Hi everyone

Post by PaulZXR »

Ive had my ZXR400 for nearly a year now
Im 18 and i live in southport near liverpool. I am an aprentice motorbike mechanic
My bikes had an interesting life.... it was red when i got it... then i wrote it off on the 2nd day i had it. I had to buy new panels and a new engine but it was back on the road in a week
Then in October 2007 it got stolen. I got a tip off that it was in kirby, long story short, i got my head kicked in by 8 scallies but i got the bike back, although it aint the same... my paintwork was pretty badly damaged, as was my exhaust.
I fixed what i could an stubbied my exhaust :D which is now pisstake loud.

This is my ZXR, as you can see its pretty unique and distinctive :D

if it had been a plain colour then it would probably have been a smouldering mess in a field in kirkby :)

the bike lol! they were playing the "lets see how long we can bounce it off the limiter while doing a rolling burnout before the engine blows up" game when i got there. It developed a pretty nasty misfire after that, they destroyed my 3 week old bridgestone bt-014 rear tyre, wrecked my paintwork and fairing and because they hotwired it, my electrics were doin silly things for weeks
