    If i could buy my first bike again i'd probably try find a spada, they are suppose to be very good bikes, nice and easy to ride too. I may even be tempted to sell my vtr if i found a nice one for a good price.

    Will be interesting to see what the dark blue one goes for, too bad you'd have to wait till the 23rd for it to finish. Unless you manage to convince the buyer to sell it to you and withdraw the auction.

    Best if you message hXc about his bike if you're interested in it. They have just had the cam chains done so engine wise it should be good for a fair while, and if they're anything like the new vtr's it would have cost them a decent amount too.

    i'm keen to go with u, observe u inspecting the zzr, and then taking your advice. when do u finish exams? (do u have any to go still?) i'll text the owner tomorrow and see when i can arrange a meeting with him. if u reckon it's nothign hard to fix up, after viewing, i'm keen to get it!

    yea?? my god... so much to choose from! i'll get in touch with him, and with the owner of the zzr. see if it's still up for grabs and for viewing. then will see what hXc says bout his spada. plus, will def keep an eye on teh ark blue one. 23rd's not too bad. about a week... i've got 2 papers to keep me occupied till then, hehe.

    actually, both spadas will be up till around the same time. so i'll let them run as they are for now.

    some say he can rebuild an engine blind folded. and that he has antenae like projections on your fingertips to help him taste the metal under his hands...all we know is, he's squiggles.

    haha, hondas are beautiful, but if the zzr wil save the pocket, even an itsy bitsy little teeny tiny bit, then i'd go for it and upgrade to a spada/vtr/hornet/GB later on (sticking to the honda theme)... but lets just see how it goes! if the zzr's better left alone, i'll be going for one of them!

    I've already got dibs on the size 46 jacket Asked about it on friday, sent a pm yesterday saying I'd take it provided it would roughly fit my chest circumference (fitted 46 jackets in motomail etc so it should be good).

    Edit: Seems someone else had asked before me D:
