Yeah, ive been caught in the wet numerous time now (heading back from portstewart etc) and Im not too fond of it myself.

Mates tell me not to worry too much about a bit of rain, but I just feel worried that im going to slide!

It used to annoy me that the bike got stinkin, but now i think if i get caught in the rain so be it il just give it a dam good clean when i get home, because if you were to depend on the weather in this country you would never get out on it lol

The knee just doesnt wana go down on the twistys as it would in the dry lol +o(

Ive actually been using the bike for work for the past few weeks, and Im loving it so much compared with the usual traffic nonsence using a car!

lol, I was really dying for a 600rr untill i sat on one. Just didnt like the feel of the tank, the cover felt cheap, and everyone i looked at seemed to be marked badly around that area! and the bike for me was too light!

Fantastic looking bikes tho!

you aint seen mine lol, previous owner came off it at the bottom of his drive way it rolled twice, all fairings etc wrecked, i bought it off him for decent (cheap) money lol, and am slowly replacing all the panels, only three left, thing is the bike is mechanically perfect. took me to kells and donnington (black gaffer tape and all :oops:)

i know wot u mean about tank cover lol but i just love the way it goes lol

Still talking about learning to ride a bike. I was looking at a CBR125 and im tempted, though i think i might just use an instructors bike because i will want to swap straight after passing my test, if not then something dirt cheap to learn on like a CG125 or something. Which way would you recommend and any good instructors?

I was all set to buy a NSR 125 then was swiftly talked out of it by a few friends, it would teach me bad habits whilst learning wih my instructor, and then id have to try and sell it in order to purchase a larger cc bike when id finally got my test.

Im glad i listened!

I couldnt recommend 'one to one' motorcycle training enough, I had a few lessons with MTS in Lisburn, and I didnt like them one bit.

Swapped to' One to One' and never looked back, and passed all three tests first time. Have a right few mates that all passed first time with One to One too!!

They are based in Lisburn, near the MOT centre, 02892 605074, or 07895 833455, Ask for Rab, say that Ben gave you his number.

Update

Few updates.

Arai RX7-GP Monster / Hopper rep helmet
Monster / 'Hopper' graphics and few others
Motografix Front number boards
New HARRIS Carbon rear hugger as Powerbronze hugger cracked
LED rear indicators

Also found out that my Renthal rear sprocket is a +2 so that would explain why it accelerates quite well for a wee 636cc :cool:

We where on a run, not the 1000 bike/Carrick run.

GSMCC run, left from Ballynahinch. (y)

The monster logo's are chavvy as, I actually was about to remove them all, but ill stick it out for a while longer, and go back to slick black when I get bored, or the bike becomes any more marked/wanted :-#! lol
