Yes, I've had to phone on a couple of occasions for unique queries and had no trouble getting through to speak to someone

We'll started the rubbin to get ready for 2 Pak under coat how many coats has it had! Well under way, now i wonder shall I do her silver or back to original green and white as she was produced? Maybe I am To much of a purest, same thing with the vmax cost me 300 quid the change the bars and stuff to get her back to standard so is it worth it ? Green or silver it's up to you. Now that should start some thing..... But like bill gates when he said windows xp is on the web as a beta have a go at it, the hackers reply was you sort it and pay your programers, we are not doing it for free. So silver or green?

Had to look up the colours... I couldn't remember what a silver one looked like.
I know the green ones are common but if it was mine I would probably put it back to standard colours...booooooring I hear some say..

Anyway hopefully this picture will work...

Then again.. Quite like the red white... The red grey looks well.... The back red would match my AR125.... Then again so would the Green... Silver is a rare one, not seen one of them before .... Aaaaaargh :roll: :wink:

Well done on the new toy. I don't really like Guzzis but who am I to say? As for the KR, I would go for the red/grey paintjob! I think it's the best of them!

Well emailed DVLA 3 weeks ago about the dating mail from KHI have I had a reply, bugger all. I think it's just a building full of pc's and not a human amoungest them. Lol. Keep thinking about selling the old girl and the spares as a job lot, think I have run out of enthusiasm, a 5 nearly 6 year love affair is wearing thin, so any offers? You could be lucky, px's possible. And no a quid won't buy her lol. Please bear in mind I have spent over £2500.00 in parts and the initial purchase of her that's without the 100's of hours labour :shock:

Tim you could make it 5 1/2 kr's :D I have enough on my hands with the max, old bikes always needing care and the guzzi though it's nearly done. Maybe if I can find time this weekend I'll try to start her maybe that will make me feel better. Anyone want to buy a vmax instead? lol and tim fancy the kr jigsaw? Bet you haven't got one of those :D

Well, I'm really sorry I've been away for so long, but what's this I'm reading Doug? I hope in the last few days you've changed your mind about selling the KR! It's great fun to ride, especially with two footpegs to properly place your feet :D :D :D ! More on my thread about that. I really hope you're only joking about selling. Besides an affair like that is like no affair. You've given so much to her, yet haven't let her pay you back! Get her on the road and enjoy the ride as the other lads said!


Cheers, a very thankful Fanis
