What to do with the FZR?

[Drew]

I'm after ideas, I'm over the stunt bike idea, requires too much time and to be honest...skill.

So I have an FZR750 that needs a new guise.

Skelstar and I were talkin it over last night over some inspirating beverages, and didn't seem to get far, so what do you lot think?

It's been a road bike, a race bike, and a stunt bike. The new look still might find itself on the track, if Jimbo and Sean get their collective shit together, so get the creative juices flowing, and give us some feed back.

[Gubb]

Motard it.

[skelstar]

...if Jimbo and Sean get their collective shit together...
Ok, so while I never had any racing days technically, I think they're over now anyways.

...besides I was all brimming with good ideas (and inspiring beverage too) but YOU got stuck and fussy when we were talking about what colour we were going to paint it.

Still reckon Matte Olive is the way2go.

Thinks...

Or urban camo then it would look ripe for drifting:blip::devil2:

Nah, wasn't thinking of camo patterns. Just a flat Matte Olive Drab ... oh, now I see your point.

Flat-tracker stylez maybe?

[flame]

I reckon we just give it to Skels to race it in Clubbies, and Jimbo600 in Post classics. And it needs to be pink!!!!

[skelstar]

Are you into the Red again Vic? Its only 4:30pm!

No "more" racing for me, worked out at Xmas that if I'm not a racer.



keep an eye on that post number Vic! ... nearly 749!

I did think of this also, and that will be the end result. But at the moment, I wanna do something different with it.

I've still got most of the bits to make it look right again, albeit in need of some panel attention. I made sure I had a new tank before frenchy and I jumped on the old one to make high chairs a bit easier.

[Weaver]

Street fighter perhaps

[scracha]

Throw in a genesis 1000 motor and give Carver.

[Quasievil]

make it a gear crash test bike and offer the makers the chance to crash test there gear on a 100 kmph low slide, get a willing rider, you can charge $500 per test.

then test it at 200kmph on a high side and get carver to ride it......... and we will all pay to watch !!

I'm the perfect candidate for crash testing gear, incidently, those gloves of yours were very good. The armour on the knockiles stood up to the massive tyre stack hit and protected my already very broken hand from permanent disfigurment.

But I'd rather not actually plan on dropping it over and again.

Work starts this weekend too, so out with the ideas.

Sidecar? Hovercraft? Gnarly looking trike?

Stick the engine in one of these - http://www.sylva.co.uk/riotR1.html?

Ummmm, leave it alone, build a wall of death in your back garden and ride that around it? (yes, I stole this idea - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090993/)

Well I don't know - try below?????

Pre 89 race bike in Doohan colours

[Drew]

It's been a race bike, I wanna do sumpin cool with it.

Street fighter seems the best idea.

Searching google images doesn't inspire me a lot, they all look kinda the same. I wanna do it different like.

[merv]

Yeah a street fighter; paint it pink it pink for Str8 Jacket, and yeah I'm home as of now - good to be back to these cold temperatures - yeah right!!

[riffer]

Kickaha's onto it.

[Coyote]

Dragster.

Wheelie bar, extended swingarm, nitrous, turbo, one of those big crazy looking aerodynamic tails, flat rear wheel, RG50 front wheel, etc.

[roadracingoldfart]

Turn it back to a race bike and then Nicksta can ride it next year in P/C senior and we can get a new rider for the junior bike lol.

Lets start the first P/C girl team :woohoo:
Then we can have Nicksta , Scracha , and a new rider for the CBR. Yeah....

Maybee im a pervert and just wanna see Scracha in a skirt :eek5: i believe they all wear skirts in his homeland anyhow so no dramas

He could be on to something there Drew! Coincedentally, I have actually been thinking about giving drag racing a go.... :whistle:

You're sitting at home with a broken ankle thinking about going drag racing? Shit, you're more hardcore than I thought.

Dave

[driftn]

Beach racer, Extreeeeem motor cross, Chopper, or a good old fashond bike burning. All of which are good ideas:yes:

[skelstar]

Go without sex for more an extended period of time and tell me what YOU start thinking about lots...



...apparently if you go without riding a bike for an extended period of time you think about sex alot anyways! (apparently)

Hillclimb bike!

Not like the cliffhanger but like the one they do at the cold Kiwi, closest to the top of a crazy steep slope wins sort of shit.

Lengthen the swingarm and put a quad tyre or fat spikey thing on the back!

This sort of shit (http://indymotorspeedway.com/j/01/01hill.htm)

[Matt Bleck]

Beach racer, :yes:

+1, it'd be great fun with knobbles on!

[merv]

Hey you don't know someone like that do you, that'd be sad eh :(.

I've been thinking about doing drag racing too. Once I'm out of Weltec and earning money I'm thinking of getting a speedway 500cc methanol engine for the minimoto. I'd have to buy a ladder for the swingarm.

(p/t, but if I had the money....)

[munterk6]

wack a side-car unit on and give it to an ad company to use in adverts for responsible fuel usage ....... :innocent:

[Drew]

Doubt that would work, it doesn't comply with any emisions standards, and wouldn't tow a side chair if it was made to.

But if it stood out enough, and had a large flat surface, I could indeed rent space out on it to an ad co.

[koba]

My vote is still for a silly hillclimb bike (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c_7fRq_19s&feature=related).

Not that serios tho, just somthing to piss about on.

[Clivoris]

Yep. I like the Hill Climb idea. Still some time before the cold kiwi. Plan b has to be a flat tracker.
