[MICKTLS]

Hi Dan nice choice mate so when's the sidecar getting fitted :jumping2:laugh2he he

[Dan]

I'm going to sit the baby on it tonight, see if he can ride it yet... he'll be 3 weeks old on Saturday, need to start him off early if he's going to give toseland a run for his money ;)

[RaceMeNSee]

DUUUUUDE....you so need to get him one of those little electric ones when he is like 3...then a little mini moto when he is 5-6! then a 125 midi when he is 8........and on and on and on.....

[Dan]

Yeah - I said to my missus that I was going to do that months ago, no matter if it was a boy or girl. Gotta be done, assuming he wants to I suppose, but then what kid wouldnt want bikes!?! ;)

[NinjaMad]

BLOODY LOVELY BIKE MATE how much that set ya back

[RaceMeNSee]

If he doesnt.......i think he will be asking you if he can do Ballet lessons.....in which case you will need to start beating him at a young age! lol

[Lateshift]

Nice looking bike that Dan :)

If i had known you was in the market for a new bike you could have had my R1 monster, i will likely shift it shortly ready for a new one :D

[Doninha Princesa]

Oooh nice bike D-man! Cant beat a cbr! I.M.H.O anyway! Its purty! Cant wait to see ya out on the rd (and the track) with it ;)

And as for bubba, damn right, start him young and he'll be world champion in no time :)

I was pretty sure that I wanted another F4i again, I really missed my old one. Need to get a track day organised now!!

[NinjaMad]

Really do like that bike, what something like that set you back was it low milage, superb looker though mate


ALSO i spot the gaming chair in the background, wicked aint they haha

[Mi5ter E]

Try Evotech for tail tidies, stronger than R&G

Cheers fella!

I paid £3,300 for the bike, including the Akrapovic Titanium can. Could have got it a bit cheaper without it (£200 quid
ish, so was going to ask him to take it of tbh), but it sounds so sweet with it on so I wanted to keep it. Plus everyone has said what a good can it is, i've looked and they are like £400 quid new! for a can!

Anyway, its got around 9,600 miles on the clock erm, 2002 model, smartwater etc. thats about it really. Oh and its got a rear hugger and RnG shrooms. Pretty much standard really, just as I wanted.

Bad points:
Theres about a 2inch scratch on the screen which isnt really a problem, as i'm going to get a black double bubble for it, and i've just noticed a repaired scuff on the front cowling which I didnt see when i bought it, but its not noticible unless you are right up by it. Again, thats only about an inch big and surface paint only but has been painted to cover it up. May do something with it, but its not really worth it... you cant see it really.

That gaming chair is brilliant. I bought Sega Rally for the 360 a while back and that chair makes the game so much better. It's a Pyramat S2000, the sub in the back of it is mental!

Nice mate ! Welcome back to the ranks:clap

Did you have it HPId cos theres no letters or numbers on that plate !!!!! :laugh1

[Dan]

Nah - he said that was normal for the 2002 model. The additional weight of the lettering ruins the handling apparantly. It wont stop popping wheelies being so heavy on the back.

I also noticed that the last 2 numbers on the VIN have been scratched off so I couldnt have got it HPI'd anyway. He said that was something to do with the weight distribution or the centre of gravity or something like that...

He said it was all fine anyway, and perfectly normal. Told me not to bother with an HPI, waste of money he said.

But dont worry, he printed me off a V5 when I bought it so its all sound.

:laugh2:laugh2

All very reasonable explanations !:clap

[Dan]

Are there any pics of your KTM on here anywere? I love them...

[Dal]

Looks like a goodun Dan :clap

Now get out there and tidy that garage up. ppfffffttt some people :laugh1

[Jetski]

Nice bike Dan, lovely. Ignore Dal, his garage is tidier than a tidy obssesives living room!

[Keir_K3]

Hi, nice bike. If i can recall correctly, these bike are a pain in the ass to fit aftermarket undertrays due to the seat lock and other bits related to the origional tacky black undertray. A neat trim of the std black plate holder is the easiest i believe.

[Dal]

Oiiiiii :D

[RaceMeNSee]

Its true though Dal....its like an operating theater!

[FingerZ!]

Tis a wicked bike matey - glad you got another one - when i get some money i will start the search for my next bike! ;)

dam you and your need for another bike so soon - i was plannign on saving up for a while till you decided what you wanted or went off the idea. I sold the gixxer and said to Emma that I wouldnt get another bike till you sorted something out which would give me at least 3 months - now i gotta get saving or sell stuff so i can get another one! you git lol!

its all your fault - I got rid of my bike, then you got another one straight away so your missus cant say its my influence for a change LOL!!

;)

[Dan]

Cheers fella.

To be honest, if this one hadnt come up I reckon it would have been a couple of months. It's so hard to find decent bikes this time of year, especially older ones in good nick.

And Vic does blame you, I told her you found the bike and said to me it would be a crime not to buy it. basically, the peer pressure from you forced me to buy it ;)

So what you looking at getting?

[FingerZ!]

LMAO!!

you know thats not true you bastid lol!

hmmmm im not sure what im gonna get......have to see what comes up when i got some money eh?! thinking about borrowing some dollar off me missus or my parents - how sad is that?! now you got yours i cant wait to get something - car insurance and tax and bike insurance renewal (pending new bike of course) in the next 2 months, so if i can save that money or maybe get at some long-term savings, i will get something V soon hopefully.

watch this space! :)

P.S - i told my missus that getting another bike was YOUR influence! ....she agreed!

[Dan]

And this is what my bike looks like in one of the Brands garages ;)

[Jetski]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! WOW Doesn't it make it look ever BETTER in a Brands garage! :D

[Comfortably Numb]

lovely bike m8. I had a brand new cbr600f in 2003 and then another in 2005 after 1st one got written off and although both were lovely bikes and served me well I wish I'd got a sport model as I've seen a few loons on trackdays almost getting their elbows down on them :rockon

[Dan]

Well there's no chance of me doing that... i'm always to afraid i'll loose the bike!

REEEAAALLLYYYY want to get my knee down at Rockingham... that is my mission for the whole day. Someone needs to help me... pleeease... :laugh2

It was wet at brands, but even still, this pic still looks like im not having it - i thought i was going pretty quick as it goes, this picture is a LIE i tell you ;)

Although in my defence, I didnt realise that you had to get your arse half off the seat ;)

[DoodleBug]

err cone!

KD at rockingham is gonna happen mate, we'll see to it :)

[Dan]

haha.. as i was posting that pic, i knew you would comment on the cone ;) I havn't resized the one you did and uploaded it to the eb gallery yet, thats why... I pondered on doing it just then but thought nahh, karl probably wont even see this post ;) WRONG
