R6Ricky

Dont suppose youd sell it? Ricky

Would be an exhaust for my R1 i reckon, a titanium 4-2-1 system, just 1 nice simple Termi can behind the foot brake, 08 R6 sorta way(or like the Moto GP bikes). Not a big fan of the twin exit under seat affair.

Mirrors arent a legal requirement on a bike. Ricky

A dunno about the warranty void part there, my local Yam dealership is selling brand new R125's with full sport exhaust systems that supposedly up the power by 20%, doubt they would be doing this if it made the warranty null and void. Ricky

Hey welcome Jo, gorgeous bike. The more i see R125's, the more i wish i was 17 again

Hey guys and gals, anybody know of any Yamaha meets, runs or charity runs happening in the Scotland area? Looking to do a good run on the bike this year instead of my usual half hour blast then home again. Ideally a charity event would be better as this would be for a good cause. Even a national charity event that is still looking for participators? Ricky

Hi mate, right 1st question, yes a Cat 'C' is indeed a write off, id try if possible to find out what damage the bike sustained, however isnt uncommon for it to be a write off, think alot of track bikes are made from write off's instead of good useable road bikes. 2nd question, a V5 is only any good if you intend to MOT the bike for daylight hours, if not, then it isnt a big deal, again alot of track bikes have no V5, you can however buy it then get a V5 from the DVLA.(i know you can do this with cat 'C' cars so guessing bikes are the same) 3rd question, as far as being stolen is concerned, you can get the VIN/chassis number off the bike and phone the DVLA/Police(i think) to see if it has indeed been nicked. Hope this helps mate. Ricky

Should be there one of the days, see how it goes, been rather busy lately

Looks very nice Dave, deffo the right colour scheme Whats she like to ride?

Hi mate, Id probably suggest fitting a Power Commander if you intend to change the full lot. And if your fitting the PC it would make sense to get it set up on a Dyno, just to get it perfect. Ricky

Sounds good mate, you got your eye on 1 already? Sound mate, gonna keep it another month or 2 anyway.

Haha ive got one, and believe me, she is slowly doing that very thing, bike is going, as are the 2 Jap cars so i can get a new house. Getting a tasty Porker 911 C2S to make up for the loss tho Missus doesnt know about this yet tho, so shoooooosh

Hows tricks mate? Super rare cars, ecspecially in that spec Still waiting on its log book arriving so i can actually use it on the roads. When you fancy a wee bike run? Am dying to get the R1 out on 1 last jaunt before i part company with it.

Its called working offshore And i am a finance junkie lol. And the Lotus wasnt trashed, it was in an accident, if you look at the pics before the crash, a think you'll see it was kept it mint condition I loooooooooooooove V8's, Brittish or American. Would love to buy a new ZR1 Corvette, but its way over my budget My mate had a V8 Rangie, he loved it, good cars, he traded it in for a new Supercharged Sport version last year.

Also, wheres pics of everybody elses cars? I wanna see what you other bikers use as daily commuters, or weekend toys that arent on 2 wheels.

Hi mate, couldnt tell you its performance figures as it never gets used, got a fresh rebuild in August and has covered half a mile since. Hasnt saw a track either as it decided to melt 5 pistons within 200 miles of being imported Ricky

Lol people were asking that, they also couldnt believe i was the driver and escaped with nothing broken or cut lol. Only thing i was bothered about was my new jersey, it was ruined with the dirty water

Those ABBA stands look quality, i was wanting 1 of them before i bought my Oxford ones but couldn't remember the make.

Yeah the Lotus was a proper job wasnt it lol. A got alot of stick for that 1 on the Elise Owners club Yeah mate, walked away without anything at'all, not even a cut or bruise, tough little cars. The car did well considering im 6'3, i still managed to walk away with my head Ricky

Next up is my(or rather used to be) gorgeous Lotus Elise 111R, this was an epic little car to drive, but unfortunately for me, just not in the wet, here are the before pics: And the after: Really not proud of this crash, i loved that car soooooo much, was a little present to myself for my 22nd Bday and cost a bomb, then a year later(day before my 23rd Bday) ended up like how it did. Was a shame too, was the ULTIMATE chick magnet Next up, My Astra VXR Nurburgring Ltd Edition: VXR is now sold tho, got rid of this in June to make way for a VW Tiguan Have owned a few other cars aswell as these, but dont have any pics. Also owned a heavily modified Evo8 FQ300, this suffered a similar sort of fate to the Lotus, however this was due to an old man piling into me at 70mph and making me land in some trees Still trying to find the pics of the Evo pre and post smash. So come on guys and gals, lets see pics of your past and current cars, always interesting to see what bikers other rides are. Ricky

As we are all petrol heads on here, of both 4 and 2 wheeled versions, i thought id post up some pics of past cars ive owned, loved, and in 2 cases smashed 1st up, my Jap crap, im a huge Jap turbo car fan: My 800bhp Skyline R32 GTR: Next up, my circa 600bhp Mazda RX7 track car(just had a fresh rebuild, currently joining the GTR in the run in process, soooo boring : Ricky

Good on you mate, ive wanted to do a bit of touring for ages with 2 of my mates, but things just keep popping up and we never get round to it. Good luck with it, mind take a few pics;)

I use the Oxford paddock stands front and rear, good pieces of kit. Think 1 stand does all bikes, i would however fit paddock stand bobbins to your bike so you can hook the stand onto it, as the bits that come with the stand to actually hold the bike dont look very stable in my opinion. Think the stand hook attatchments are an extra tenner or something. Ricky

Cheers mate Haha yeah, a little speed never harmed anybody Oh, bike is also for sale now, making way for my race bike. Heres the PH link to the ad: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1405009.htm
