In the interests of keeping you alive Mark I found this 2006 BBC News report about one of my wifes family.:cuckoo: BE SAFE DUDE :)

BBC NEWS | Wales | Record speed biker dies in crash

Echo the above be VERY careful... Me/Lin have lost 2 friends in bike accidents and a 3rd has now had an arm amputated. :cry:

Big Bikes can be dangerous, but they are also amazingly good fun, so much more involving than a car.

But to echo many of the comments, be careful, and spend as much as you possibly can on decent CE approved Armoured Leathers, boots and gloves, plus a good helmet. And of course just don't ride without it, (I Know it feels great riding in a tee-shirt, but just don't!).
And no £175 is not expensive for a decent set of gloves, ask Milamber.
All the best kit does not make in invincible, but does give you the best possible chance should something go wrong.

Yeah but doesn't having it in green automatically give you at least 5 more bhp? ;)

Take it easy out there fella and watch out for my wife - she never uses her mirrors :(

Thanks for the concerns guys, this is mostly gonna be used to filter through the miles and miles of traffic I have to sit through every day at the mo.

Must resist modding it :D

Spec'c'57 25 September 2008 02:44 PM

Likewise also then ;) mind out for Tw@t's pulling across in front of you. Will post a piccie tonight of the escort my mate tried to drive through. :eek:

Adidas 25 September 2008 06:56 PM

First thing is to throw away the endcan & system for a full race system it will breath easier & sound great, then get some braded hoses for those brakes + racing fluid for the brakes, next after a few months change the rear sprocket by one tooth for more mid-range & better acceleration & so on & so on:D

if you need help or advice i'm here for you(pimp my ride):lol1:

wozzaa 26 September 2008 07:20 PM

I think I've got a brand new oil filter still in the box in the shed for this Cookster.

cookstar 26 September 2008 09:17 PM

:norty:

It has been "dyno jetted" whatever that means??..


Changing the rear sprocket, whats that about then.



Must resist, must resist. :D

Have my CBT booked for the 1st, then my practical test on the 17th :)
