Billy Balthorpe Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi everyone, i forgot to introduce myself so i thought i'd throw this up and let you see the bloody mess i've made of a nice bike. I've just bought an 'Ace for a few long trips over Summer with me mates and the missus in Europe. Its not the first Yam i've owned and truth be told all my mates still consider me to be a Yamaha Man, over the years i've had DT50, RS125, YB100, YPVS350, FZ750, FZR600, FZR1000 Gen, and probably a few more i've forgotten. I bet the pics dont work, i'm Terry Fuckwit when it comes to 'puters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Balthorpe Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ah! TDR 250 forgot that one, had to sell it coz i was going to get the book thrown at me riding like it made me ride it. Wheelies over roundabouts, through bus stops, shopping areas, up stairs, down stairs, pavements. I tell you i was safer on a bike that would do 150 than on that crazy thing. So i bought myself the FZ. Yeah, the blade looks a bit better now, its got a steering damper poking out from under the faring and a different horn. Actually, no, it doesnt look any better, people just say "whats that thing poking out from under the faring?" Apart from being pig ugly, its a very nice bike to ride, light, fast, comfy on the wrists, practical, a boot you can fit 4 cans of stella in and wheelies like the front wheel is allergic to the tarmac.

Moderator Goff Posted February 13, 2009 Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2009 I actually like Rats. Some are a work of art in themselves. You see some of them at rallies that are absolutely brill! They have "evolved" over time and a lot of work has gone into some of them - i woudlnt mind one meself one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vic-fzr600 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 the sodomiser, ive ridden it and its demonic... Hmmmm, interesting! Without sounding offensive, each to their own taste, it looks like the end result of an episode of Scrapheap Challenge!! But as long as its fun, then thats the main thing...

Ttaskmaster Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Indeed - Some rats look great!! Others do look shite if they're too messy. Thing is, Billy - If you style the rest of the bike to match the screen, you'd have an amazing looking deal, there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Balthorpe Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Well, i've bitten the bullet. All the 'Blade bodywork is away being smoothed out, flatted down, and sprayed a nice shiny black. Jeez i'm spending some money on me bikes and cars at the moment. I'll post up some pics once i get the stuff back and put back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
