My sexy 3 sexy on wheels

That time for a custom paint job came. It was a 2006 R1 or painting the old faithful. Tough choices have to be made when there's only so much play money in the kitty, and this time the respray won. And what other colour could I possibly consider... GHOSTRIDER BLACK :love:

Big ups to the man, Mr Crazefox. :Punk: You rock fella, excellent job, and the value for money can't be faulted. If any of you guys want a paintjob done, speak to the man.:first:

So here's a quick shot, taken tonight in the garage so doing the baby no justice at all in that light. And a 2nd shot too especially for you know who :shake: :Police:

[Madness]

Nice!! The front looks like a ZX12 at first glance.
:doobey: :doobey: :doobey: :doobey: :doobey: :doobey:

[Sniper]

Looks neat, well done

[zeRax]

big white square looks kinda outa place, think u should take it back off :)

[metric]

awesome... how much did it cost to paint?

[madboy]

awesome... how much did it cost to paint?Prefer not to say. Not sure whether crazefox just did me a hot deal or whether he's happy doing everyone's for that rate ;) But if he wants to post it, he's welcome to. It was a farkin lot less than an 06R1.

Looks good, so where were you tonight......I heard a rumour you had a problem with your front wheel (apart from the fact that it has an uncanny problem of always shooting skyward whilst you accelerate) :2thumbsup

[N4CR]

HAHAHA ARE THEY REAR CHICKEN STRIPS I SEE :shit: ARE YOU A BIT O' A SQUIDULOUS OR SOMETHING? BETTER NOT LET ME DOWN, I'LL BE GHOST RIDER 10 IN A WHILe.

[texmo]

What year is your kwaka madboy? post some deicent sized pics in the sun when you can so we can get a good look at tha paint job.

[Motoracer]

Nice man, Ghost rider black... What's next? No plates, indicators, mirrors etc?

[N4CR]

I'D SAY THATS A 2001 ZX6R BY THE LOOKS OF IT, SO ANY 2001 ZX6R'S IN WELLINGTON DOING RUNNERS LATELy?

[bugjuice]

nice work..
get rid of those bigass indicators and a tinted screen, and it'll be there.. Where the wheels painted too? And did it come with 6pots on the front??

[madboy]

2002 636A1. As far as I am aware those are factory six-pots. I agree on the tinted screen. Also agree cosmetically on indicators, but I like the idea of giving cages as much opportunity to see my indicators as possible. It's okay to subscribe to the ghostrider theory after hours, but I still need indicators and mirrors to commute with a degree of safety. Mirrors are also useful for judging when the hammer needs to be put down too, particularly with ear plugs in :chase:

The front wheel issue got sorted (balance was out) and I've speed tested it ... ahem... and it all seems fine. It's running a bit flat at the moment, which I put down to the dirty dirty dirty air filter it's running.

[Mental Trousers]

Should've painted it orange :bleh:

[bugjuice]

I like your thinking MT..

[GR81]

Quite. You need a set of fluorescent yellow fairings for the commute and the current (rather nice) black ones for ... ummm ... times when you'd rather be a bit more anonymous.

This, BTW, is my theory as to why a Ducati 749 would make a good commuter. It's f'kn huge and yellow. Now, just to run it past her indoors...

get the frame powdercoated, and get a titanium racefit pipe like dovers got and it'll look the shit.

I saw one of those caining around auckland one night, knew it was 2002 but wasnt in quick enough to take the credit! I looked for one like that but couldnt find any on trademe or in the shops.

[madboy]

I'm not really into spending money on making it prettier or faster. I can't ride it well enough for +1 or even +50hp to matter. I like 'em standard. Only reason colour got changed was that it was cost effective in ensuring that in the all important "ratio" one side is more likely to stay at "0" when the other side goes up. If it stayed bright green I wouldn't be confident the ratio would stay like that for much longer.

Tristank, yep, bloody big chicken strips. The front tyre still has the little pointy bits on it - it's done less than 100k, and all mway. The back - yes well, I do spend faarrrrrrr too much time on mways and not enough on twisties. Big girl I am.

[R6_kid]

Big girl I am.

can i play with your tits?

[bugjuice]

you bored of your mums?

[Toast]

Ahhh....memories...

nice bike Madboy, but you're right, that photo does it no justice at all, get your shit together and give us the good stuff, please.

2000 onwards had factory six pots...Tokico if I recall. Not bad at all, but the '03 onwards was a massive step up again.

Flag the R1 if you only ride on the road, I never had much problem with a well ridden one from this site on mine. Track would be a different story but...

[bugjuice]

mine has 4pot.. Tokico tho, with Nissin master cylinders
