Sounds like a winner!

You just need a warm autumn day at Mallory now.....

[D6Nutz]

Well its being delivered tomorrow. (cool)

Wonder what the weather is going to be like on the 3rd ??

Well the eBay bike was as good as the auction described.

Nothing to do to it apart from chuck some fuel in, stick the tyre warmers on, and thrash the crap out of it.

All being well the guy should be delivering it on Thursday. Going to have to do some evening shifts in the shed to make space for it.

Awesome!! I'm still hanging to get out on mine! 12 Oct seems so far away!

When it's delivered, could you get some info on the dash please.
I have a mate with the same bike here in OZ but he hasn't ridden it since a big high side at Phillip Island where he fractured his collar bone. From memory, he went down a gear instead of up (race pattern rearsets) and apart from kissing the tarmac, buzzed the tacho and now its toast.
it would be nice to source another tacho and get the ol' girl going again.
What's more, he's a fast rider. First track day he'd ever ridden it and with wrong gearing that was topping out half way down the straight, my mate was in the 1:54's at P.I.. I'm not slow but I can only just break into the sub 2's on a 675.

The track banana has landed.

I'll have a look at the dash over the weekend. The seller has all the original paperwork for it so should be able to tell you anything about it.





Happy days.

Lucky man.

Looks good! Got a track date lined up?

Btw, you know you'll have to leave an Italian/English dictionary in that shed don't you? Or even an Italian/Japanese one! Lol

Nothing yet, I'm seriously considering Brands Hatch early next month, depends on cash flow and the weather. It would be nice to try the bike out this year.

Nice one... Is it a magic bike? It seems to be able to stand up on its own in every pic lol

[Spudda]

You've had it a couple of hours and theres no TankSlap decals on it tut tut

Enjoy

[kingfixer]

[Cavetroll87]

[D6Nutz]

I'm looking at Mallory at the moment mate. They've gos a Sunday coming up which means I don't need to loose a days money as well as the cost of the track day, and van hire, ETC..

[Kwacky]

[D6Nutz]

The 5th mate, it's the one I posted in the events section.

Edit: just noticed I put the wrong date in the title of the thread in the event section updated now

I've had a bit of a look round the dash today, it looks like it's a custom made job. very well done though. At a guess I would say the temperature guage is standard, the lights are probably just driven of the standard wiring too. The tacho however comes from these people http://www.scitsu.co.uk/docs/features.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Mine is the basic version with the rechargable battery, it seems to work well I've just got to remember to charge it up before a track day.

Is it running a total loss system?
