Re: TV IAM Rideout - 21st Oct
But that means you will have to fix your bike.

Re: TV IAM Rideout - 21st Oct
I would, but a botched fitment on a screen/tailtidy has left the bike with broken screws and inadequate electrics. Such a shame.
You on the hand have 2 bikes that never get any proper use...best let FB have a go. |

Re: TV IAM Rideout - 21st Oct
Its a fecking pain on the R6. You have to loosen the 4 nuts that hold the mirrors, loosen part of the front fairing as it slots into it and then undo the 4 screws that hold it. You then have to charm the new screen into position without the little rubber washers making a bid for freedom.
Don't get me started on the tail tidy. |

I also claim the 'cripple factor'.

Re: TV IAM Rideout - 21st Oct
I supose I could ride your r6 but what would the point be? Its too quiet, has no torque and 4 cylinders. TBH I wouldd rather take the old mans bonnie at least its got character rather than being as bland as ice. On the other hand I guess it could do with someone to get the oil flowing if your not capable and whats the worse that can happen? your chicken strips get smaller?
As for having a go on the deauville, id be well up for that, ive ridden a few r6's but never a deauville and the more bikes you've had a go on the better. |

Re: TV IAM Rideout - 21st Oct
Also just how in the name of god does your screen have electrics in it? I know im no good with wires but jesus christ thats bad. You got a heated front screen so you get warm air blast off the front of the bike?
