Nothing I'd like more than to let it rest, all it was, was a heads up. I ride with Paulus and I'm quite glad he brought up the Fireblade he used to own, imagine if that hapened to you? That was half the reason I posted this thread, I'd rather talk shit about bikes frankly!!

Over and out!

Hey all, I am starletboy1's partner and he is genuinely interested in the Leathers as has been offered a trade for the bike and doesnt have any currently and i am forcing him to at least be safe if he must insist on owning a bike. He was also keen to find out abit more about the history as from the beginning he has insisted on giving as much information on the bike as possible to anyone with legit enquires. The bike is only listed under my name as i wanted to increase my seller feedback and also since im the one making him sell it for some at least cheaper and less powerful. If you dont want to sell the leathers thats fine a reply back along those lines would have sufficed. Does anyone else have leathers for sale? Looking for a set of 2 piece leathers in good condition to fit 6'1, 100kg or there abouts. Will pay up to 600ish for a suitable set. Cheers

Sounds like a similar build to me, maybe a little rounder... keep your eyes peeled in the online trading section, took about 2 months before I came across a set here in chch, so didn't take too long

nah...I think you might have things a bit wrong dude...modern gixxer frames seem bloody strong...they can take a hell of a hiding...there will be exceptions to this of course...

Really? I know several materials scientists who would disagree with this quite strongly. Poor casting quality and poor quality welds were definitely mentioned. YMMV I guess.

care to scan and post these presumably published finding's from these presumablly reputable scientists?? its strange how the japenesse are known as world leaders in casting alloys and welding them...have extremly high levels of quality control...spend millions and million on R&D for their products...have next to no failures...

and yet your mates who must be world leading material scientists reckon they're shit...I think your talking through a hole in your arse...good one mate!

Thats the trouble with scientists - you can always find one to counter the others. Personally i think they do that intentionally.......

**bbbimportsparts** · 13th June 2007, 22:27

well cowpoos the fact that you bought the bike from turners, didnt know the owner or where it was crashed or how bad it was, guess you do now aye, I too knew the bike and the damage it had recieved, as long as it had been fixed properly whats the deal, anyway I'd keep it and come and play in the traffic

what the fuck are you talking about?? I didn't buy this bike...I've never ridden or seen this bike??

I guess you could probally go to eric zoolanders school for kids that don't read good huh? lol [*jk]

gotta love a kb thread.....

there's a bit of something in there for everyone

**Blackflagged** · 14th June 2007, 00:08

Going round in circles,here i know but-A motorcycle is not a car,every piece can be replaced.Including the Main frame,you can measure a frames angles,even build your own(Wonder how long that freedom will last).So if repaired correctly,you may be able to,even improve on factory tolerances.
Looking at it from the seller point of view,does anyone have any facts ,that theres a problem with the bike?Was he a Hippy?Been crashed get it checked.

most modern bike frames are reasonably fine for what they are designed for. sideways or top down impact and... damn.. they don't take it at all as they are not designed for it. repeated wheelies will hairline crack a lot of frames, zx10r 06's have that problem around the headstock mounts same with various other bikes. very hard to see also. you have to be a bit of a ****headed wheelie'r to do that though.... *bwaa-bwaaarrrrrrr clunk* down onto the road... not designed for it.

i have some some 'interesting' zookie frame breaks in the past though. dover knows a bit about this afaik as he's an engineer or something like that.
