PowerDrinker Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hiya from a 'mature' motorcycle enthusiast in County Durham.. Been a member for a wee while but mainly for the reading of various interesting topics... After a few drinks yesterday and browsing Ebay on 'tinternet in the pub I came across a semi complete Turbo kit for an FZR1000.. Trauma is... I won it.. Suffice to say - As soon as it arrives my tired old FZR will be getting a little attention paid to it. Looks like I'll be chucking more than a few hours overtime in at work to finance it. Any input will be appreciated as soon as I get started and hopefully I'll try to keep the work well documented with pics and a few choice words when things start going together... Dick... AKA - PowerDrinker ( It's the Newcastle Brown Ale y'know) (Might copy n paste this to 'Workshop' too.. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacha Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 to the YOC! My favorite is the 1554 black ale from the folks at New Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerDrinker Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Cheers for the welcomes guys... Sacha... The main point of drinking Newcastle Brown Ale is...... It's a local beer. I love Hoegarden.. It's a Blonde Beer from Belgium I think but I don't class it as my everyday run of the mill pint after work. ;~) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hi welcome can't wait for the info on the turbo project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacha Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Ah... I see. Then for local beer I'd have to say my favorite is Midnight Satin from Portneuf Valley Brewery here in Pocatello... or Mount Borah brown from Bertram's Brewery in my hometown (Salmon).

PowerDrinker Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 I've been doing some of that reminiscing thing recently and it involves 2 strokes.. Last one I had was an x7 but I'm having some rather strange yet exotic dreams about owning a 500LC or 500 Gamma.. Not sure anything with less horsepower could cope with my portly figure.
