steve, for that aithentic look you'll have to ride it with a leon trotsky/steve biko/CCCP t-shirt! proper bit of socialist history - you were born after all this matter though! great bikes btw, but as ^^^ dont compare it to jap stuff!

Sweet, did you trade Elvira in?

no but my works tablet wouldnt let me edit the images - think a few cars around here have been rolled though

lol, im going bald fast, and it really shows! This was the second wave so the first lot was frozen underneath. I had to eat a lot of humble-pie, as my mate has had tons of 4x4s and iv always taken the piss, but it went up a 1:4 incline, that a lot of cars find hard in the dry.

i know those of you up'nath wont see this as a big deal, but down her 6 foot snow drift are rare as rockin horse dung. my mate who rides a divvy has a jeep today we went up onto the hills near bristol, his jeep amazed me going up icy 1:4 inclines check out these pics, iv never seen the area like this: btw im the guy covered in snow, after i dived into a snow drift!

yer tis:

try this yamaha dealer in london: http://www.chappellofbondstreet.co.uk/C~52~Digital+Pianos not sure theyll know much about R1s'n'stuff though! seriously introduce yourself, then ask!

£500 chuffing heck! wunder wat the power rises too? 20hp?

Hey Goff, i know what your thinking, iv got the new Zx6 and im trying to get into the routine of wiping the bike down after a ride. Trying to run it in with care, as its quite peaky im trying not to slog the engine. wont be a prob with a custom.

Shokz, this is about looks. i think the RD250LC has a classic look, that is timeless. The GTS1000 looks hitech even now. the worst is the YB100, just never looked right to me.

Ooooh! Goff u tease! Forum Pin-up 2009, surely? lol

Total respect to you! we are not worthy!

james may features one in his recent series, id never heard of it before.

Welcome. quick search of fleablag: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Yamaha-R1-NO-DRILL-C...A1%7C240%3A1318

Ruddy Hell - that is astonishing

oh dear, what a start! i like what you have done, but as the others have said would have been better to build us upto it. good luck ith getting your votes.

a big factor is that car drivers are very disengaged from the environment they are in. Hence why we call them 'cagers'. I drive a car most of the time and with heater, radio, other distractions, the 'cell' of the car creates a remotness. Bikes are almost the oppsite, we are very immersed in our environment and we do not have that cellular protection. the governement should make CBTs compulsory for all learner car drivers before they can take the test.

welcome to the forum! great bike, shame urs is giving u probs! maybe you should speak to your local trading standards or citizens advice to find out your exact position. You could try calling consumer direct too. If it isnt fit for purpose you may grounds to reject it. good luck

simple answer - yes. you may wanna try a tyre with a harder middle compound if it is squaring off. have a look on the m and p site.

steve probably wont be able to get classic insurance as he is a young 'un!

£2700? no way Steve you must be mad!!! like ^ said a mini is a great choice, my mate collects em, the amount of bits you can get for them is amazing. if i was in your shoes id get an old fiat panda! (of course staying on bikes for a few years would be better!!!)

cant you just take it to a general motor engineer? i live 5 mins from piston broke engineering, but the guy is too dear, i take specialist jobs like that to a motor engineering shop the otherside of the city - even cheaper!

picked up my new zx6r today. My old man gave me a lift to pick it up from swindon, rode it back - runnning in so tried not to rev it hard. Lovely weather, handles sweetly, makes my FZR1000 feel so primative, but then i knew it would. Looks great will post a pick soon!

with the healthcare thing make sure you have EHIC, it replaced the E111. You should still get decent insurance, but it provide cover under the 'reciprocal agreement'. Ive always travelled with lots of spare carrier bags and bin liners. great as an additional waterproof layer and for bagging stuff up. pulled tight can be used as 'rope'. Remember a decent tape to protect plastics, do make shift repairs etc (a small roll of insulation tape is good).
