what have you done to your "bike" today
Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Been working on RXNine in prep for it's sale... Long story short the potential new owner dosen't want the bling bits.
So the rearsets* have come off & replaced with standard ones, the shonky undertray* with the twin lights has come off, Carbon mudgurd & hugger** are off, the ART cans & link pipes*** are off. Today has mainly been spent changing the loom as the one on it had been chopped to fit the shonky undertray...Also replaced the std undertray as the one on it had been butcherd to fit the shonky undertray...
* Both already sold...
** Going into the stash...
*** For sale...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
The new owner clearly has no taste. Bet they don't turn up with the cash....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Wont be till the end of August, I'll let you know...
FYI they do have some taste they have a Red Storm already & they dont want the polished wheels either despite the fact they have bran new tyres on them.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Had some plastic surgery!
After a good look in the mirror I decided it was time to do something about my aging man boobs and have them removed.
Out with the old and time to start a new chapter.
I must say, I’m pretty pleased with the results.

Sorry Chris
I could have written that better.
My old bike was often referred to as wearing an old saggy granny bra for a fairing. Also I had to beware of parking next to bins or it might confuse some aging Firestormer with the rest of the recycling

Sadly I've sold my storm to help fund this, but it's going to a good home and one of my oldest friends.
Picture off internet.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Nice looking bike Pete, will be interest to see how it suits Scotland roads. Did you get your shock fitted yet?
Popkat, didnt have you down for one of these, but if you are going to cram in a few Europe tours, it might be perfect. Did you keep the Kat version too?

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Well done, Mac, you can't be lazing about playing with bikes all your life... On second thoughts, erm,....
Hope it goes well, and that they honour existing holiday commitments for Wales
