This picture brought back some memories of my VTR1000.

I carved this canyon myself:




Mate just had a close look,
Is that skid marks :shock:  on the tank protector :roll:
That had to hurt.

It certainly is. If you look even closer you can see that I pushed the tank so far in that the paint came off in several spots.
Needless to say they x-rayed my pelvis at the hospital but all it showed was a set of tremendously swollen plumbs.  :lol:

Well done on the bike, it looks almost as good as my resurection job.  :wink:

Mick's photo's don't show of the bike to max. advantage. Having seen the beast in the flesh I'm happy to say-"well done that man!" Great to catch up with you and Donna in Cowes Mick! Let me know what shade of that colour Donna wants for the bike and I'll make it up at work later this week. She can basically have whatever she wants- just let me know. :motorsmile:
If you can't ride today, try and have a good day anyway!

Hey thanks Rick will take you up on that offer a little way down the track.
Got my hands full at the moment, got 6 or 7 bikes down the shop, all got to be prepared for the all bike drag meet next week end at heathcote.
Should be a hoot, the ZRX will have a new custom made pipe made, well its half finished, some anti pollution crap fell off it too, the timing has somehow advanced :shock: a new timing plate fell into it, ummm lets see. I thinks thats all I can theive from the shop stock for now, got get the boss man to stock a 3kg Nos setup for next meet. Come on folks Two wheel torque's all bike meet, the shows project B12, one of the bikes that needs to be worked on, will be seeing daylight and will be going head to head with the ZRX and boss mans GSX14. Simon the slugie, will be doing head to head runs with his new ZRX12, will be interesting to see the difference between the 11 and the 12.
And of course the B6 will be making an appearance in the 600's class, and hopefully waking up a few of those sports bike riders.

I'm a bad bad boy, just bolted on my new midpipe, hand made at workshop, fitted up to Remus muffler and the stock header pipes.
Went down a 1/2 inch in pipe dia, to increase exhaust pulse speed.
It worked, sounds nice, and nasty. There should be no problem in drowning out the noise of the b6 in full flight, yep, its that loud. :grin:
If I don't win at saturdays drag meet at least I should win loudest bike award, with a muffler. :winner:

The only flaw in that argument Mick is -Albury Sat 9.00 am to Mon 9.00 am 52mm of rain[most of it on me] Melbourne same time? 6 BLOODY MM. The good part of a weekend in NSW was the ride home!! [and outrunning an XJR12] :motorsmile:
