I am very much contemplating dump pipes/straight pipes lol They will be so loud tho, good and bad at the same time.

It's on broadway near the roundabout in newmarket, well thats where finda says it is lol. The bike hasn't arrived yet kyle but I will post plenty of "before" pics. Hehe buy a gb500 kim you'll love em.

Yeah that GB500 is nice but it is modified bored to 599cc. Does not have a pillion seat which is a pity (I need to pillion someone). I have always like bikes to be original. Other than that it is a perfect GB500...i might try a classic European bike this time

I should have that c95 very soon, so your going to have some competition on your hands. Going to be a while till i get it running though.

**klyong82** · 15th April 2008, 15:12

Super classic bike competition.....gotta get one at least 400cc and above to beat you all.

**motorbyclist** · 15th April 2008, 15:18

heck the nc30's a classic, and mine is in original 1989 fairings with race replica paint ('cept i painted the rims)... only non standard parts on that bike to my knowledge are the rectifier, air filter, fuel line segment from tank to T junction and a few structural cable-ties.

beat that

**glice** · 15th April 2008, 15:55

I'm keen to come along.

i might try a classic European bike this time

have you owned a classic european vehicle before? when they are going its AWSOME, but they are alot of work and like to be difficult. only do it if you can really be botherd. having said that I would jump at the chance

I am very much contemplating dump pipes/straight pipes lol They will be so loud tho, good and bad at the same time.

that would be cool my 74 cb200 had straight pipes and it sounded amaizing.

Thats not the GB500 on here is it?
The hump on that is a soft pillion seat, looks bloody good for material and not a cover.

Is pool night definitely on since I'll be offline pretty much after 5 tomorrow and was planning to head straight over after 8.30 from Ponsonby?

Depends on *which* euro car you get. Probably same principle applies with bikes. Am getting used to working on the Aprilia.

Not classics late 90's. Willing to give it a go. I suppose it is the same with european cars...bmw cars for example when it works it is the best car but once a problem comes up endless problems come after another.
