[andrewsmith]

Mate if i had the cash and time, I would.
Already turned a GSXR 4000 GK73 Project down so far this year.

I'll do some asking round see if anyone is after cheap 400 project

[Luckypants]

[andrewsmith]

Hmmmm if it was an RVF I'd bite yer arm off...

most people would if its an RVF

[yorkie_chris]

NC24 I believe.

Get your garage built Dave and I'll pop over a few times to give you a hand with it! I have no bloody room for it lol.

[Luckypants]

Yeah but I've probably wanted an RVF ever since you were in primary school! So my need is greater! :D Should have bought one when I had the chance in 1998, but chose a bigger bike.

[yorkie_chris]

I've ridden one and I don't know what the fuss is about. Everyone goes on about how sweet they handle and except for it being short and pointable it's BS, practically every one out there is on 10 year old fork and shock which you don't need me to tell you that doesn't make for the best handling bike ever built.

I can see why druid likes them on track but I wouldn't have one.

[dizzyblonde]

Gems kitchen dreams have gone up in smoke??


Now, I seem to remember her buying a new frying pan the other day.....I'd be very careful if I was you, I have a feeling she might be testing its strength against the back of your head!!!

[Bibio]

I have a feeling she might be testing its strength against the back of your head!!!

oooohhhh i hope someone is there to video it and post it on youtube. i need a good larf.

[davepreston]

its a gold nc21 87 first of the sswa (vfr)

as for the sv tbh its going to take me 45 mins to put back on the rd so gems kitchen is safe (for the minute)
now time to find a cheap multi bike policy, any ideas people

may i point out knowing you lot is costing me a fortune (with some saving me one too to be fair)

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

One bit of advice... don't crash it...

[davepreston]

thats bang out of line mate, i resemble that statement

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

thats bang out of line mate, i resemble that statement

Your not the only one, ha ha

Besides, I still yet to drop off the exhausts to you, was just south of your the other day, but, was busy working, ha ha

[dizzyblonde]

I go through Carol Nash, Dave. Not the cheapest, but probably the one with the least amount of problems when needing them for crashing purposes:smt016 and end cans, seat cowls and moddifering type things.
Three bikes, 340 quid last year...but thats with 6 years NCB. 2 SVs were £290, but then I had to add the VRap. They wanted another 300 quid on top for that alone, but I haggled and got it added to the SVs for 50 in the end:smt080

[davepreston]

not the cheapest lmao £600 i can insure individualy for a total of £380, and thats not using no claims on the 650

[hindle8907]

Dave PM me your address please and phone number.
I think you gave me the wrong address as the system isn't reconsigning it.

[dizzyblonde]

not the cheapest lmao £600 i can insure individualy for a total of £380, and thats not using no claims on the 650

well I don't reckon 340 fully comp is bad for the three, bearing in mind the Raptor isn't cheap to insure, not sure what category its in, seem to recall its a high one though.
