Hendrix's rifle Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Oooo ZZ's are a heavy old lump as well. Its that time of year when the road surfaces get slippery ☹ although I use to love this time of year when I had my KTM exc 👍 knobblies front and rear, sideways in and sideways out, great times 😎 Your not wrong my ccm 604 and ktm 525 were sideways constantly, didn't mind it and you had a laugh. If you drop it you pick it up with no fairing damaged! Full plastic kits what 80 quid now? Try finding fairings for mine because it's a bit of a 1 off colour scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is buying fairings from a breaker when ever you find them at a good price. Never come in wrong a spare set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to keep all my road bikes the right way up lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never come in wrong a spare set. I've been putting off buying crash bobbins for a while because we're moving out next week touch wood so been saving what we can! As for the breakers, the fairings seem difficult to come by in the same colours which is a PITA, tried lots of places now to no avail Exactly - as long as I was wearing my impact shorts and body armour I felt the risks were minimal 😉 I did take a few tumbles but nothing major.

I did keep a GSXR for a while with intentions of a track bike but it was far to clean for that. Did a few quarter mile meetings then moved it on.

Theres nothing worse than seeing some poor commuter bullied into the ****e in the gutter with people over taking. Have you thought about doing direct access to have any size bike? It will possibly be used to go to one one or two days a week when I'm based at the office. Most other days I'm out and about doing home visits and assessments so would need my car for this as I use my phones sat nav to find all the addresses. Apart from the odd day going to the office its mostly for fun, and getting about town, to mates and down to the gym quickly really Also I don't want anything that'll kill myself With a 125 if I pass the full test what's the top speed you can go? I'd just worry about buying a bike and then having to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
