New member Slim has had a few bikes over the years, here is a selection:
The current Slim mobile, a very clean 97 BladeBut standard bikes have not always been his weapon of choice
Some relax by the pool with a Tequila, Slim goes for a roll up and chill beside his fightered GPz
Suzuki GSX1100F, a bike with an electric window!
Suzuki GS1000S with all the right bits, piggy back shocks, belly-pan, neta pipe, a fork brace and kids playing in the background
Ahh, the waft of 2-stroke oil, RD400.
Classic heavy metal, a slabby with a hint of GPz, check out the cockpit fairing
The peak of the big aircooled Suzzys?? GSX1100EFESome of his Rolf Harris bikes…”Can you guess what it is yet?”
July 11, 2008 at 8:52 pm #55980slimParticipantThanks for putting these up radar []
i’ll be interested to see if anyone can identify the last few bikes in the pics [?]
July 16, 2008 at 9:04 pm #55981slimParticipantI think you all must have drawn a blank with the last few pics then [:p] should i put you out of your misery [?][?]
July 16, 2008 at 10:52 pm #55982imperialdataKeymasterI passed so I wouldn’t look daft! I reckon there are a few on here who might know, give it a few more days, the tight cooling fins on the last bike’s engine should tell us something….

yep its a harris frame & bandit 12 engine, bodywork is one off by my own fair hand as is all the fabrication to make everything fit. unfortunately i had to sell this one unfinished due to cash flow problems []

July 21, 2008 at 12:51 pm #55987RadarModeratorHint of Katana if i remember correctly, but my own PC is doing the “Blue Screen of Death” thing at the moment, so you will have to wait until that is sorted!
July 29, 2008 at 11:23 pm #55988slimParticipantMy latest heap under construction []
July 30, 2008 at 9:55 am #55989imperialdataKeymasterNice. How does the rear framework mount onto that Slim? Will you weld it on?
July 31, 2008 at 5:33 am #55990slimParticipantHello there
first ineed to make a subframe & i could weld it on but as i’m trying something new & different i’l probably weld on some lugs to bolt it to [] doing it this way means i can change it again easily if i want to without disturbing the main frame []
August 12, 2008 at 8:58 pm #55991RadarModeratorLooks interesting Slim, what engine is going in?
