Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

Again from the position of no experience...

I would 100% angle grind off the chain if you have one. Why put the tool under extra pressure on what will be an old chain going in the bin?

But if buying a cheap one I'd still choose somewhere with good returns.

@PhilDAS Sorry, just re-read one of your posts from ages ago. This is what the rat looks like now. Yeah it's always on adjustable clip ons.

Baffle in? Pfft
Let’s see the front

I’ve not got a bike at the moment. Sold the Z and now I’m between jobs so can’t rush back into anything but I’d like a >2012 hornet I think

On the lookout for a Hornet if anybody has one on sale.

Baffle in? Pfft

Hang on sunshine, I'm over 30 and own more than 5 tupper ware boxes yeah, so I'll be having none of that!
Also without baffle it got me black flagged at Oulton Park, so can't be arsed removing it now.
Hornet's are proper rowdy. Totally would. You're also getting reliability out of it.

Rowdy. Needs some upside down forks...

Agreed, but it'd be the equivalent of putting zipp 808's on one of amey's hybrids. It's close to a grand for the whole hog.

At that point, you and I both know the words Daytona start whispering again.

Aside from the coke can exhaust looks awesome. I think upside down forks would detract from its look.

It’s what I wish my Cb looked like.

Thanks man. I quite like the original looks as well. It's got Cartridges and uprated springs so works surprisingly well. Coke can sounds a bit shit to be honest, but after 2 stolen pipes, I really can't be arsed to shift this one.
Hold on to your CB. In about 5 years they'll be worth a pretty penny.

Was quite pleased to win these Heine Gerkie leather jeans, but Mrs H's reaction was laughter and "wtf!".

Do we think these are girls jeans?

The label has me utterly confused

Nah - they're fine.

Anybody ever owned a ThunderAce ?

Was going to post the Police Academy Blue Oyster Bar video but they don't look too bad. As long as the protection is in the right place and they're comfortable.

protection is in the right place and they're comfortable.

It's pretty hot, so I want to give it a go tomorrow and repossession the armour.

Cheers all.

Also if they're new leather stretches by 20(?)%.

Really? We're not doing mockery, quips or insults? WHERE ARE THE COMMENTS PEOPLE?....

Nice giraffe?

I've had a go on one ages ago - great engine with big turbine like power everywhere, more nimble than I expected. Love the deltabox frames. I'd expect ALL of the running gear would need a refresh by now.

No. 2nd hand. Not that great on the outside, but better than my current set.

@Chak no your a giraffe.

There's one nearby on a farm for a low price but needs a respray badly - going to have a look tomorrow - last thing I need is another project - he's got one of the original gear driven cam VFR's too - great Honda engineering.

Weren't all the vfr750 gear driven cams?

They look fine. Would wear.

600 or 900?

Is the GSXR front end that expensive?
