ey up everyone,sold the zx9r and had a year off while the nipper was finding his feet
(and VOICE FFS) back on two wheels thank fook,picked up a cheap classic bike, just need insurance,tax and a new effin battery. god damn i missed it. even more reason to head out on long rides now for peace and quiet!! the lil mans 2 next week,cant believe it,it goes so fast. hes been in the terrible 2's stage for a year and a half tho cant remember the last good nights kip or day of peace lol. hes learnt to scream and pretend cry/throw a wobbler for no reason whatsoever so thats fun. (picking TOO many traits up off her indoors methinks!!) wouldnt change a single thing though.(except the noise...and rest.. nice to be back on the old site,sorry but i cant stand ewt to do with bikes when i havent got one, bike racing,magazines,forums ect,it hurts to much and depresses me. how are we all doing then lads?what have i missed |

Welcome back,having kids is fun isn't ?
It's far better when they're grandchildren as you can spoil them and they give them back when they play up. Still basically the old crowd on here,still taking the p*ss so you won't see too many changes |

paid £600 for it,cant believe how well its cleaned up tbh buddy.
lotsa hours,sweat,few cans of degreaser ect wheels were nearly black wi sh*t n gunk. plenty of power in the old girl,hating the narrow back tyre though, they were a 160 as standard,needs a 180 slapping on it but theyre nearly new bridgestones so have to do for now.gets plenty of admiring looks which surprised me, i guess folk fondly remember old bikes they had back in the day. anyone know where the idle/tickover adjuster is on these things??! its below 1000rpm and needs to be 1200rpm. hi nicky mate,exhaust fetish hasnt dwindled i see lmao, your yellow peril is looking awesome mate! glad all familys are good.so good to be back. |

Ps stick with correct tyre for rim mate as the narrow rim will just pinch a wider tyre in and your contact patch reduced plus u will have massive chicken strips lol.

hey up old pal.
yea,i normaly fit the tiny g.p cans from sp engineering as soon as i get a new/old bike, had one on the aprilia,zx9 and fireblade,but i like the look of this remus, its full system as well,manifold back.it cleaned up great with the good old solvil. sounds interesting too,bit of a growl to it. any bikes a good bike imo when you have been without one lol. i was saving for the £2k mark but itd have took me till the end of summer so this will do for this seasons riding and going to work on and build on it at a later date. i wanted a blade again as i do like them but a decent ones aprilia money and theyre no were near as good as the ape,best bike ive ever owned |
