KamiKazi, are you changing your bike every 3 months?
You always seem to be upgrading! Just get a GS and be done with it

No excuse to sell the bike. You can:

• Keep the bike for when you get back
• Ship the bike over
• Drive the bike over
• Take it apart and post it over

Or you could get a bike where ever you're going.

KamiKazi

It's worth more here.

And I can get insured on a 'busa over there for less than I'm paying on the SV at the moment

Paparazzo

Nice one. Where are you off to? You planning on getting something there?

cant believe the weather since sunday! its so nice today, would have loved this weather for my first spin

+1 for getting crash mushrooms, jack in the bike shop beside the cosy Chipper can order them in and would have them in fairly quick, he had mine the next day or order online.

im local to you as far as i remember im just at the artane round about, id be happy to head out for spins if your stuck for someone to join you, could meet at the esso on the malahide road.

would probable have the GF on the back seat as she loves the short spins out to malahide or howth. PM me if interested and ill send you my number.

Lads has anyone seen this? http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/motorbikes/2257975

Wossack

sweet.... wonder what requirements are on gear - presume fully zip together?

Zascar

Yeah I assume so. Textiles will do yeah, you don't need leathers do you? One of my mates told me at his track in the UK you need a full suit. I would kinda like to get leathers but I don't want a one piece and they are are pretty expensive. Anyone know where to get two piece leathers for reasonable money?

maameeo

pretty sure you need leathers for the track, not sure if you need a one piece though

lads are going up north to have a look this weekend, let you know if they find price better up there

maameeo

oh oh and also... i went out on my own for first time last night. just 5ish minutes down the road to the pool and back but still.

its the little things

I did the car track training day and couldn't speak more highly of it. I don't think you're going to beat €100 for that kind of training.

Good for you, L.

I remember thinking in the beginning that I was going to be slow and wobbly for the whole first year. You'd be very surprised how quickly you'll pick things up and how quickly you become a comfortable and safe rider.

Is there anything in the world more manly that painting exhaust manifolds

maameeo

now that is sexy!

ill be painting mine while its on the bike though lol, not the type of person who likes to take things apart :rolleyes:

That.... will soon change :cool:

Don't make the mistake I made on my Blackbird manifold. Buy heat proof paint. I did a beautiful job and it lasted until the first time I started the bike. Then it wasn't there any more :pac:

Are you sure?
Lovely engine but I have heard a lot of storys about the rotary damper spitting people off and cracking frames.
