This is currently my only motorbike as the GSX-R is gone and I'm sorta saving for a new bike. With the stuff that's on this bike now I'm more proud to show it off on here and add wee bits and pieces to it as I go along. I had the pleasure of riding Rhorys 400 a few weeks ago and I can't wait to get out and scalp the arse off it, but my GSX-R was my winter hack, but alas it is gone, most likely to be replaced with a scooter for the winter duties and A-N-Other bike to sit beside my VFR.

+1 on the suede seat. I'm definitely putting that next on my list after whacking my knackers on the tank at the weekend

Rach just read the post about your latest injury and reckons that luck isn't your best friend at the moment

That is a worry alright. I was fixing the clicks on the brass adjuster part of the forks and there will be clearance issues

It's something I'm gonna have to look into, and should it be necessary I'll go back to a 120/60 and see what happens with that.
