Then if you find a bike and choose to polish the exhaust system & headers but the flanges are corroded then I have a few remaining replacement stainless steel split flanges.

I'm a time waster, I told you I was.

Bought a zx6r today... I know. Nothing in common with a vtr, but hey - I like making split second decisions.

It feels like a toy, I went push it upright and nearly pushed it over... there's nowt to it!. Can't wait to see what it can do (with me at the controls) I may have to loose a little bit of weight.

Time to get out my map of Europe!

I did something similar with an R6. Great touring bike. Comfy and smooth at low revs. A little unhappy on broken pavement but super for Germany and the Nurburgring.

I finally sold it because it was just too much hard work to go fast, Storms and other mid range power bikes make you lazy. I wear my "lazy" badge with pride.

ps. Just watched Motogp. Mega. Go the auld guys!
