After much saying 'it'll only be a few more weeks till i got me XJR back on the road', (been saying that since september) its finally on the road. Got all Taxed and MOT'd today and insurance sorted.

This now means the ZXR is sitting in my shed ready to be stripped, painted and tricked up like black man and his 'bling' :lol: (so to speak). Gave it a wash and you should have seen how clean it looked, it hasnt been cleaned in about 3 weeks and the shite round the back wheel just added to unsprung weight there was so much.

Still got lots to buy, about 700 quids worth of stuff (amazingly) most of it is carbon bits and things like chan and sprockets, and thats not including the shotblasting and powder coating and paintjob yet. However, the paintjob i may be getting done cheap as a bloke up me road has a brother-in-law whos a sprayer and says he could get him do the spray job cheap for me, so hopefully thats just a case of paying for/suppling the paint and a few quid (a pint maybe) for his time and that'll be it. :D

So.....it begins :D :twisted:
