so glad youve kept your 916 instead of doing something daft like like selling it to fund the purchase of a 1098R..you know it makes sense!
View attachment 4463 not the best pic of bella the bitch, and shes had a few mods since then (wheels rechromated and painted 1098 gold, carbon airbox and tubes etc, but heres a pic from a few yrs ago...her natural habit is like that of most beautiful women, tucked up under a duvet (although i keep her locked up fred west style). from memory shes only done about 12k. shes an oldie but goodie. when i hit hard times recently i sold my beloved 349hp WR1 scoob but still couldnt be parted from 'her indoors'....now i drive a grandad wagon mazda 6 but who knows next yr i might be back behind the wheel of something silly fast again..and if i get a grumble in my loins i might start sniffing around for a 1098 tric...(this old girl aint going anywhere in a hurry though) x
2 VERY tasty bits of kit right there..gorgeous together..lose the reg plate on the panigale and youre onto something.
Okay then, to kick things off: My first proper big bike, loved it but wanted more power. Currently have: Neve ride it, but just such a beautiful ornament. Absolutely stupid little bike, but more fun than anything IMHO Finally my current baby, can't find anything worth changing it for, i'm not a speed demon and let's be fair it can out perform me any day. Just need the carbon tank now And maybe some Carbon Wheels =)) Next purchase is a DRZ400 just for SAG.
I've got both Nelson. The gold ones are my magnesium track wheels. The black ones were the normal '01 graphite grey, but after they started looking a bit tatty with stone chips etc, I opted to get them powder coated and plummed for black ala the 996SPS
