No, but it did belong to CarneyUK, until May 1st!RedexRobB wrote:Nice man, who did that belong to? didnt that belong to mycallsevern?
As regards the yoke cover, I know not, it was on there when I bought it, but I do rather like it... Unsure about the hammeriting, it does have a somewhat dappled and dimpled texture to it, but I don't think it's Hammerite.

Re: Ok, you've seen her before, but so what?
LOL! Not kidding, this bugger's cost my friend quite literally thousands to get into good shape. He part ex'd his XT 125 (iirc that was what he had) for it, and then oh boy, pounds after pounds. In good nick now though, and running very nicely, after all that money spent on it, I'd expect so!Cloud Wolf wrote:beware the inquisition..... Also beware thread ers (?)

Praise goes to Carney, not that I've seen him on here of late - possibly something to do with having just sold his ZXR...

Re: Ok, you've seen her before, but so what?
And too busy juming out of planes too!Vard66 wrote:Praise goes to Carney, not that I've seen him on here of late - possibly something to do with having just sold his ZXR...
Re: Ok, you've seen her before, but so what?
I'm still here, still jumping out of planes.....and still regretting selling the bike.
Master plan is get all my skydiving gear and licences this year, then save up some money and get a new ZXR400 next year!!
Hope you all have a great summer!!

Sounds like a plan, Cass! We'll have to meet up and do a ride out or two when you do!

Lol! There's a guy selling a Turbocharged '05 ZX10 who comes to the pub occasionally, want me to put in a word?
