[zimm]

havent been on here much in the last couple of years (maybe longer?~)..

still have the bikes, just dont ride very often..

was going to get one of them back together this summer but laziness got the better of me and I bought one instead

[RedexRobB]

Hello and good to see you zimm.

Have to say lazyness has got the better of me too. Bought a low mileage example n now selling the project bike...

Anyway good to see you!

[zimm]

Hi Rob !

yeah, saw your new one .. very nice quite a find.. shame about the tank, but it has been sat longer than .. well .. a thing thats been sat a long time .. how does it run ? (some of my tanks look that bad inside and out and they've only been sitting around for 3-4 years lol .. )

[RedexRobB]

Not had a chance to ride it yet. Ive got no gear as everything i had i binned cos it was knackered when i sold my versys last november.

Its got an iffy idle which im going to look at this week but could just be a plug or low on fuel. Tank getting sorted this week too!

[zimm]

totally ! Ive been giving kit away to folk or chucking it .. went to get the redbull bike and was like .. "toad.. i'm gonna need boots, and gloves, and err .. all the trims falling off my lid, and my leathers are 100 miles away in a friends attic " .. made a cheap bike feel bloody expensive.

dont they all have iffy idles ?

is the original exhaust still rot free ? cos.. it wont be if you use it.. i'd keep the beet.

[zimm]

actually.. what you really ought to do is buy a nice black H1 for using, and keep the blue one in the dining room

[Leey]

Hey Zimm,

Nice to see your back on here, new bike looks smart are you still out in the sticks ?

Still need to get my carbs sorted just been to busy lately

[zimm]

Hey Leey..

its shinier than it is "together", there's lots of cracks in the plastics, missing lugs etc .. its all held together with gaffa tape lol

can you spot why i bought it though ?

can ya ? can ya ?

dealership selling it had no idea why there was so much interest in their tatty "part ex to clear"

it's a complete sp model with beet ti

was gonna use it for spares for the others, but im having too much fun on it to tear it apart.

Am in Bristol now.. bit more civilised

[Leey]

Nice spot there didn't notice the sp seat and beet, has it got all the other sp trinkets?

Still need to get my exhaust sorted noticed there a few on sale here just not sure weather to buy a used beet or get a mhp made

[zimm]

want the one off this?

Link pipes flatted, guessing it wouldn't matter if you were having it modified to follow the lines on your bike?

Headers are undinted

[Leey]

Depends how bad the damage is, Ti link pipe wont be cheap.

You up for helping to set up my other set of carbs?

[zimm]

sure..

You want to bring the bike to Bristol? Or I could come to yours..

Give me a ring in the week.. ?

I possibly know someone who could mod the linkpipe to follow your tail unit and get rid of the ding @ same time..

[tink]

Nice looking bike you got
