Shot back up to Wicky's in Colchester to retrieve me phone I left there yesterday...

Here's the pics of the new oil pipes fitted & ready to, well carry oil...

I think we should all lay off Tony for his lack of cleaning... :lol: :lol:

This is the one that was leaking...

Image

To be fair the bike is ridden all year round & has 60k + on the clocks...

Still be nice to introduce it to a bucket a sponge now & then John... :lol: :lol:

like the sj paint job and the carbon Yoshi's mac.... :thumbup:
today I took a ride up the Benfleet to see a mate, after several cups of tea and a whole lot of BS, he decides to roll his zx10r out of the garage, because he works silly hours he doesn't get to ride it very often, he normally commutes to Watford on a zzr600. so as usual the 10 has a flat battery, so muggins here has to push the thing to bump start it, get petrol = need to bump it, stop at his brothers = need to bump it, stop for a fab = need to bump it, I was bloody knackered.... :lol:
never the less a stunning bike with ti and c/f akra's it sounds great, that's when I can hear it over my two brothers... :wink:
the only pisser was the traffic coming back into London, about 5 miles of filtering, at least the cagers heard the bike and got outta the way, I like tp think the bright blue led sidelight also had a part to play in that....

Tiz very clean indeed, 98 R plate 16k all sunny miles by the look...

Yoshi pipes look great ... sound a bit shite TBH, had a quick look but couldn't really see if it has baffles in, I expect it does coz they is a bit muted...

Bloody thing has an alarm on it which goes off if you even stroke it... :lol: :lol: Soon be having that off !

Needs CCT's & R/R but it already has a front vac take off, will steam into for a full & through look over. Wont have to clean it mind which is a bonus...
