My mate Keeno's '04 R6..... poor Mrs Keeno had to do over 330 miles on that perch. Never done more than 30 before :shock:

Mogs' '03 pointy. He keeps his pies in the tank-bag, the flip-front lid means he can eat them en-route.

I know I've taken the **** (a bit) but he knows I don't mean it :wink: Thanks for a great rideout Mogs - top chap :notworthy:

[valleyboy]

Hmm... I see everyone attempted to take photos of me taking my bike appart again! :lol:

after discussio0n with some lads on the MCN Ninjas site... it may be the cams on their way out :?

[Jabba]

it may be the cams on their way out :?

Let's hope they are trying to wind you up, eh? :cry:

No news from the garage, I take it?

[Beenz]

Nice pix Jabba!

Whens the next one? :D

[valleyboy]

it may be the cams on their way out :?

Let's hope they are trying to wind you up, eh? :cry:

No news from the garage, I take it?

No news from garage.. they are due to open it up tomorrow...

sadly, the symptoms they described are what my bike have at the moment :( a ticking noise, and generaly all round noisier than usual.... well, the bikes ticking a lot! hence why its booked in anyway...

I really need to lower my average mileage... 18K a years a bit silly isnt it ?!? :lol:

[fizzwheel]

18K a years a bit silly isnt it ?!? :lol:

Not really Liz has done 17k in a similar amount of time. Its still going strong. All shes had done is replaced the tyres and had it serviced regularly.

[valleyboy]

Well, if not lower my mileage... then not hit the rev limmiter all the time! :lol:

[fizzwheel]

Well, if not lower my mileage... then not hit the rev limmiter all the time! :lol:

You've not seen Liz ride then. Shes on the limiter alot she rides her bike hard.

[Grinch]

me too.. pop.. bang... done over 12k in the last 7 months. Even though it was Scoobs old bike... what you have to think its, would I be ****ed if it was my car doing the same.

[wyrdness]

I quite like the 'used to be a Hornet'. Shows that they don't all have to be bland and boring :D


Amazing GSX-R, appears to wheelie even when on its sidestand:

I'm not sure that anything in Newport has ever been described as "Hip & Trendy" :lol:

Different in Cardiff, of course :wink:
