Ok, I am at work and very tired, grumpy and about to commit murder. I just wonder what stage I could be considered insane ,or just bi polar? This not being able to ride for months on end is doing me in...

I was like that when i worked in Saudi 6 months at a time and no bike , i did try to buy a scrap cb750 four from a police pound but they got a bit funny and started waving guns around so i gave up on that one and had to wait till i got back to the UK ,thats when i had a moto martin and the Hailwood rep and i rode them both for two whole weeks Very Happy before retuning to the land of Sand Shocked

I do get time to rent bikes every now and then. I was in Dallas a week back and picked up a vfr for the day which helped. Chicago is hopeless to find good routes so most of the time on the east coast I dont bother. Crying or Very sad

As I have a GSXR1100L to play silly buggers with on a drag strip, what bits have you got left?

All the best

Hi

Could be tempted with the plastics, mirrors maybe and possibly other odds and sods.

Not sure about the swinging arm. Mine has a longer Spondon arm, but a stock one could be useful to have floating around.

All the best

Bue/white of course the fastest colour Laughing
It's not mint, it's too good to scrap too, nice blue screen and perspex headlight protector. £50 to make more room in my garage?
Wink

(or swap for something shiny and useful) Laughing
