Twin turbo anyone
Tony nitrous replied to lee1's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
Yan said he'd take it off the 7/12 if it didnt sell. Intersting, I'd like it just be silly. Would fit my Bandit or Slabsider. More show than anything. Serious guys all use a single turbo. There have been a few twin turbo bikes, CBX1000, Harleys, Hayabusa, B-King etc.. Extra weight, complicated, cost, space and no performance gain's. -

front paddock pin stand
Tony nitrous replied to madsod's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
Interesting... I have a couple of similar stands I use for the rear but never considered using adapters to lift from the fork bottoms. Most of my bikes would have suitable forks. I might look into this. The rear bugger is the GSX1100ET. It has plastic adjusters under the fork bottoms and cant be lifted under the bottom yolk as the choke cable run's up through the stem! -

Insurance kept it and payed her out, she was already "my Ex" by then so I wasnt involved. It would have gone through the auctions. Not sure if you remember the huge floods Brisbane had ? Flood damaged bikes are not unusual here, I saw a few go through the auctions recently. They can be repaired and used, seen it done, but often age quickly and have issue's later on with bearings, electrical components etc that were initialy OK. I'd buy her Z750 or any other flood / water damaged bike, it just needes to be real cheap and expect the worse. Flood damaged Harleys here still fetch good money, Ideal to strip down to every last nut and bolt and use as a base for a chop build.

I like it. Really interesting. Good to see something different. Would like some more info on his times, A stock Busa or King will run very low 10's out of the crate. With my very limited ability, no burn out, 40psi tyres, full height I run regular 10.3's. Got friends who easily break into the 9's in street trim. With its long arm, FCR's, Burnouts etc, the RF11 should be moving ? -

Slept with all the window's open last night, 20 degree's all day, not a cloud in the sky.. True, but... Its the end of our winter. Cool and dry. We're about to go into Summer, Hot, humid, storm season. Its funny going down the beach and having BBQ's at Xmas but to be honest its not a great time to ride a bike.

Glad your slowly getting things sorted Garry... As I said before its a sh#t of a thing to go through, I split up with the woman I moved out here with, no family or friends for 12,000 miles ! My only bit of advice (and it may not be suitable to you?) Dont be set in stone about finding a bike loving woman. I did that 4 times! I thought we HAD to have that mutual interest, it never worked. Now for the 1st time I haver a great partner, we do lots together, share common ground, think the world of each other, just not bikes. She supports me and encourages me in everything I do, but we accept bikes are my thing not her's, She has a serious career focus and is a musician. Year's a go I wouldnt have considered a partner with no bike interest, but it really is working well. Best wishes which ever way life takes you...
