    Go on - You know you really want the ringa ding shit.....
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

    neither looks great - The VTR is better though. Just make sure you do the right things to it before you ride it...

    What are you doing with the old Bros??

    Hey I'm not sure if you are planning to sell off your bros for parts but my flatmate is after the front disc if it is any good still.
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.

    grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... ..


    umm now my old man has convinced my young mind to get the swingarm re-bent and shove some cbr600f2/f3 forks on her [they fit straight on] and we'll rebuild the zorst [engineers are good like that] and blah blah.......

    please not due to my x chromosome i am likely to chenge my mind and do irrantional things....

    also its a huge loss in money selling the bros, if i fix her up i should be able to get 4-5k for her.....thats if i can get the swingarm done......

    Could you not get a swing arm from a wreckers ? If it is steel it should not be too hard to strighten they really only need to be dead true in one plane , two if you consider twist.
