    I have a new racebike! She just arrived this morning, an 88 GSXR J. She's a bit rough but is tidying up nicely. Needs a bit of TLC which she'll get soon. Looking forward to some good tracktime on her!

    very nice, there's something about bikes of that era that just tickles my fancy! You got plans for them lights? I may be interested if you're looking to flog em off...

    kudos to you bogan!
    I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

    It's a bit of a squeeze alright Sarge. I could say there's room in the bedroom but that could be contentious. Especially while she's still running a total loss oil system lol
