yipppeeee

proud owner of CBR1100XX Blacky... picking it up on Saturday. the
problem is, now I have to clear a space in the garage for it !

 

How very true

 

Shouldn't take that long to clear a garage, should it?

 

Year?

 

grin I reckon it'll be ok on the motorway. One thing, the seller
reckons he put a new chain on about 2.5k ago but it's in the 'red' zone
on the adjuster ( although still some adjustment left ) How many links
should there be or is it time to replace it?

 

R 97/98 21k £2850 ( with haggling ) it's got some luggage, new tyres
and quite tidy really. It's black,

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, mr p belched forth and ejected the following:

It den't get any greener abover 180

And get rid of that feckin' top box

 

Ooooh, that's black. 'Course, the red ones go faster.

What's the crash bung? 'Cos I think I'm gonna need one before the
winter is out.

Nothing wrong with inappropriate top box fitments...

Bloody lovely. It is proabably the only bike I would swap my 'Ace for.

Ditch the top box. Otherwise, nice.

 

Looks like a close-formation thang.

Actually, I was top-boxing last week, picking up madam's refurbed sewing
machine. Didn't go as wibbly as I feared.

 

It looks like it's being menaced by a UFO with that on the back.

I reckon about a day.

Yeah, well the thing with top-boxes, as much as they're derided, they
are bloody useful and mean the bike can be used in preference to a car
more often. I've never carried a sewing machine in mine though.
