Great I have no one to play with, Tim will probably f

I base this on nothing.

Nothing at all, its a perfectly good bike, can be found for sale on eBay and all the usual places...
I said to Ryan last night if I hadn't had just spent several grand on taking the missus to NYC for our wedding anniversary in Nov I'd have ripped your arm off for the TT600 as two days ago I had the cash spare! Edited by Jazoli on Thursday 9th April 18:24
Bargain IMHO.

Why has Yazza dropped out?
When I booked on the phone NL said it was fine to pay on the day...I rang last week, in two minds whether to do it as I've had to shell out a lot this month, plus with changing jobs my pay has been sporadic. Anyway,turns out they never actually booked me on and had no recollection of the call, so I just left it at that, at least I didn't have to pay a cancellation fee! I'll definitely be booking a few in May as I'm going to town on the bike, suspension servicing, setup, brakes, QS and it needs riding!
Hope to see you at another one at some point but I might not get to many more this year

My mate Jason from I.O.M. uses them on several UK and a Euro one every year , excellent bikes, and service, Mat. runs an excellent business and looks after the customer really very well.
jason had a(2013/4 ?) GSXR750 on Monday at Anglesey and the bike was perfect, tyres were great and he spanked as much fuel through it as was possible within his package and was met to stands and tyre warmers upon return to garage each session - full and complete service allowing him to just drive up with his leathers , boots, gloves, lid and back-protector - went away very happy - once again. ( The benefit also is how the bikes seem to be set-up , Mat. could probably outride most on here and knows how to kit out the bike, prep. it and maintain it - happy days. )
Probably not the same guy but did he do some iom races years ago? An older quiet chap? jason had a(2013/4 ?)

Also MTB i won't be going anywhere fast. Never even seen croft until I get round to watching the odd youtube video this week I've also not turned a wheel on this bike and Itl be my first day this year, and by going off what happened to everyone on previous day's this year the luck isn't with the Bb lot so I'm just there to take it easy get used to my bike and stay s
tty patchy paint work up!There's the may double header Yazza.
230 odd for two days.
Get that camping pod thing (bet you it's st) and works out 26 quid for the two nights with 3 folk or 40 with two.
Anyone? Or donnie on the Thursday then croft on the Friday.
I can't believe it's the Scot who has to travel for ages on at yous to book Up for a day.

Did you fix all the damage Graham?
I'm getting there, still trying to sort that link pipe out. Was waiting for a local fabricator to sort one out but they just got back to me today saying they can't source the correct diameter pipe. Strange as I've just bought some on eBay that I'll try and mock up and get welded.Once it's pieced back together I'll take it to a local bike mechanic who said he'll look it over for me.
Hopefully these fairings will last a bit longer....
Yazza54 said:
Not gonna wipe you out repairing it is it?
It's the wedding at the end of the year that will wipe me out, plus a few other mates stag do's to go on in the next few months. I'll squeeze another trackday in if I can though

I've also got evening sessions booked at Cadwell on the 27/04 and 26/05.
Think I'll take the Suzuki on them as I don't fancy travelling up and down on the FZR.

Looking good!
I need a 9spd rim brake 26" mtb rear wheel!

Great stuff! Did you repair the old fairing or get a new one and get it painted up?
Looking good!
I've painted up a new one, think the other one was a bit too damaged. Looks better in pictures than close up!Looking good!
Needed a new front fairing bracket thingy too, as that was snapped in half but managed to pick a replacement off ebay for not too much.
Just need to get the seat unit patched up and filled then try and get some paint on that. Not long now!

Those are off an old Kona Scab, may be a bit heavy for your needs! I think there's only an 8spd cassette on it too.Edited by clen666 on Saturday 11th April 10:50
