I was at the F1 in Monaco. Me and two mates drove down last week through France and Italy, did abit of touristy shit and ended up at the house in Italy about half an hour from Monaco. We had shit tickets as everything else was mega expensive, up on the hillside overlooking the second to last and last corners. It was alright until it came to race day... It was absolutely rammed, so bad that we f**ked it off and were going to watch it on the big screen in the bar. Waited round for ages and on the way to the bar we found a gate we could stand on and look over a fence, actually had a decent view despite it being very painful on the feet. About 30 laps in to the race a security guard came along and told us to get down, so pissed off because we now couldn't see a thing. He went away so we got back up, got another 15 laps through and he came back and told us to come with him... At this point we thought we were being thrown out. He led us down to a passage way which we thought lead us to a security hut or something where we were going to get bollocked, we walk round the corner and with a smile on his face he directs us in to a grandstand! With utter disbelief we shook him by the hand and watched the rest of the race from some €450 seats with our noses through the catch fence! I've never had a day improve that much start to finish!

Really liking the Goose, I love 1970s/80s/90s Japanese bikes, and that one looks really clean. Really really clean, in fact - did someone just keep it mint or has it been rebuilt?
I recently bought another NSR250 (with GSX forks as it happens) to do some track days. It has a V5 and daylight MOT too which is convenient ; )
It was built by a guy who knows his stuff from the bare frame up, MC21SP engine, dry clutch, rebuilt crank, only 2000km on the full engine rebuild, vapour blasted cases etc, aftermarket pipes, Tyga rearsets, really nice job he's made of it. I haven't actually ridden it yet.
Cheers, I bought the Goose pretty much as it stands but it started out the same as my original Goose here:
The main reason I bought it was because it had been painted and had a fair bit of money spent on it, could do with a rebuild again now though as I spent most of last year thrashing it on track haha.
That is the perfect 2 stroke you've got there, exactly as I'd want one, full on race bike for the road! Bet it'll be mega to ride.
14 hours ago, LEON said:Cheers! Yeah it's a K3, I was looking at K6/K7 750s, same model/look as your 600, as they were going for about £3600+ but in the end I gave in to power! It is stupidly fast, and stupidly loud, just how I like it! But I really don't need a bike that does 100mph in first gear, I don't think I've been out of 3rd gear yet....can't wait to take it to Brands Hatch though.
Definitely need your Brembo master cylinder too! I just sold my RSV Factory which was dripping in Brembo and the brakes were amazing, these ones in comparison are scarily shit for a bike like this.
Ahh very nice! Yeah the 750's are abit more expensive, the main reason I bought this in September last year rather than picking one up this spring was because of the price (£3.5k) and all the extras it came with, those are Brembo HPK discs aswell, £550 a set new... I'm liking the early big bikes like yours more and more as time goes on, just really like the looks of it. At the same time I do like the little touches on mine like the intergrated indicators, really cleans the back end of it up.

I don't think I've ever put any pictures of my bikes up so here goes. I have a few others besides these but here are my main two:
First up is my 1991 Suzuki Goose, its a DR350cc engined little cafe racer grey import. This is the second one of these I've had and its just the best. 33bhp from the factory so its not mega quick but it handles and stops so well it means you ride it flat out everywhere!
Next up is my newest toy, my GSXR 600 K6. I was really wanting some more speed after my Goose and this does not disappoint, even after owning it for 6 months I still can't believe how fast it is when it gets between 14,000-16,000 rpm. So glad I got my test passed before the rules changed or else I wouldn't be allowed to ride this yet!

I would love that with some slightly less bright wheels, looks smart though. I only really know the 600/750's but is it about a K4?
I've got a K6 600, can't imagine how fast that 1000 is haha.

Conti would be my first choice but if you're looking to spend a little less, the dmr Moto Rt tyres are pretty good. 2.4 rear and 2.2 front should do the trick.
This is correct. Moto RT's are such a good cheap tyre, granted the Conti's will be better but RT's shit all over Holy Rollers.

Then just hook out the ones you like as they go by.
Hook-a-f**k

In that case you'll be happy to know its a disc only frame!

Thats gotta be my old frame, its a Lynx, explains why the rear Pro 2 has been modified to 116mm.

If you took that thing outside I'm pretty sure someone will have killed it with fire within the first 5 minutes.

An airline... if you have access to one haha.

I wondered the same thing on mine but guessed it was related to stress. Either way I would of bought them anyway as they were £60 brand new.
-
Its being rebuilt atm but needs new rotors as the trial zone are bent, I could straighten them but then it wouldn't be perfect would it
-
Pretty much brand spanking new Trialtech Sport forks for £40.00, winner!
The Maggie ones on ebay?

Bank balance starting to recover after the mad series of unexpected and necessary spending over the last few weeks.

Well... how can I put it? Oh I know:
...
p.s.: I know who Muel is.
He's my brother? He's obviously going to say its gay, as its mine... and that fact he's a cock. You could show him any trials bike ever made and he would says its gay. Except for one, his Simtra ST-1.

Yes, or at least have the rule that people shouldn't post their own bikes.
Because you keep banging on about how people shouldn't be allowed to post their own bikes I'm going to give you a big middle finger and pop mine up, even though everyones probably already seen it. I hope it winds you up.
P.S. I hope it doubly winds you up that its not even a street frame!

Who are you to say that it is?
Would you like to show me where I said it was the best looking bike?
-
This is absolutely NOT the best looking 24'' street bike and proves my point that people shouldn't post their own bikes.
Who are you to say it isn't the best looking bike? Its all just personal preference. Anyway, my 24" is blatantly the best looking bike in the world. So there. I win. Ner.

Well I totally disagree, I find them grippy as hell rain or shine and have never pinched a tube, yes I do run DH tubes in the back but I'd rather do that and never get punctures.
It is a street bike, just one with a high BB.
