Last time I went there was a wall of death, best part of it. Otherwise its like being charged to have a look round bikeworld. (that said, I'd go if there was a wall of death )

goodlad

So .......... I bought a 2006 zx10r today ... The bike scares the ****e outa me!

GBX

Big change from the V huh?

goodlad

Just a bit yeah.... Will take some getting used to.
Jut getting it greased up where it needs to be greased etc... Give it a clean up then and some acf50 and its ready for the road.

Animal of a bike Gary, jaysus that is some change for you. If you taught the SV1000 was un-comfortable this will break your back and wrists mate. Absolute savage machine, very best of luck with it.

goodlad

Yeah its a very aggressive seating position but sure ****it. Its not like im commuting on it like i was with my SV.

One thing i noticed immediately with it is was i didnt have to bend my head back to look forward, which i did have to do on the SV. But my legs are tucked in a lot tighter on this.

Its going to take a lot of getting used to. But sure its all part of the fun.

Have a lad out tomorrow helping me slap up a timber frame from the side of my house out to the fence and were putting some plastic roofing on top.

Cheap and cheerful. Will keep the elements off the bike nicely.

I should be out Sunday. Although I'm not lying when i say the bike scared me a bit. Will be taking it very handy until i build some confidence on it.

Gotta learn how to corner all over again! haha

Mr Sheen!

Is a lovely bike Gary. Is in my list for when I can fit more than one bike into the garage without the Mrs going ape. . . I have to wait until her eyesight deteriorates a bit more !!

kodak

That's a definite u-turn on hanging up the boots !

Best of luck with it

goodlad

It sure is!! Haha
