a tragic lose and a tragic accident,normal the bike would have slid to the left but it looks like the tyres dug in and it span round back towards edwards and rossi, really feel for edwards and rossi and wouldnt be suprised if they both quit racing for good, RIP sideshow bob, gone but not to be forgotten

id say either, your gonna have fun at either track, just take your time and slowly build up your lines and pace, enjoy

Black fairing, with metallic red frame, swingarm, hangers and stuff Powercoating is a no no, £150 plus VAT for frame, swingarm and wheels. Not too bad but i guess i could DIY. personally i think that £150 for frame swingarm and wheels is a good price, even if you do it yourself with cleaner and rattle cans, yes it will be cheaper, but not much and the rattle paint will scratch and mark easy

how far are you going with the bike?

i hang me head in shame, i buy a cheap car (dont care what it is) for the winter months, But i do still ride in the winter if there is no snow or ice

my fronts brakes are very poor, standard fitment on my bike are 6 pot tokyos, there are known to seize pistons, have to pick up some red rubber grease tonight and then im going to rebuilt the front calipers, also bought a seal kit for the master cylinder so will be doing that at the same time

sorry disagree fully, ive spent years having to repair and reweld smashed alumininum forming tooling on papercup machines and sweet wrapping machines, never had a broken weld ever, for their size these components have to handle far more stress than a bike engine bolted into a frame, ive also welded cast engine casings on both cars and bikes and never had a failure, welding any casting with a tig set is an art that not everyone can pull off though Surely if you can pull it off..............it's not very strong

when welding cast, yes for sure the weld will be stronger, with cast materials its all about getting the material up to temperature before you weld it, keeping it clean, taking into account the shrinkage rate and allowing it to cool slowly at a controlled rate. You weld cast material cold and theres a good chance it will fail, any dirt, it will fail

ive been stopped several times at or around our local bike meet, now i dont keep the disc on my bike, its pinned to a notice board in the kitchen at home (yes i know its wrong) ive had two discs stolen from my bikes over the years, this is why its kept at home, but everytime ive been stopped ive explained why its not on the bike and twice ive had the response of 'yes we know its taxed' as they checked it whilst following me, never had a problem, decent coppers or just luck? is the paper work and court time worth the little fine for not displaying?

Bad luck mate.....there were a few there tonight and we were looking out for you (although I don't think any of us knows what you look like... ) Maybe next week. Ride to Hunstanton being planned for this Sunday if you are about? Bob fathers birthday is 14 august plus he retires on the friday, so weekend not good, will get round to putting up a profile pic soon, but bike is a green zx7r, theres usually only two there

baby sitting, missus is at work till 10pm

dont see why this cant be welded, whats the casing made from????????

will be there next tuesday so yeah will hunt you down and say hi

i do believe that you where sitting on the round table behind us, didnt think about it till this morning, we got soaked aswell lol
