My new ride (iron stallion content)
- Thread starter kev182cup
- Start date
Id say wait until you were older Liam. I was gonna get my licence at 21 but decided I'd live longer if I didn't. 7 years on I still wanted it and did it. They are a great thing to be on though but dangerous.
Where have you been??? Lol haven't seen you in ages.

Is it riding you don't like or the bike? I wish I could get out in the thing.

riding, me and my mates used to go out on a Sunday and spend the day out going to Wales etc it was good but there seems to be a lot more idiots on the road over the last few years.
the bike is great, love v-twins that was the reason for getting it got some nice Akrapovics on it sounds awsome

I've had 2 SV 650's a K1 and a K5 and a CBR600F sport and I always prefered the twins
Very nice bikes the cb and aprilla.
Ive got a mint Z750 J1 need to put some pics on here keep sayin I'm going to but never do.
I feel the same as you thou M.C my mates are out every day in the summer and since I bought the zed I've done 1000 miles in 12 months. S.O.R.N mine now due to my first baby being born in march don't think mine will be used at all till 2014 at the least, carnt bring myself to sell it thou as I worked a long time to get a bike as nice as this one I have now.
I could sell it and the clio and buy a nice new R.S but I carnt buy another clio I said I would never buy another.

Well i used to have a CBR600RR, which i found i didnt really enjoy all that much and i only ever used to use it when the conditions were perfect.
Im now rolling on a DRZ400 SM, which i absolutely love, the wide bars the light weight and ragging its all the time is great fun
As much as i keep thinking R6, GSXR 600, i know i would be exactly the same as i was on the CBR, not comfortable and probably not enjoy it very much, so more power with wide bars and upright seating position for me ! Thinking Yammy FZ1 streetfighter or Kwak Z1000 maybe

Few updates. Well I took the screen off which makes it look better and can't say I can feel more wind without it so score.

annoyingly though its left screw holes so just put the screws back in to fill them.
next I fit my short levers. But the clutch wouldn't fit so that's getting sorted by the people who made them.

then I received this the other day but haven't had time to fit it yet. Mmmm

spent tonight cleaning the chain after riding it at the weekend and it looking rusty. Anyone who has done it will know what a joy it is but wd40 is your friend. Lol

I actually ordered the silver sprocket as I thought too much gold going on but they sent it late and upgraded me to the hard anodised one. Lol
thanks Laura they are a lot of fun.

Hornets are great bikes, I rode all over Europe on my 2002 Hornet a couple of years back, perfect balance of comfortable and fast for me, riding through the swiss mountain passes, or the roads in the Black forest are memories that will stay with me forever
There is something about biking that you just dont get with a car, the whole connection with the environment just makes the experience so much deeper
Enjoy the bike mate

Cheers. Yeah people think its just a hornet but I had a little play with a Nissan gtr at the weekend and he wasn't getting away. So they are fast. Nail them upto 13k in second and third and it makes you wonder how they're even legal. Lol
hahaha thanks
You rode a bike before Laura?
not yet, its all in the pipeline tho, CBT next month then direct Acess
I noticed a lot of girls doing it when I did my tests. I loved being on the bike even through learning so I knew it was for me. But it's not for everyone though so good luck and see you on the other side. Lol

Looks smart, i hate gold paint but it doesn't look too bad with it Don't worry regards the levers. I've got chinese CNC levers and they've been fine.
I actually had an aftermarket OE pattern item on my Ducati and that had a fault in the casting... Unfortunately we didn't spot it and the front brake ended up locking up and throwing me off. Safe to say when it came to fitting the chinese CNC levers on my Zed me and my Dad took great care in making sure the quality was good and that nothing like that would happen again.

Well turns out I'm gonna have to get a refund on the clutch lever. Got a bid on some titax ones on ebay atm but they're the long ones.
