Some nice stuff there,
the one for me is the Z1R-TC.
Few hundred brand new Kwaks were sent to
turbo-pac in the US to be kitted out with
a turbo and some go-faster-paint. They were
then sold as brand new bikes in Kawasaki
show rooms.

SO WHAT.
or.....
The Ruts.

Maybe we should just merge
Youtube, Twitter and Facebook ?
Then again, maybe not !
Not sure I like the sound of YOU-TWIT-FACE !

Not a huge fan of them myself.
Lots of folk seem happy with them so maybe
its just me? They have too many parts bolted
or welded together and are over complicated.
I have a set and they are thrown under my bench
waiting to get welded up solid.
On mine the bolt together sections have become
loose and sloppy, after a lot of use.
Now I only use the nice simple one piece ones.
Maybe some makes are better than others ?
and I just got a crap set ? -
Went South down to Queen Mary Fall's today.

Its my 2 wheeled therapist.
Makes all my troubles fade away. -

Had to take the B-King.
Its my only 100% legal bike.
Some good mountain roads very close to me
but there were 3 bikes down over the last
week, 2 of them fatal, so I expected to
see LOTS of cop's. Didnt anyway.
Selling a house was a huge weight off me.
Had bikes with no tax, bald tyres, couldnt
even afford fuel. Should have sold a couple
and had a life but me being an arse didnt want
to part with my toys.
Farkin' glad its behind me now.
Being back on the bike is the best therapy !

Didnt ride much last year. Paying 2 huuuge
mortgages and doing up houses, so although
I dont get the UK winter, I really do know
what its like to be off the bike. Couldnt
resist another play on mine today.
Was a bit warm with all my bike gear on.
Very tempted to stop for a paddle in the
creek on the way back home....

Managed to convince everyone to get me shed
related gifts for Xmas, and had a few days over
Xmas to sort things out.
At least now I can find things and do a few jobs.
Have an endless list of "projects" id like to do,
but as is normal, my time, money and ability
is going to bring me back to reality! -
This one's for sale at the momment.
No use to you I know, but it shows you can still do something nice
without all the normal cheap tasteless bolt on crap.

Hope to USD my B12 in the next year..
The guys on ASF have done dozen's!
Few thing to think about....
Most USD fronts are shorter,
look for one of the longer one's or use a stepped top yolk
(lower on sides than centre to drop the forks)
Do you want to keep a cable drive speedo ?
if so your need a front end with a drive or to fit one.
Stems arent hard to get pushed out and changed between bottom yolks
if they are the wrong length for the frames head stock.
Will the lock-stops line up ?
Can always grind them off and drill and tap
a couple of chunky allen head bolts.
Not a fan of the Busa's 6-pots.
Even some Busa owners go back to 4-pots.
Radials on the new Busa/B-King/GSXR's are waaaaay better.
-
Not a fan of the 1250 Bandit, and love the
style of the original Mk1 over the Mk2 oilcooled,
no real reason, just do. Personal taste.
My first one was a money pit.
GSXR spec motor and clutch, pipe,
filter, ignition mods, Renthals
and a 60hp NOS wet kit with a 2.5lb bottle.
Current Bandit12 is a de-faired 99 model.
Near stock but for a Yoshi can, Renthals and an SV650
headlight I had spare. Its going to be a future project one day. -

Yeah, sometimes its quite a wait....
Farkin' storm season !!!!

Had our evening meal sat out on the deck
as normal. Sat in just shorts and T-shirt,
Rain and lighting all around. Going back
into the air-con, Mrs doesnt like the heat.
She's looking forward to visiting the UK next year!
She hates the humidity here, I love it ! -
Have fun Dave !
Just spent most of the day digging holes
in the back garden. F@rkin' hot!
Planted two lime tree's for the Mrs and put
in 7 "mock Orange" bushes to grow into a hedge.
Im paying the price for clearing the garden
to build my shed....
About mid day I was stood under the hose pipe
and the water was still coming out warm! -

I had a Busa and a B-King but still hunted
around untill I found a Mk1 Bandit (99 model)
they have a raw basic charm that the new stuff doesnt.
Just because the newer bikes do everything better
on paper doesnt mean they are more fun.
Mk1 Bandit 12's are just big boys meccano
and are built to misbehave on...

Hornets are OK bikes to ride and do a few
minor mods but you'll never find great
performance or do running gear / performance
upgrades like a Bandit/GSXR/Busa.
Even the oldest, worst GSXR750 can be made
into a giant killer just by swapping factory parts, engine, forks etc.
There's a reason Suzuki's absolutly
dominate the Drag and streetfighter scene.
Depends how you value your performance ? -
GSXR ?
Huge list of options.
750,
1100,
7/11,
Slabsider,
Slingshot,
(Stick to Oilcooled not watercooled)
Use the GSX1100F "power screen" motor,
easy to swop front ends ect,
Yes its all been done before, but there's
a reason for that. Tough, fast, powerful,
available, and huuuuge tuneing potential.

Anything can be "fightered"
Cheap, Tough ?
Gen1 Bandit 12
GSX1100 ET / EX / EF.
TL1000R / S.
Fireblade.
Original Gpz1100,
ZRX11/12.
Gpz750 Turbo.
ZX9R (lots fightered out here)
Z1000R/1100R (Lawson rep)
I even managed to stretch my little budget
to a Hayabusa by buying one that had been
dropped with panel damage and needed tyres.

Just used my gift card and bought some more 18V tools.
Been using Ni-Cad batteries but wanted Lithium batteries.
2 lithium batteries, 1 charger, carry case, with a drill
as a package was $50 cheaper than just buying the batteries
and charger on their own. Having a spare (free) drill won't hurt.
