hello tank slap

Post by rocket »

Thought i would come on and induce my self here kwacky has put a ride out up on another forum and all being well i will be attending.

Just got back into bikes after a couple of years off so I'm a little rusty. Got my self a black bird last November for touring with the Mrs done a couple of short trips. Then a couple of weeks ago I got a rsv1000 for the twisty stuff and a few trackdays.

8) Nice choice (not that I'm biased or anything)

Welcome to the site mate, hopefully meet you on a ride soon.

its not bad but being Italian and looks like the previous owner has used it but not loved it (thank god not for any miles by the looks) so just needs a little tlc.

Full body kit
Levers
Uprated clutch slave
Aprilia performance rear sets
Cored and decatted cans
Dropped the gearing
Proper suspension setup

I've spent far too much on it, but I've still got some to spend. I'd love to get some of the blue oz wheels. They do look good on the bike and quite a bit lighter than the brembo's on mine.

Well worth the trip to aprilia performance for a checkup. Griff is an absolute legend.

Welcome to TS!
