    I’ll give you £50 for the lot. Only joking. £40. No seriously, it’s tough when the money runs out but you’ve already managed to own a superbike which is more than a lot of people. Hang on in there bud.

    hahaha ‘spose youre right. and just changing the subject a bit, there are some serious fuelling problems with the shorty exhaust, its drinking like theres no tommorrow so the shorty is going on ebay, i can deffinitly not afford to get a power commander and get it set up so someone else with the money can sort it and enjoy the noise. sounds like a V8 when you get going a bit.

    want to see me nailing something?

    I ran a plugged tyre in 2007 (my hated BT21). I got a pucture in the south of France. Came home fine and did the rest of the summer. Depends when the nail went in

    alot of people say good things about it, but its just my personal preference to be honest. i like to just replace things ‘cos im unlucky, dont like tempting fate but its tough. i dropped the wheel off at the garage this morning. do i have to alter my speed accordingly?
