Now that's got a thing going for it

You're vocabulary never ceases to amaze

It's not 8pm so its not technically late

To be honest it really doesn't need any tuning its already fast enough and I want to keep my licence.....self restraint is the order of the day with the beast

I think its a conspiracy

Can't steal your name change for when you get one

Ahh yes well I'll have to think up a new one

I heard the colours will run

Thanks mate, I'm extremely happy with it though I've just realised I have to change my forum name now.....

My late submission

So my final ride on the ninja definitely was nice even though slightly uncomfortable what with it being a sports bike and me having 260 miles to cover by a moderately reasonable time so I had to push my riding stints longer than I'd been wanting but it was eventually dispatched in around 4 hours or so. A restless nights sleep then followed for one reason or another and I woke slightly later than I'd planned too, so it was a rush around getting ready for the hours ride to where my new steed lay in wait. So the deal was struck with part ex and my taking of the busa after a quick test ride and although I only took it on a 10 minute test ride I'd already bought it in my head. So what can I tell you about the beast ermm well its comfortable and ballistic, vert refined around town happy to bomble around town at 30mph in top gear and it doesn't require dropping any cogs to get it to pick up speed, I shit you not that at 30 in top if you twist the throttle you're at licence losing speeds within about 3 seconds. I'm not sure what if any difference there is between the rider modes as I couldn't really determine any real changes between a, b or c they are all silly fast modes. It's equally extremely happy to blast along at fast m/way speeds with ease 90mph comes around a 5k with an 11k redline. As for comfort I had my tank bag with me so it was something for me to lean on abit though the screen keeps the weight off the hands and wrists on the m/way, the seat is comfortable though it is extremely wide and could do with being abit better contoured as it was digging in to my legs abit making it the limiting of how far I can go in a stint so it's something that I will look to get changed in time. The seat to pegs distance is almost perfect I think another 2 inches more between them and for me it would be literally all day rideable. The bodywork has a few blemishes but it is 13 years old so I couldn't really expect concourse condition but there are a few little bits I'll be tidying up. The only thing that I really need to get sorted is the fueling as it's very jittery on very slight throttle so my first step will be to put some fuel system cleaner through a few tanks and see if that helps.

Well I got to my parents in 4 hours with 3 stops, around 3½ hrs total riding time to cover 260 miles....it was all on closed private roads of course

No from God ....yes a dealer

I bet its definitely true of women....any woman 40 plus will probably never get another job.....

It's being part exchange for the busa, he's offering me 1500 quid for it part ex so not a bad deal for a 20 year old bike with 25k on the clock. It will be 4k cash balance and ride away. I don't think I'm getting a bad deal all in all

Well the time is fast approaching for me to Don the leathers and wend my way south for my final ride on the ninja, it will be a bittersweet ride as it has been a great bike, never let me down bar the battery going flat but that's my fault for not putting it on the optimate, but I can't find the reason why I shouldn't change it for the busa and in any case the busa is insured now so there's no going back. I hope it gives its next owner as good a time as I've had with it over the last 4 years

As you were....

No spandex around here please

I will have mine in on Sunday.....

Well.....tonight I ride south to my parents for the night and tomorrow I pick up the new beasty......I'm like a kid in a sweet shop at the moment. Insurance is sorted £595 all told so far setup and paid for which I though was pretty cheap. Once I pick it up it is a couple of hour ride over to my mates exhaust shop near Peterborough to see about getting a shorty pipe for it so it will be loud enough to wake the dead and everything in my life will be perfect.... Then Sunday I will probably/definitely be out on the bike for a short while so I can see just how it goes round corners and fires me towards the horizon in my backyard playground.... Reports and pics are imminent I feel....if I can stop for long enough to take any..... So laters fuckers

That's slow for a motorcycle ride? We're you in traffic or just practicing your slow speed riding?

Only because they have a hull

Maybe it will teach him.....

Is she Polish?

Looks like el paradise, how come pete doesn't show any greenery?
