[Decent TGS Mod for sub £500]

I can't use forums properly...

https://www.facebook.com/groups/251876548219260/

There's a GU mod with ok specs for £350 on this group.

Cheers bro! I've requested an add so I will have a ganders.

Yeah i'm still here for a couple more months, give me a shout if you're down!

What's the spec of the Aorta? Those frames were quite nice.

Sweet! Looks like it's gonna happen, I need pedals though.. Are DMR V8/12's still the item of choice?

I don't know if they did long or short Aorta's, but its mostly Monty kit. This is a direct copy from the ad:

Hope pro 2 front hub

Monty front rim

Monty eagle front tyre

Avid xo front brake with hope rotor

Monty stem

Monty bars

Monty cranks

Magura hs33 rear brake raceline newer shape lever.

Echo clamp.

Monty rear hub

Try all rear rim

Monty eagle rear tyre

Seems like it'll do the job. I've got an Avid BB7 laying around so if the front disc is pony I can whip that on. It's pretty cheap so I wont mind spending a bit of bunse on it to get it up to scratch! Hoping the driveline is decent too.

Joe f**king She-man.

Get on the classifieds here, seems to be a fairly decent turnover of bikes and parts still. I'm equally out of touch though, but that owes mostly to my militant street-or-nothing mentality.

Cheers fellas! I'm going to Hove tomorrow to look at an Aorta mod. It's got an Avid XT hydro front disc, will that be pony?

Also Matt, you down that way still? I'll bring it by and you can have a poke at it!

[How much do you pay for mortgage / rent per month?]

£450pcm with bills for a room in Leigh, Essex! Right where I need to be though and we basically share the flat. Looks like I'm paying mortgage money though!

[Decent TGS Mod for sub £500]

So yeah, decided to pick up trials again to keep fit. I think I want a mod this time, I've always had stock and enjoyed it, but I want something different (and easier) to ride. Browsing through the forums I feel quite out of touch with trials now, seems there are many new brands since 4 odd years ago when I last was riding! What would I be looking at to buy? Ideally I'd like to be spending £350-400 but money speaks volumes with trials. What are the brands to go with and avoid? Can anybody recommend something (and somewhere) to buy a decent rig? I want something that will ride urban/street nicely as I'm way more inclined to TGS than any kind of natural riding, so maybe something long with a high BB rise.

The only decent bike I've seen is a Zhi ZM3 on ebay so far, seems the market is scarce! Is something along those lines any good?

Cheers

[The Motorbike Thread]

Opinions please....

Triumph Daytona 675 (not R) or Yamaha R6.

I fancy trying a sportbike and I've seen a couple of the above that I like and shall be test riding both, just thought someone here may have some experience of owning either that they may wish to contribute.

675 any day of the week. Judging by your choice I would say you're leaning towards 2co or 13S R6? Far too peaky for the road, virtually no useable power. The 675 however is a blinding machine, and more than capable on track too. Plus that triple soundtrack and the raw induction noise is reason in itself! No brainer!

On a side note, glad to see this thread is still going! (I used to use this forum ages ago, but I can't access my old account.

Think I had my Telefonica K2 GSXR600 when I last posted! I lived in Oz and had a J1 ZX6R, K1 750 (Yoshimura EVERYTHING), a couple of dirt bikes (YZ125/250) and then came back, bought my old Telefonica back and then sold it in 2013. Had a E46 BMW for winter, then bought a CB500 (right laugh, upset all my friends on 600 sport bikes in the lanes) and a K1 GSXR1000 which I still currently have! Spent a fortune on it, Brembo MC, 5VY R1 monobloc brakes, K4 1000 forks, Power Commander and Quickshifter, TRE, Akrapovic system to name a few bits. Love the thing! She moves so well for an old bus; I most of 2014 upsetting trackday 'heroes' on sorted S1K's that they couldn't ride them.

Yet still, I find myself looking to sell it and get something like a 675, which shows how good they really are! Knew that story was relevant somehow.

Sorry for the life story, figured I'd make a post worth posting on this limited count!
