Walking the dog

[XP@]

Highly recommended pastime... must do it more often!

I took my dog, Rusty, for a walk to the shop yesterday and came back with the promise of a free bike.

a couple of hours later I had an non-started unregisterd 1990 CBR600 with 7 years of cobwebs on my driveway. Total cost 4 cans of DB! :banana:

1/2 hour later she started! :lol:

Just need to free up the front disks and give the carbs a clean and it should be a runner!!!

how happy can I be :) - to be given the bike of the dreams of my youth!

:2thumbsup :2thumbsup

Please tell me it's not boysenberry (whoops, sorry, red) and white...

[crashe]

But, what will it cost you to re register it and also get her up to WOF standard?
If the bike has been sitting for that long, what are the tyres like as well....

[MSTRS]

You paid too much. At least it was only DB :shutup:

it is red and blue with a sinkissed and flakey look (needs some tlc in that department)

The side and rear panels do exist, but I took them off before I took the photo, they are in okish condition

Yeah. Reckon.
I got my XBR500RS Mutant with no beer changing possession (apart from the beers I was provided when I painted my sister's roof).

But then I guess it was only 5/6th of the bike the CBR is....

Ummmm any chance of you taking another pic with the garage lights on....lol
the pic is rather dark to really see it properly... thanks...

You lucky bastard, hey has anybody got a dog I can borrow??

Tyres are completely wasted... the front is down to the canvas on the sides...

After a quick calc worst case scenario would be:

Battery $50
Fork dust seals $25
Fork oil seals $39
Tyres f150 + r200
Sparkplugs $114 (bloody 'ell!)
oilfilter 23
breakpads (fullset) 180
chain 160
sprockets 90
fluids 50

On road costs 300 (wof, reg + test etc)

total $1342

Plus paint... cost dunno...

So, not so free really, but it is a darn fine excuse to have another bike!

Oh mean. Congrats on the bike dude! Would be a cool stunting bike if you were into that.

[toads]

excellent score, when the bike is wofed and regd it is still a damned fine deal for what it has cost you.

Would like to learn a few :-)
Just have to keep them out of site of the missus...
It even came with a rear tyre ripe for a burnout, but not enough power to squish a fly :-(

And thats why you are going to spin those spannners then. Top work mate, and all the best for the upcoming restoration:2thumbsup:

S'funny. Suzuki never made GSXR600s until 1997.

Not sure what drugs you're on Gav.

Good looking bike and should be pleanty of fun once finished. I see there are plenty of blouses here as DB Draught would have to be the best beer in my opinion. Bleeding tea totalers :bash:

[Hitcher]

Who wants a Gixxer when the object of childhood wet dreams (apart from Samantha Fox) was a CBR600? :lol:
