Cool looking bike. How long have you had it and what do you think about it?

[allanj255]

Thanks Rocky, bought bike new in May 2003 and really like the bike. I am 6 foot and find it just the right size for me and up right riding position helps an old guy like me as my back and knees are done in from military service.
I have done a few more mods and will post some up to date pics when I take them.

Very cool. Does that hub cover make the wheel a spindle mount by replacing the lugs or is it just decorative?

Just decorative. Thanks for positive comments.

Mr. Lee rode one and he is not much bigger than you so you should be just fine.....:D

Thanks for the positive feedback Brandon. Iam sure you will get a bike like this Brandon. These bikes are bullet proof and should be going strong in 9 years or so.

[king4456]

[Juice]

Looks awesome Allan!

[allanj255]

Okay fitted today, but it is chucking it down with rain, blowing a gale and cold so pictures are in garage so not to good. Bike needs a wash and wax.
I have ditched the cat converter since I last posted pictures and have put a straight through Y pipe to the carbon Remus can.

Hope to get a break in the weather and get some outside shots - The arm that locates the cowl next to the rear light has been supplied too long and I have contacted Wunderlich and sent some pictures - I could just cut it but awaiting their opinion before I do so as it may also be sitting at the wrong angle.:baby:
Carbon oil cooler covers still to be fitted.

[Timo]

Allan,

[2Dogs]

Needs knobbies!:kewlpics:

[Zutopong]

Very Nice!!!!!!

[allanj255]

Thanks guys, looking to get some black wheels next - watching a rear wheel on ebay and will get it done black if I win it.

[allanj255]

Been out on my bike today, first good day in a while and my health is getting much better again so I did a 50 mile ride - not a big distance but the most I have done for almost a year and enjoyed it so much so that I will be back out tomorrow.
A few pics, carbon hugger fitted since last post and a better view of rear seat hump

Games are on in late afternoon/evenings so out during the day and infront of TV in the evening. Talking to a friend yesterday who does not like football (the guy with the black R1) and he went for a ride on the evening of the USA / England game and the roads were empty only trouble was he only has around a 100 mile tank range when riding hard and almost ran out of fuel 80 miles from home as 2 rural garages he normally uses had closed early to watch the game - managed to take it easy and reach a major filling station that was open.

Green the England goalie is normally ok but soon as they pull on an England shirt England goalies tend to have the odd howler - he's not alone - several goalies have let in easy goals this world cup and there has been less goals scored than normal - They players are blaiming the new ball they are using for the first time in the world cup - apparantly it's "too round" and moving funny in the air - should use an american or rugby football then :rotfl:
