Re: GM chit chat thread
DD, thanks very much! Much appreciated 8) You know that you're local to WayneL and Thunderace who are also in Aldershot??
|
Re: GM chit chat thread
Yeah have had a PM convo with WayneL who's not far from me.
Where abouts is thunderace Hopefully get the SV back on the road soon. Not been MOT'd for about 3 years now! Since its last MOT it's gained a GSXR750 front end and an Elka rear shock |
Re: GM chit chat thread
Not sure where Thunderace lives, i only know it's Aldershot :lol:
3 years! Time to get it back on the road then ;) What type/model have you got? Gixxer front end v nice, i'm considering it for mine when i decide how long i am keeping it for. |
Re: GM chit chat thread
Woohooo! New thread. Thanks Dawwwg! :D

Re: GM chit chat thread
Mines a curvy S. bought by the other half (Kithat) new in 2001 and then acquired by me about 4 years ago when I bought kitkat a Raptor 1000.
Was originally pearl lively yellow but is now Shimmerin green. Showing about 35k miles now. In my defence I've not been off the road for those 3 years as I had a Benelli Tornado for a little while Here it is http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...8/363ca6ec.jpg And yes the wheels are still mismatched like that, still trying to decide what colour to paint them! |
Re: GM chit chat thread
Like a Kwak Green?
|
Re: GM chit chat thread
Darker than kwak green, that picture was taken in the shade so doesn't do it justice really.
Been the last few years with having a baby (now 3 1/2) and busy lately with a mk2 xr2! |
Re: GM chit chat thread
That looks good 8) i like the look of that. I bet it eats corners better than before with the suspension set up
|
Re: GM chit chat thread
It should do, I've not ridden it in anger since fitting the rear shock
|
Re: GM chit chat thread
Thats one hell of a bright wheel!
|
Re: GM chit chat thread
I actually like the colour of that bike and i think the wheel is ace
|
Re: GM chit chat thread
The green is much nicer and brighter in sunlight.
Wheels will either be silver to match the frame or black |
Re: GM chit chat thread

http://www.glmsales.co.uk/lg_images/...-Bay-Glove.jpg Im on my second replacement pair in a month because of the stitching round the outside seam on the fingers coming away? My finger tips get squashed numb by the weird stitching (seam sewn round the outside of the fingers) and dont know anybody else with the same glove. Ive been and got some Tuzo TZ10's and they do fit like a glove. Maybe i will give the Buffalo Bays another try and see if they give a bit. |
Re: GM chit chat thread
I have an MOT! Ready for another years carnage!
|
Re: GM chit chat thread
And brake pads?
|
Re: GM chit chat thread
Yeah, and new brake pads. Forgot how ****e they are when they're new. Squeeeeeeeeeeze harder (wayhey). Hopefully they'll wear in and the mechanic didn't do something stupid like bleed out all my brake fluid.
Also bought some RST trousers so I can finally stick my budget ones in the wardrobe, and a tail bag ... plus some oil to apparently help clean my downpipe (doubt it!). |
Re: GM chit chat thread
yeah, after a few miles they'll bed right in. Think mine are just about bedded in now.
You really did go 'shopping' then, what did you get a tail pack for when you have that tank bag ;) |
Re: GM chit chat thread
Well, to transport my new trousers home, obviously! :D Nah, I figured the more storage the better. Should avoid me having to wear a backpack in future.
|
Re: GM chit chat thread
always best to stack the bike with luggage than the rider
|
Re: GM chit chat thread
True that. The only thing is, the bungees wore away a bit of paint work where I clipped them on. Will need to find a better connection point.
|
Re: GM chit chat thread
Get some wide clear tape and stick that over your fairings. then the bungees wont scratch :) problem solved

Re: GM chit chat thread
get the rubber netting style stuff and put it under the tailpack with over hang on the sides where the bungies are against the bodywork. The bungies will still rub through the tape/clear plastic.
this stuff or similar: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle...item45ff8d9e57 |
Re: GM chit chat thread
I use the same material. My better half bought it to line the kitchen draws.

I did 1500 miles in bad weather through France with the sellotape method and suffered no damage or rub through at all. |
