Well, you see...

he is not OK in the normal way. :eek:

So, three, maybe four months and the licence would be gone.

Whut you talkin bout?

Well, I managed to only get 4 points in 3 years on the 'blade but I think that's because I was good at talking my way out of tickets with the Guards! In the UK I would have lost my licence (yes, it's spelt with a "c", I checked! lol) in a matter of months!

But aren't you OK over in the UK with an Irish Licence?

No, I only have until July to change to a UK licence, which will come preloaded with 3 points thanks to the Firestorm (didn't even have the f*ckin bike 24 hours and I got done for speeding LOL)

Thanks! Sorry should have scaled them down before I uploaded them, didn't intend for them to be so big.

Here's my SV650s. A little dirty in this photo. Plans for a tail tidy, seat cowl and shiny stainless down pipes which have been neglected.

Oh and first off a new battery. I've let the existing one run down a few times while chatting to mates with the ignition on. How embarrassing!

What does the foot pedal do?

Jackasaurus rex

Foot pedal is the back brake. right hand lever the front break. Left lever clutch, left grip twists up and down to change gear.
Like this (not my hand)

Great tattoo for a scooterist.

Of all the bikes I've owned over the last 25yrs the Vespa PX200E was my favourite, absolutely loved it.

Regrettably I sold it to someone who thought better of it than to pay me, I believe its in crates in his shed or something and despite repeated calls and texts I haven't heard a word in over 12 months.. But I still have the paperwork on the bike so someday I'll have it back.

Its the stupidest thing I done tbh.

I loved the bike but I wasn't using it at the time, my son was looking for money for a car so I decided the bike had to go - I believed it was going to a very good home.

In the end I ended up giving my son my own car, and I bought another bike (Zephyr in this thread)... Sorry for bringing the thread off topic but lesson learned - don't trust a soul with something you love.

Back on topic with a photo from yesteryear!.

Here's my one. before and one with the beast of an exhaust system
sorry about the pic quality!

fleabag

Here's my beast. Does 240 miles/week without a bother on E12 of petrol. The 'saddlebag' aka kid's rucksack was 50c from a charity shop. I've had this bike for more than 3 years and it's up there with the GPz 550 I had years ago. Hardly ever get a nod from other bikers on it but that's their problem not mine. It doesn't owe me a penny but it does however need a new exhaust now so if anyone knows of one going cheap, preferably without holes ....:)

Could do with a wash and a non pink saddle bag but other than that its nice.

I like photos of bikes like that, little bruisers. Lots of character

Gave her a clean today after it got destroyed on the way home yesterday!



and installed my phone mount



Anyone know what this connection is for? I'm guessing it's for an Optimate or something like that..

Please Kill Me

You need to get yourself a couple of "46" decals in luminous yellow, and schtick them on the side there!!! :pac:

Savage machine mate, well wear!

Took my gsr out for its first proper run today, loved every minute of it.

So do you intend to keep this for a while or will hyou get bored and want something else within a few months hehehehe! Busa maybe?

Good man Kami! I'm delighted for you! Those 'blades are simply brilliant bikes!

Have you opened the throttle wide yet? I remember the first time I gave mine the beans when I came back from buying her and the front wheel lifted effortlessly and I thought to myself "I'll be dead within a week"... lol

Not sure if that connection is for a standard aftermarket battery optimiser but I know for sure Honda didn't put it there! Did you ask the previous owner?

Anyway, keep her lit and shiny side up! And do me a favour, before you bring her to Anglesea, check how much new fairings are in a Honda dealership. You'll understand why I asked when you find out!

Gave her a good trashing on the way to and from work today (120 miles of twisties).

Yeah had the throttle wide open a few times and looked a bit like this while doing it:

I've never gotten to or from as work as fast as I did today LMAO

Looks exactly like the oximiser lead i fitted a while back. Check back and see if it connected directly to the batt terminals to be sure

Picture of my bike with the L plate removed. Yay. Just passed by UK Direct Access test.

Now for the difficult test of finding a new bike to replace it with.
