How do ladies, how's everyone doing? Having missed my one opportunity to meet everyone at the Grain meet I'd still quite like to RV with people in the Sarf East so when is the next event planned? I can just about remember how to do all the oily things to a Firestorm so happy to help out when the next one comes around.
As for my current ride, I sold the Firestorm and bought an old K4 1000 which was a total flipping disaster, needed new rings, valve stem oil seals and a bunch of other things. Having dropped the engine out no fewer than four times I scrapped it and sold it for parts, and in so doing made more than I paid for it! Go figure... Also bought a 996S for an absolute steal (£2k), tidied it up and flogged it for £4500!
That allowed me to buy my latest squeeze, my seventh GSXR 1000 and my fifth K5/6
The club just keeps on growing

I've never known anyone change bikes like you Mark
That's a lovely looking GSXR you have there, you can beat the blue on white colour scheme IMHO for a GSXR
Nice one on the Duke

You can remind your wife that you haven't part exchanged her, so she must be perfect
