After 12 hours driven around in a van by a mate from London to Swindon and other places, I finally returned home with my new bike...
Its a beautiful silver and black 2000 model with spyball alarm, Leo Vince can, single seat unit, steering damper, braided hoses and dyno kit....
MINT at only 16300 miles.....
Started it up and went round the block...Hmmm...Feels ok....Very light...Like my old Aprilia RS 125.....Let me see what it can do.
Oh my GOD!
Even in first it feels STUPIDLY FAST and it will pull and pull....I felt slightly scared man
So we get back in the van...Tie the bike down with old electrical cable and set off back to London.
THEN it happened.
BANG in the back of the van.
ARGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Bike had fallen over on its left and dented the tank.
I was gutted.....Thankfully, the only damage is a dent in the tank, but I was extremely extremely pissed off...I still am...But it could've been a lot worse.
So I went f*** it...Got in the back and sat on the f***er for the rest of the journey home....Ohhh my back is sore now
All in all....A mint R6 for 2.5K (now with a dent) so I can't complain....Now for the licence.
I will have pics if its light enough when I get back home from work.
Later dudes!
PS; Anyone know where I can get a new gas tank for a silver 2000 R6
