Default Any old Iron!

As some of you know, we have had Rosie the Kawasaki GTR1000 touring bike in our garage for close to three years and she is a bit of a wreck.

To be honest, she was never that great looking even when new, but she has a seat like a sofa and can eat miles the way I eat chocolate. Carol though has liked them for a while and has had a couple of them.





Sadly this is how she looks now.







Once the fairing is off, she does not look like such an ugly behemoth, but you can see the rust on the forks and the pitting is so deep, it would need a lot of work grinding and re-chroming to make them useful again.

So it was with a heavy heart we considered scrapping her, until a final look through E-Bay and we won new forks, new rear shock and maybe even new disks.

Our aim is to have this monster back on the road in time for the Bulldog bash, but with out the ugly and very broken fairing.

It is going to be a busy summer keeping this lot running!

I am always extra nice, unless I am berating her looks online!

Well, I am not editing it now, it spoils the fun of everyone thinking I am a bit of a cow!
