Ello all,
Well after 9 years of riding motorbikes on the road, and the fact of having a 1year old terror known as my Son, I decided its time to get 4 wheels and a roof, mainly for transporting nipper around and getting the shopping in (can only carry so much shopping on a bike :grin:)
This doesn't mean my bikes are taking a back seat, still riding my GSXR 1000K4 as my daily commuter (156 rwhp + 86lbft of torque, with a dry weight of 168 kg (370 lbs) it's not shy :laugh:) My YZ 426F Motocrosser, GSXR 750 streetfighter which I shoehorned a GSXR 1100 (1127cc Slingshot motor) engine into it, Just sold my GSXR 400 :cry:...
So, back to the car!
Passed my theory back in Febuary, Bought a Mk4 GTI Turbo, and have practical test booked for mid November....
Be nice to pass then, as being the grand old age of 25, I'm due a winter off from riding to work at 5am, with a stinging face and purple knuckles are only funny for the 1st 5 mins :grin:
So, I bought the car roughly about a fortnight ago, since then all I've done to it is fit a Newsouth off centre pod, boost gauge, Forge Splitter and a Carbonio cai and thats it!
In the advert, the pics didnt really show up the white wheels(or I wasn't really paying that much attention lol), but they've kinda grown on me now... White 18" RS6's...mmmm....
Iv'e been lurking on this site for a while now, so thought I'd say Hello!
Just be prepared to bollock me for non searched newbie Q's :wink:
:grin:
Here she is...

Being a Somerset man, can you recommend any local-ish Remap+chip centres?

Ello matey,
Touch wood, I've not had that many close shaves...as for the law got chased the other week.
Was riding to work early a.m., not long fitted a Titanium Racefit Slash exhaust to it (absolutely f**k all to it, sounds like a drag bike, you can just about see it in the pic I put up)
Not that proud of it, but needless to say I evaded them successfully :grin:
What were you riding at the time bud?

Fookin' love my GSXR's mate, just last week sold my little GSXR400RRL, broke my heart...
So now only got the 1000 & the 7/11 left :sad:
Really, really want to get my hands on a crash damaged Hayabusa, streetfighter it and bolt on a big, nasty turbo, breathing with the help of NOS...
Thats a few years down the line yet matey, got my two dream bikes for the moment lol
Never had a bash on the CBR 125, but did have a brand new prilla 125 back when I was a 17 year old... Had it running at 33bhp...went like the clappers :grin:

Think we're all fond of the odd pie mate, I'm 6ft 2" and the heavy side of 16st , should've seen me on the 400 lol
Was thinking of dragging my old scooter out for winter if I failed my car test in Nov, 50cc badboy, those were the days :cool:
-
lol, 50cc of mayhem! haha!
I only got a bike when i was 21 (promised mum and dad i'd wait till then) so i was straight onto 125 and going to do direct access test next year. can't get enough of the bike though. my dads always had bikes. just sold his Yamaha FZR1000 Genesis couple of months back, what a blast that thing was!! he's got a BMW 650 Dakar now, different kind of madness but just as much fun! my best mate has a hornet 600 it's pretty nice too.

Good Mate who's lending me some garage space as a IMMACULATE TL-R, Blue and white, you'd think he'd have an OCD it's that clean :grin:
He let me have a go on it last weekend, what a difference to my thou, f**king love the twins mate!
-
well it was the tl or a blade but work on them all day and the sound of a twin kept drawing me in :cool:
-

Matey has cut down Viper cans on his TL, When he hits the throttle you can feel it in your boots :grin:

Liking the look of the 7/11 Mate :cool:
Did one mesen a long time ago with the 'J' model chassis and the old 'G' (I think) motor. Couldn't keep the front wheel down :laugh:. Needless to say, it didn't stay with me long or else it could have got messy :sad:. I've always loved tinkering around with bikes. Here's a (crappy) pic of my old LC complete with nitrous. I soon found out that Nitrous and 2 strokes don't go well together :embarassed: :laugh: :laugh:

Oh, and yes. Welcome to the site :smiley:
-
Cheers Mate,
Nitrous'd LC? Good Lad :grin:
Gotta love the 7/11's, something about them that just isn't right, but in a good way :wink:
I know what you mean about not being able to keep the front down.... Fitted Renthals & I changed the standard rear sprocket from 42t to a dinner plate sized 48t :cool:
It's like a two tonne scramber :laugh:
I'd sell the car, all my other bikes and I'd even throw in my left bollock before I ever got rid of it.
