    It was a no brainer buying the GSI.

    Its not "mint" but its certainly very presentable

    And my dad does the classic bikes, old BSA's are cool

    I need to commit more to the nova, and stop buying/playing with other toys

    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.



    I have now machine polished my dailey van too:





    Then the new toys:D

    Its a Suzuki GSXR 600, K3, 2003 model, with only 4800 miles from new, fella in work has it for a while, always garaged never seen rain etc. I fell in love with her, and couldnt say no at the money he wanted

    Also, went to a meet at demon tweeks and got talking to a couple of members off here, and a fella with a c20xe chevette, running 250bhp.





    Im interested in the alternator setup, as mine fouls the carbs

    I also spotted some cool as **** cars around chester last week:





    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



    Couldnt believe it, £30k car, robbed and ruined like this

    That gsxr is beautiful, best colour scheme too. Quite a collection of playthings you've got there.

    Any lottery win info to share ?

    Is it fook

    Keep buying more toys

    Yeah, I'd be bored of a 400 fairly quick, nothing beats 115whp at 15k rpm

    Is yours done yet? It's only a redtop conversion, weekends work.

    This has involved a lot more
