First ride of the year on a sunny Monday afternoon, I think the tyres are past their best, I've owned it nine years and never replaced them! 
I hate these bikes! I almost bought one in the mid/late 90's.
Pains me everytime I see one now.
Sold it to pay for my wedding, guy who bought it only owned it for a couple of Months before it was stolen.
Hnng, stop with the NC30 porn. Amazing machines, I've lusted after one for years.

Sorting Mrs Fb’s learner GS500 out for her and thought I would sort the oil leak from the filter housing. Easier to buy new filter that came with the O ring, so went to put it in and found some top level bodgery !!!
Yes, someone really did manage to wedge a cartridge filter in a paper filter housing and then do a fair few miles like that
Good grief, that's next-level bodging. I'd give it all a very good looking over if I were you...Yes, someone really did manage to wedge a cartridge filter in a paper filter housing and then do a fair few miles like that

k for the race belly pan) I can honestly say I wouldn't trust that to sit in my garage over winter let alone ride it. Yeah that was top bodging by whoever did it. I have stripped the bike right down to a frame and gone through it rebuilding brakes and throwing on some rattle can. It will do for her to learn on and throw down repeatedly !

I'm going to flip a coin to see which im most jealous of.
The bike?
The garage/workshop?
Ha! Cheers. Garage/also part workshop is getting there. The floor will be epoxy'd in the summer. It's a decent size as well (i've got a 2 post car lift on the other side as well).The bike?
The garage/workshop?

How did you get on converting your S1000R to RR cams/ecu?
I've a feeling you might have me mixed up with someone else?I do have an S1000R but haven't ever intended putting RR cams in?
It has had a full system and custom remap though. Maybe that's what you're thinking of? And I'm well happy with it.
Just trying to get the suspension sorted now, spoke to K-Tech but they don't do DDC fork internals as yet, so its hopefully off to MS Race Developments this week to have stiffer springs fitted. Just waiting on Mick giving me a call to say the workshop is free.
