I'm interested in how the new ride is! Same as the old one, any different setup etc? How was the Welly' hills? What weekdays do you have off? I'm thinking of an early 2-3 hour ride up north for a brekkie with a view then back. I think EJ is keen and thought you would be too? In a week or two when it's spoil ya self on the bike weather?

And what is >.< ?

18"! really? my dad's '03 r6 has a 17", and as i understand it 17 is the norm (which is why when they made the rvf they ditched the vfr's 18 and went for the 17 "to improve tyre choice")

doesn't matter i run a 160 anyway (and chris tells me it should be a 150, and i think he's right)

Ur correct. The rims are 17 inches. The rear tire diameter face to face is 180 mm. 180/55/R17 front is 120/../R17 I always get this mixed up.

yeah i thought so, but i'm sure a bit of chopping and welding will let you take a single sided 18 like me

or grab a ductai swingarm, underseat exhaust, and maybe a supercharger while you're at it

(bloody westies)
