It will go a bit faster then that if you can find a very long road, with no traffic, no potholes and no speed cameras :lol:
Trainers, T shirt, Yes. :oops:
Leather jacket and jeans, I wasn't planning on going out.
But I certainly don't think I will be riding with trainers again, if I hadn't had enough room to blip the throttle to straighten her up (and get my right foot down) I would have had a very embarrassing off.
Bernie if only you had been riding in slippers then this wouldnt have happened.

I used to zap off the shops wearing slip on shoes in the late 80s.. Until I left one behind at a busy junction when I set off :roll:

I remember back in 1999 when I bought a zx7 ninja, I always used to wear for the first 2 yrs my cat boots, black jeans and only leather jacket, gloves and bash hat of course. But fortunately got away with it as I used to tuck laces in pheww :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Wayne,

Great to see you back =D>

Took the old girl out for a spin, forgot how fast bikes are :twisted: , also forgot how long it takes to bed brakes in :oops: (new underwear required, and a lot more commitment into the roundabout at the end of the duel carriageway than I had anticipated) :oops:

Make sure you give everyone an update.

Cheers,
Bernie

Yeah its definitely pants filling time. One that sticks out in my mind was an s bend on my ZX7, but it was one that really does look like the z on the road sign, I got all out of shape used the bank and everything I could to get round, but I did, but I needed that commitment thing which I was lacking ( lazy boy ), but that changed after that I can assure you :oops: :oops: #-o #-o [-o< [-o< :lol:

Getting the old girl ready for the first nice day that comes along, just changed the carbs for a pair of 30mm ones and making sure that they are synchronised perfectly.
They just need a few tweaks as she is idling a bit high (that is my job for this evening).
I have missed the smell of petrol and two stroke 8)
