    you have to put the link in different format tags ,img src="your link goes here" /. (replace the , and . at each end with their upper parts < and > respectively)also handy if you have an image which is too large, as you just include a ' width=640' after the link

    I decided the swing arm was as ugly as my last missus. So, I gave it some love.

    Then polished it. Click image for larger version.

    It's a bit tatty, but at $50, who gives an Egyptian babies front bum fart?
    So, on the list for tomorrow:
    Polish radiator tanks (Yes, that's right...)
    Polish ignition pick-up cover.
    Polish rear sets.

    Quite a decent day I must say. Still can't have a tug, dumb broken hand.

    Even if I snap my thumb off I'll still get some done, because I'm fucking awesome.

    Still looks a bit strange, like it has one too many sides or something

    seat unit looks pretty choice

    Did you see it all happen btw? Or were you rolling too much?

    I am just curious as to how many times your bike bounced, and what speed etc?

    Story of the bike: Purchased for fuck all as a ZZR400K, motor was crap as one would expect having a massively ghey 58hp...picked up a complete (minus fairings and straight forks) ZZR600D/ZX6D and did an engine swap. Simple, went pretty well to say the least and had some sexual stainless twin cans on it. Was pretty darn near mint as I threw countless hours at a bike I always wanted.....as ya do.

    So I was practicing wheelies, did a wheelie big one and fucked the bike and hurt myself a wee bit ('tis only a flesh wound)

    And here we are, the bike looks like Hiroshima.... forks = munted. Triple clamps = munted. fairings? Fuck, they're dumb anyway. Rear rim is cracked (Shh don't laugh)
    So.....what is the workshop hours to riding hours ratio with this kind of 'hobby'????

    I saw it all, I only rolled once. Bike bounced and cartwheeled quite a few times, I'd have to say at least four complete flips.
    Was doing around 80-90k

    Uh.... I don't want to know. It spent hours in the workshop getting a new motor and all sorts of other bits and bobs...now the motor is going back to the frame it came from
