I never knew being an Essex boy would create such a lot of comments.

With a crap show like Towie, Essex will always get comments Been an Essex boy for all my life, 21 years now


There was a bike mad family lived there. Had double garage stuffed full of bikes.

That sounds like Howies alright

A vast amount of what i have is filthy and in need of a deep clean. ill pick up some engine cleaner from work and get started .

Go on 375 get 'yer sen' (Yorkshire dialect) up North lad.

Ooh by the way, welcome Hammoc.

Got to ask though, what is 'towie'?, I'm assuming its on the box?

Thanks Howie. So are you a Barker?

TOWIE - The Only Way Is Essex. Apparently it is on the tele sometimes

So are you a Barker?

Erm........ I might be, or I might not

Whats a Barker? Is it along the same lines as a Towie

Been out having a bit of a clean up and the standard pipes i have are ok. they have been chromed and a bloody good amount of that has come away . i dont like it and want them back to standard for one of mine. I have a set of standard 1s pipes with aprilia rs cans on which will clean up ok for one of the others so can anyone recomend a local company to put my pipes back to standard black. clocks are rusty and dented so lots to do their . one frame has been polished and is suffering a fair few scratches and nicks. in fact its a bloody mess as clock mount has been smashed off too. Didnt notice that till i got the autosol out . arse.

Im not sure alot of company will chrome used pipes as they dont like all the gunge/carbon crap in there acid tanks.
If you se the S pipes and prilia cans make sure the Internal diameter of the baffle and spout are Larger than the S stinger outlet,if there not you could run into overheating problems due to excessive back pressure.

If you were one you would know it

Often came in bearded form. Enjoyed riding fast bikes, drinking beer & well educated!

done a bit but not much just cleaning of frames and brake calipers. mostly been buying stuff on evil b im afraid. got a front brake set up and am awaiting some body work to arive at castle collins once it does and is cleaned up ill post more pics. The one tank i have is dented and scratched deeply on one side so ill be startng that at the weekend. All three frames have clock mounts broken off so ill need to get measured up and have someone weld me some fresh ones on . ill use work time to source a local firm.
