so..




link pipe ordered
front brake pads
paddock stand bobbins
asv levers
crash bungs
air filter
oil filter
oil

and whilst removing the pillion pegs I discovered this...



From what i've read you can flashtune the standard ecu so wondering if I should ditch it (along with the poorly installed alarm)..

so r1ch.. how does one go about de-catting it? ;-)

Moz is partially correct...

I would of loved to go and make him cry.. however he did most of this himself.. comfortably the cheapest 4c8 in good condition around, he had it up at £4800 classified ad then dropped it to £4600, then turned it into an auction.. £4500 was the highest I wanted to pay and luckily it was his reserve.. I must be softening in my old age but it makes me happy when he gets the lowest price he wanted and paid the max I was comfortable to pay.. both feeling we got a good deal..

urgh.. whats happening to me ?

Dan, this is your fault. I've been hanging around all your niceness too much recently...

AND IT'S MINE!!

nuuupe.. for some reason I dislike yellow with a passion...

colour chosen!

^ would be what i'd want if i had the money.. however its now down to these... one is higher mileage but the other has some scuffs (I dont really mind as I can't keep a bike mint if my life depended on it) but another is lower mileage and another has some nice exhausts already fitted.. argh help me decide..

right budget has been upped and want a 4c8 model...

but i'm being a girl and can't decide on colour...

I liked peeeeej's colour scheme but they seem very hard to find.. there is a similar one with a red seat which I'm not too keen on.. black looks nice but a bit boring.. looks nice in the blue too.. seems I can get one on a private sale for 5k which is kinda the max I was looking at...

decisions decisions...

ello!

carbon..

take note of the fact it's me saying this..

thats harsh... very harsh.. leave the man alone and go change a nappy...

it was slippery as crap yesterday, was at cadwell in the car.. gutted for you dude...
