    ive actually got a bike now,

    I picked up an old GSX-R 400 ( 84) in the weekend.its a bit rough to look at but seems to go well, but could do with a tune.

    its in the red & black colour option. ( Just the way I like it )

    It has a new warrant & plates, so at least ill get through the summer with out having to worry about any surprizes.

    Im finding it plenty quick enough for me, im just trying to get into the feel of handling a bike through the corners again.

    Hope to see you out there.

    Thanks for the invite but i plan to have the bike in bits about then, It needs the carbs pulled off & cleaned, & tuned to the best i can manage, plus one of them is weeping when the bike is sitting ,so i need to sort that.
    & i might do some other things while ive got it apart, ie, plugs,oil maybe.
