All this talk of your bikes matt get some pictures up......I also dabble a bit with bikes but not quite the same......got a old bsa c15 trials bike rebuild going on atm!
Anyway car is looking good, keep up the work.
Looking nice Matt, shame to get rid of the red one but I can certainly see the logic in buying this. Good luck with it :thumb:
It was a no brainer buying the GSI.
Its not "mint" but its certainly very presentable:thumb:
And my dad does the classic bikes, old BSA's are cool:d
I need to commit more to the nova, and stop buying/playing with other toyslol

Been a busy few weeks.
Not much has happened on lucy, as Ive been playing KTM and Bought a GSXR600
I have also done my CBT, got my theory and mod 1 bike test coming up.
I did manage to collect my Twin weber DCOE45s off Ben (Sr-Rally)
I also put my wind deflectors on, and had a mince with my inlet manifold, drilling and tapping etc.
I have ordered my misab plates, chokes and rose joints for my gear linkage.
Right then, her indoors 306 died a death, so I have gone and got her another one to run around in, 1400cc, air con, electric everything, 80k, taxed and tested with the gearbox gone £215. BARGAIN imo.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/e83b0a6c.jpg
Went to the scrap yard, and in a corner, behind the crusher sits....
A Nissan Skyline R34 GTR V-Spec.
Turns out it was taken off some chavs by the bailiffs, they then realised it had been robbed, crashed and started to strip it.
Its going "Skidding" in poland. He means drifting I think lol
http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/a270ffa4.jpg
Couldnt believe it, £30k car, robbed and ruined like this:(
Skidding is drifting. Its what the cool kids call it.
bike looks mint matt lovely bike to ride to i have a k2 750 myself and love it best of luck with it ill try get some pics up over the next few days
That gsxr is beautiful, best colour scheme too. Quite a collection of playthings you've got there.
Any lottery win info to share ? lol
surely this is done by now Matt? :roll: lol
The bike looks spot on too, I'm getting bored of the 400 now, I want an R6 :(

Yeah, I'd be bored of a 400 fairly quick, nothing beats 115whp at 15k rpm lol
Is yours done yet? It's only a redtop conversion, weekends work.
This has involved a lot more lol
GSXR looks nice as fook.
Ive never really got the KTM "thing", just an expensive version of a bike to piss about on a field with imo lol
Whats this about a lotto win, explains whats funding all these motors and bits youve been buying then eh ;)
CBR400RR NC29 matey :)Quote:

anyway, show us pictures of the nova or gtfo lol
Was your van broken down on the vx duel carridge way yesterday?
Who the funk said ive won the lotto?
You really think id have a 3k bike if I had....
Its called working, and spending money wisely.
And no not broken down.
I dunno, GSXR is fairly quick, cant wait to get a ducati 1098 though:D
Stick with the gixer at least youll get to where yup want to every time lol 1098 is a nice machine tho IMO the 750 Is the best of the lot much the same to ride as the 600 but just that bit more power
Adam you homo.
KTM's are cool as funk, they faster, ride better and are a lot more UNRELIABLE which is cool.
It came up at the right price, is fully road legal and 1 previous owner. Well looked after etc.
I love it, granted its a dear toy to put round a field, but meh, cant die with your money can you.
eurgh, please don't get a 1098. dukes are for talentless posers lol
Where did your blue Nova go too?
