what primer, paint etc did you use Steve and are you happy with the result?

I just used halfords grey primer and some 'Audi Black' paint.

Careful that Audi paint, it has a nasty habit of trying to attach itself to the bumper of the vehicle in front!

So I have a 14t front sprocket and a standard rear, My light came on yesterday at 110 miles..... Does the sprocket change mean I got more or less miles then the reading of 110? Just curious :thumbup: Depends what the standard is - can't remember - not sure I ever knew! If you have more teeth on the...

Well my vaguely economical week of riding too and from work, with a couple of damp rides home in the evening, but some rather nice dry runs in in the morning (nothing too silly - honest) resulted in 110 miles and 13.5 litre fill up. So 37 MPG. Nothing astonishing either way.

Looking good there Steve.

Today I just rode mine until the rain ruined the fun.

Then big yellow had a friend over for a play-date

Don't forget to watch out for the birds!

Not a problem mate.

It's going to be musical knowledge, mine's hopefully going to get some CCTs. I might have a play with the TPS whilst the tank is off (and I have my meter).

Marty, you have to see it to believe. Did a wet lap yesterday at very sensible speeds and only a few people out there, but had a full sunshine run today and I can now understand the addiction. Redline in 1st to 5th and holding it to the stop in 6th flying along the ribbon of tar clinging to the sid...

Just stick it in second! :-)

Today I washed my bike and dropped it off a mates as I'm off on holiday tonight :clap: I'm crapping it as I don't like flying well it's not the flying it's the crashing :cry: I'm scared :cry: :lol: see you all in a week incase nointerweb signal :thumbup: I think I'd get the shakes more about having...

Slappa because it's blue it's worth cleaning it mate. I can understand why you wouldn't bother fella! :wave: I shall volley that one straight back at ya :biggrin Indeed, if I had a blue one, I'd be scrubbing it night and day to remove that insidious tint too! :lol: :lol: :lol: Actually, I quite lik...

Hello Girls, finished bitchin or got a little more left in ya? :lol: Plenty left! Been to the gym, went for a blat and then made these exhaust kick plates - http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff502/Kev_VTR/IMG_0202.jpg Looks very nice too... Very clean... Like it hasn't been ridden! :lol: :lol: :l...

Nice :thumbup: I never got into that off-road stuff, I feel I've missed out though! You haven't lived until you've fallen off a high revving unsilenced 250 two stroke, ended up at the bottom of a goo filled ditch with the bike laying on top of you and thought "How the hell did that happen?&quo...

I've just been riding mine, sorry isn't that the idea? :biggrin +1 on that Slappa, at least thats what I thought :think: :lol: :lol: :lol: Had a blast on the way to work this morning too... Loads of cars on my side of the road on the A414, nothing on the other side... Cue some 10+ car overtakes. Mu...

You'll have difficulty beating the build quality of the Honda. If you liked the VTR, why not get another? I know what you mean about the Triumph. I rode a Speed Four review bike (friend wrote for bike mag), and whilst it had great pick up (compared to my carbed CBR6) and was a blast to ride, the bui...

I'm up for the Brentwood meet. I assume it's at the petrol station at the bottom of Brook Street, M25 J28 A12 junction? Then we can roll on to meet the boys from East Lunden at Lake side (assuming I don't get lost on all those f*cking roundabouts down there again!). I get the feeling that I'll be br...
