Crap pics in the drizzle but I picked up this bad boy today




Riding round a sodden M25 wasn't the best first ride but never mind. Roll on the weekend!!

That looks very tidy!

Lovely.....who did the paint ?

Cheers, can't wait to get hold of it but he's got a bit of finishing to do.

100 quid to strip, fill, tidy, paint and line it which is bloody cheap! One of my mates works in a bodyshop and does odd jobs in his shed that he's converted to a spray booth at home. It's impressive how he does it!

Great ride out this weekend to Southwold, the other half took my bike and I rode the in laws Burgman 400 scooter ( which was a bit different)



Then I had a great ride all the way home to Cambridge marred by a bike crash on the A143 at Wortham ( I hope the person is ok )

I also visited the Krazy Horse in Bury St Edmunds, some great bikes and gear in there, they also do great burgers.


great idea for a fuel gauge

I've not been to Krazy Horse's new place.

I used to have a snout in their window every time I went to Bury so I should have a trip out there sometime, they have some amazing creations usually!

[rat840771]

They do have some weird bikes in there, all around the 30K mark, also do the Morgan cars and Norton bikes. It amazes me how they make a living as the turn over cannot be high, but I have heard that the owners are loaded.

But upstairs they have some cool clothes, But again expensive...Belstaff jackets were in the sale at £400/500!

Made by the person who created Buell. Has it got a Harley engine like Buells did?

Like a melted RC8

Well they claim 175hp so, no it can't be a Harley engine.

unless it's a dual engine...

Buell Ulysses had a tuned sportster engine, that had over 100bhp.

Yeah, Eric Buell has bought the engine (and it's design) from Rotax so should be a decent mill

I'm seeing elements of Triumph 675 in the rear frame, and similar to Buells, an take on the Ducati 916 front end. Not exactly a stunning looker though.

Probably the engine from the god awful looking 1125 thing.

There's bits of that I really like, just all together it's not very cohesive.

I bumped into the fella yesterday on his BMW bobba thing, he was going really well on it, he was busy duffing a couple of lads up on an R1 and GSX-R 1000 on the way back from Kielder

He reminded me of Click on his Guzzie all those years back Bill.

Me on my RD 500 chasing him with his track suite bottoms and his arse crack hanging out. (God rest his soul)
