    ducatilover's squidtastic pile of crap

    I decided to smash my bike to bits just to please you lot with another crap streetfighter build....

    Story of the bike: Purchased for fuck all as a ZZR400K, motor was crap as one would expect having a massively ghey 58hp...picked up a complete (minus fairings and straight forks) ZZR600D/ZX6D and did an engine swap. Simple, went pretty well to say the least and had some sexual stainless twin cans on it. Was pretty darn near mint as I threw countless hours at a bike I always wanted.....as ya do.

    So I was practicing wheelies, did a wheelie big one and fucked the bike and hurt myself a wee bit ('tis only a flesh wound)

    And here we are, the bike looks like Hiroshima.... forks = munted. Triple clamps = munted. fairings? Fuck, they're dumb anyway. Rear rim is cracked (Shh don't laugh)

    Plans: Simple front end for now, single headlight and maybe a belly pan.
    Fix the mufflers, may go shorty on their arses.
    Swap my spare rims onto it.
    Have found an RS250 esque single seat unit. Might be good for a laugh. Don't want to throw my spare rear fairings on, they're bigger than Russia and about as sexy as finding crabs in a hamburger.

    Definitely a single seat and I may have the most awesome mod in the pipe for a speedo, thanks to having genius mates, it's a secret though.

    Fixed that for ya !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Well if you were riding a bike from last centry you would have only had to replace the number 8 wire that broke and you woulda been able to carry on

    All that from a wheelie!

    How the F did you crack the rear wheel?

    I'd be inclined to see if the frame was straight before throwing $ at it if it has had enough force to crack your rim.

    It was potentially a good wheelie. Bike went end over end and corkscrewed a few times.
    I have a spare bike (Stupid 400) minus forks and fairings So, I don't care about the frame. I have taken off what I can, my energy and strength is very limited currently, but, I cannot see any cracks. Will look closer tomorrow and measure it up etc.

    I have no idea how the rim cracked, I'm going to hang it on the wall
