The roads over here on the Isle Of Man have also seen better days.
All the snow and ice has finally gone, leaving them full of potholes.
Want motorbike!!!

From a year-or-two ago... It's a bit less shiney now. 
Heres me doing a trackday at Brands Hatch in October.
Need to do some mechanical fiddling before i go ride it again, the ignition is less than reliable. Gorgeous to ride and own otherwise and only £110 fully comp!

The winter project, although I've been too busy to do much so far!
1986 Yamaha SRX 608cc, mods to follow:
Wheels to be changed to lighter TZ ones or the later srx single shock ones depending on which looks better.
Swingarm to be replaced with one off a FZR 400 with slight mods and addition of twin shock mounts.
Rear sets.
Single seat unit off RS125 with alto of mods. and custom sub frame.
Rear shocks to be replaced with some 3.5" stroke Diverese Duellers with Ti springs.
Forks making some cartridge emulator pistons and shim stacks, if I don't like these, maybe another set of forks and yokes.
The engine is being rebuilt too, but I've another one that will be built into an overbored 'grenade' engine with a bit more power over the next year or so.
Brakes are good as standar as it's pretty light but will assess these further when it's on the road.
I designed the stickers on your bike!

New commuter, delivered tomorrow.
Its paid for itself through doing twice to the gallon as my car and free secure parking at work - plus the government changing the rules on the treatment of company 'assets' 😆
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
my buell is off to the dyno tomorrow, just had more engine work done and full one off stainless exhaust - see what the power is upto now
wil post a pic tomorrow
Good to see a Ktm Sm on here.
Here's mine but selling up to get a Husaberg Sumo.

Very competent commuter and all round hooligan bike at the weekend.
Got some good upgrades on there too.
Can we have nice bikes please. Expect Loco and the KTM the only thing I see is stuff that make children crying (the honda is vial what happen to the CB450)...
If you need help with yours LOCO let me know the french SRX website is absolutely full of tips and preps on the SRX.
Can please poddy, TJ, druidh and strato resume to this thread.
Pretty please...

Take one budget commuter, add 20% horsepower, remove 15% weight, season with Dymags, Ohlins and GSXR suspension and top off with a DIY paint job. It doesn't get as much love these days but it's still a wee beast.
On track...

I have had this bike for 25 years - ridden to Moscow and Norway on it, done an honest ton, scraped the footpegs at 85
audiophile. Yes, thats a Raleigh Aero Pro Burner 🙂 25th anniversary edition that caught my eye for an investment. Alas its sold now 🙁
You may also see the ladies Muddy Fox Courier behind. Was my mums for many years. I gave that away, too knackered to do anything with. My dad still has his blokes version though.
My baby:

Second trail bike for me after the Transalp i had before, she's been left wanting the last few months, she needs a bit of loving 🙁
ive got a slightly modified one of these in the same mankey blue it chuggs along the dual carriageway at 55mph which is plenty fast enough on my way to collage and is nice to ride on the back roads on the way home when the temperamental headlight works!
[img] 
[/img]
im looking to move onto something bigger like an africa twin..
Nice srx loco
My classic kwak, it was retro 20 years ago when it was new! Few little tweaks to make it handle (zxr shocks) and make a proper noise. Cheap, old, love it.

Should've also posted my ex, the 2nd TL1000s I owned, which gave me my 2nd best biking moment; the first ride after replacing the awful rotary damper with a Maxton unit ("what... working suspension?")

Mine tends to get used for big trips - mostly! Still miss the Speed Triple for shorter blasts!
aka gilo,do you know anything about the earlier models of the bike you have? I was looking at a 2006 model earlier. Had a seat.. felt great! Nice position and with heaps of low down torque i would guess.
[img] 
[/img]
mine, it currently has a broken clutch lever and a bent footpeg, due to dropping it on some ice this morning!!
got off lightly then?
Here's my old girl.....

Shes a 1974 Kawasaki h2b. 750cc triple two stroke. 😉
Nice to see another Tiger (I had one before the Sprint).
And esp. the H2 - I'm a bit young for them as Kwak had gone on to the 'soft' KH's by the time I was riding.
got off lightly then?
yeah I just stepped off, happend as I pulled away from a junction in first, a few extra scratches but they just add character!!
That Kawasaki is great, if I had the money the shop near me recently had a Suzuki GT 750 like my old man had, could have been a two stroke pair!
From my old stable before it was broken up.

Took out the 400cc engine and slotted in a Bros 650 into it.

My Tiger 110cc Thai made piece of crap......but no matter what it did, it never died. I even managed to submerge it in my garden over the top of the bike engine running, and it kicked over first time.
anyone got any cheap part built or semi broken bikes for sale? take my mind of selling my mtb 😉
[list]anagallis_arvensis didn't you drop that Beemer just after you first got it....? Dim memory, could well be wrong.
Who's the bloke that ****ted his horrible brown Gixer almost on the way back from the dealer?
stratobiker awesome!
anagallis_arvensis didn't you drop that Beemer just after you first got it....? Dim memory, could well be wrong.
someone ran into the back of me, whilst I was stationary that time!!
Whoa! Goooorgggeous bikes old and new. Some bikes look fast standing still don't they?
Great thread smogmonster. Well started. Karma dude!
You're right. Spring will be here soon! 😉
anagallis_arvensis - Membersomeone ran into the back of me, whilst I was stationary that time!!
Yes, sorry couldn't recall the full details. IIRC, you'd just got your license and bike and then there was a knock. I wasn't suggesting you were at fault, just trying to recall that it had happened.
The man with the brown GSXR ran into the back of someone first ride out after delivery (IIRC)
I was 15.6 miles into my post test riding career!!
