Hey everyone!!!!!!!!

Well after 10 months and nearly $10000 later MY K5 GSX-R600 IS BACK ON THE ROAD!!!!

It now has a Ohlins steering damper, full Yoshi system and some sticky Racetech tyres... it still needs a few more things, but is almost there!!!

It will be on a race track near you in a late November to early December :niceone:

Unfortunately probably not, once i get a new headlight the next thing on the list is the race fairings... so we will see how i go...

The bike is soooooo awesome, its like riding it for the first time all over again, so smooth, and razor sharp handling...

Lets hope it stays upright a little longer this time, eh TS? (p/t)

Seriously though, it's grand (all 10 of them.. badamtssshh) to see your baby back together. Those pics of "her"(?) afterwards brought a tear to my eye when you posted them.

So are you doing the F2 series next season?

excuse my ignorance chris....but what happened mate...????

as sAsLEX said, went for a slow cruise (i was riding with a bloody BMW!!!), front tucked up and lowsided (possible oil???), hit a 100x100 post with the tank and rear subframe, then hit the bank and did a few cartwheels (bye bye front forks main frame and fairngs)...

Cheers everyone for the nice comments... If i only lose my licence for 3 months, i will definately be racing at Paeroa... And the Endurance 300 at Pukekohe is a confirm as well on this bike...

Might try make Manfield for the nationals in F2, otherwise ill do the nationals on a 2006 GSX-R600...
