Wasn't that the year there was a water shortage? Long hot summer and all......... I know Stoke can bit a bit 'out there' I could be wrong, after all I was only 8........
I VAGUELY remeber a water shortage - but i was only 6 lol
-
We got freezing temps on the way apparently though - we aint done yet!
Although i get up at half 5 to take the dog out and its pitch black - but when i get home around 6am its light!
-
Was gonna go see it today bit its total pishing it down so am going tomorrow (probably ice by then!).
That a 1990 CBR? Looks brill.
Yep sure was. An upgrade from my CBR4
They good on the m/way how much miles to the tank?Will be making a trip to Weybridge near(ish) London from Dumfries once a month and i was wondering if it could do the job?
Reckon it was about 45mpg - but it can be a lot more or a lot less - depending on your riding - as as said earlier if you are aggressive on the throttle then it will drop like you wouldnt beleive but if you are very smooth you get a lot more.
Long way you got to ride there - but yeah - with a couple of stops for yourself, it will do the job.
I used to regulary blast up to the North East on mine when i first met the OH - OK its not a great distance, but twice a week it did it with no problems.
I know a proper tourer would be better but i think the CBR ticks all the right boxes.Yep - cant agree more - great all rounder
-
Cheers Goff, class info as always. Hope he throws in the soft luggage.
Seems cheap so am a bit worried.
Hes gonna take me a spin wi me sitting bitch so i can see how it handles....... should be fun....
CBR6's are a brilliant all rounder. I loved mine but was far too aggressive with it and i was beginning to turn into one of thse twatty riders we all hate who would have eventually ended up dead.
It should handle very well indeed - as for the price - everyones desperate for cash at the mo so dont let that put you off.
Just take a good look round it, check what ive pointed out and you cant go wrong.
This was mine:
-
Had one of these myself - fabulous bike
The CBR6 is pretty bullet proof. Keep it in clean oil and will run forever.
There are a couple of known issues, but none are serious or that expensive to fix if they rear their ugly heads
One is the regulator/rectifier which can fail and stop charging the bike (or start over-charging it)
If that happens then a new reg/rec is around the 65 quid mark. The other problem is the cam chain tensioner (you'll hear a loud clattering rattle, worse at about 5k revs) and that's slightly cheaper and a half hour job to replace - yes you can do it yourself. If the headlight brightens when revved from idle it ususally means the reg/rec is OK, but if the idle is high you wont see much change if the reg/rec is good.
You should get decent mileage out of one of these, if you are agressive on the throttle then it will drop like youwouldnt beleive but if you are very smooth you get a lot more.
Also check engine & frame numbers and watch the exhaust where it goes 4-2-1 for rot
Hope this helps

WTF is one of those days...........
You know - when the day has hardly started and already its fuckwits ahoy....
People who say "so they say"1) Who's 'they'? and
2) why do 'they' always have all the answers?
haha..
I had the time / watch situation with a lad who works in our warehouse last week...I asked.."what time are we on"..he looked at his wrist - didnt even have a watch on - and says "erm, its about half three"...
-
1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the fuck is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the tv remote because they refuse to walk to the tv and change the channel manually.
3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too".
Damn right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?
4. When people say "it's always the last place you look".
Of course it is. Why the fuck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? My god they need their arses kicking!
5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?".
No you moron, I paid £8 to come to the cinema and stare at the fekking floor.
6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
7. When something is 'new and improved!'.
Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.
8. When people say "life is short".
WTF? Life is the longest thing anyone every bloody well does! What can you do that's longer?
9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?".
If the bus came would I be standing here, you bloody numpty!
10. When im in Asda and someone i know says "Alright - what you up to Goff" - FFS!!! I am doing my friggin shopping! Does it look like im Bungy Jumping or something?
Im sure theres a lot more - im having one of those days today.........
-
Aren't you the funny one, Drewpy!
If you had followed the 'thread' you would realise it was an extension of my previous comment to Goff, although it does look like I am talking to myself!
Oh well, guess I have reached that age.
Still dont make sense to me
-
Bloody snow!!
Thats a pretty picture though
-
Hey Helen - welcome to the forum - always good to have another girly on board!
-
This is an old one
No he doesnt lose his hand
A piston exploded through the head and body of the bike and blew his glove off.
Blowing a piston dies not have enough power behind it to sever a hand
The reason you can't see his hand is because he was wearing black flame gloves under his racing gloces and they blend right in with the bike
This video was perfectly edited because right after it ends you can see his hand in the light and pants.
He was perfectly fine - in fact he went on to win a Championship on the same motocycle

Welcome to the forum
-
So where DID this all stem from then? Point me int he direction of the thread if you dont mind.
On ANY bike forum (except Harley of course) you will ALWAYS get folk taking the piss out of them - its as common as BIRD riders taking the piss outta CBR riders and cruiser riders ribbing sports bike riders - it will never change.
Harleys and their riders will always be the butt of jokes and not a lot we can say will change that cos they like to think they are in a different class to the rest of us - just take a trip down your local HD store on a sunday and see..........
A few of my friends have Harleys and ive had a go on a couple - i rode a softail (i think it was the heritage - looks a bit like the XVS Classic?) i did not like one bit -it was rattly and unresponsive, and overall a real uncomfy ride IMHO.
HOWEVER - i do like the Night Rod - i may even own one one day - but we shall see.
Dont take it so serious - no one means any harm.
-
Leg warmers, spandex tgghts, headbands and pumps - a la Olivia Newton John
Or Madonna of the 80's (and yeah i used to dress like that
) -
Yep - take the money and ride on sunday!

A light bust behind the speedo isnt a problem!
It can be replaced cheaply and you can DIY
I dunno about what the guy at the garage toldyou but if your happy with it go for it.
HPI checks mean jack shit too - as i found out last month when i went to trade my bike in.
The HPI company said it had been written off 2 years ago which was totally rubbish. Turns out they had made a mistake but one that caused me a right bloody headache with the dealer
If the bike feels right fot you then go for it.
