The Man With Only One Bike

No problem. I have a ZX-9R master cylinder, but it needs a lever and a
resevoir and you'd need to get a hose with banjo bolts. I have a
hose/clips to connect res to m/cyl.

 

Hmm.

Scared now.

Yes, yes, I'll have it all. Yes please.

 

Bloody 'ell. With all the stuff being exchanged at the BOSM, it's gonna
turn into a jumble sale.

 

I know I certainly want one.

I also know I absolutely cannot afford it.

So I have less of a whispering than you.

 

Look at the fairing on the ZZR1400, it's not made to keep the wind blast
off the head and shoulders, which makes all that power a bit redundant
for long distance work.

 

I'm sure they will do a bigger screen...

 

Yes but it needs more than a screenm. To use performance like that for
long you need all the wind pressure taken off up to eye level and no
turbulence around the head.
At an indicated 186mph on my Gixxer Thou I could take the neck strain
for only a few seconds

 

Shall we wait until we actually ride one to see what it's like?

 

No need, I can see it's a hopeless case.
Needs a Vetter Windjammer

 

you'll have Frag complaining about the Clique, if you're not careful.

 

what, like this:

ugh.

 

that is the picture in Bike.

Not sure I have a view one way or the other.

Here is the GTR picture for WUN.

Could there be a point at which more power is not a good thing?

 

I thought your Drifter paint colour was described as titanium by
Kawasaki?

 

Fucking gaylord.

 

Loz, you in tomorrow? I'm off to Stattos Saturday and picking
something up from Platy for Wun.

i think Statto is seeing Platy next friday too.

I find it ok at an indicated 186. Maybe sir needs a decent helmet that
doesn't try to rip his head off when a schoolboy blows him a kiss.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
