The Xmas fairy, new members and a sense of pride

Postby bt1 » Sat Oct 27, 2012 6:55 am

Howdy new members,

So you've been reading for a while, got a few ideas together but haven't got a start yet?

Want to glaze up at the Xmas fairy in awe drinking your own made quality drop with friends and family?

Got an opportunity to say to mates on boxing day, yeh it's not bad hey...I made it!

Get posting..time is running out for Xmas...No such thing as a dumb question just some better researched.

Get a start, get sourcing parts, take the plunge!

We don't bite so ask away!

A no build weekend, bored shitless

very true bt...newcomers beware of the copper abis, a place you never come back...copper addiction. Once you build one well you just to build one better and better. Be bold and dare to tread where other may not, this is the way to true self satisfaction. :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Due to "legal" restrictions under anti hoon legisaltion the answer is no

But I've legally (my name) had:

2003 sp2( castrol kit, Akopovic full titanium, power commander and power shifter, factory heads (Colin Edwards version) 112KW approx)
2000 VTR1000
1998 VTR1000
Ducati 851
Ducati 888 P.O.S.
Yamaha TRX850
plus about 3 or 4 more dating back to the Yamaha 650 twin with a 850 kit

Raced for several years... avg at best but enjoyable.

cheers

Sheesh you like your V-twins... I am a four cylinder person myself, have previously had a bunch of 250s, then CBR600F3, GSXR600, ZX6R, ZX7R, GSXR1000, ZX10R... Currently have a 2005 ZX10R with a full Yoshi kitt, and a GSXR600K1 (track bike)... The SP2 colin edwards version is one of my five dream bikes, rode the standard edition once, found it a bit low on power but still great to ride, awesome front end...

Good list there!

Got a deal from a mate on a Ducati Diavel a few weeks ago. Loving it. Not sure how long I will keep it, think I will sell it and move on again soon.
