Got the Blackbird :oD

Post by WayneM »

Hi All

Well I got the Blackbird yesterday and rod it back from Manchester-4hrs in the saddle, after a little detour to Dels, and not even the wiff of an aching back or numb elbow!

Fug me its quick!! Only problem that I will need to sort out are the tyres-Macadams front and rear-Bloody Awful!

Cheers

Wayne,

not wot I heard mate, Jen said ya ass looked all swollen mate. See also said ya nearly dropped it turning it around in me garden. Why did ya not just park out d front, dooh. Ain't add a chance to look at ya forks yet mate, will do on tuesday if I get a chance.

Glad to here it ok mate, how many miles it done then? Did ya buy it off anybody we know? How many mpg's it do then? Ya VTR will feel dead after riding it for a couple of months, need moriwaki cams, ummmmm

haha I thought your missus was staring at my butt but I didnt like to say anything - especially as I was staring at her tits!!!!!! Bwahahahahaha!

Yeah, I did nearly drop it! That bloody back garden of yours is a nightmare - couple that with the fact that the Blackbird is a few Kgs heavier then the VTR and its no wonder I nearly dropped the fecking thing!

Thought it safer round the back, especially with those twats next door to you - would have been just my luck for some monkey on his BMX to ride into it or try and nick it!!!

I brought it from someone at work (person I was going to buy the Pan from) Its on a T Plate and done 7k miles. MPG wasnt fantastic but I was cruising at a ton most of the way (except for when the reserve light came on in the middle of no where at which point I shat my pants and dropped down to 65mph!)

Speak to you later

cheers
