As in the title the new OLD bike will be in my garage tomorrow 996 Bip 1998 mint with 6 thousand miles. Full History. Absolutely bog standard. I have bought some bits that will replace the unmarked parts that wear to keep them in good nick. So that is the last the Mrs will see of me for a few days.:wink: Strip clean for my own benefit and fit the new bits. Ride safe all Ken.
Excellent. When my 2000 996 arrived in my garage earlier this year, i was up every morning at 5.30am and in the garage doing bits to it for a few hours before leaving for work each day. Managed to do belts, plugs, chain, sprockets, fuel filter, oil, oil filter, brake fluid, brake pads and a monoposto conversion all in the space of a week! Nothing like that motivation of a good ride out at the weekend to get things done!
2 pictures one when it came home fully standard, 2nd with a few things changed to preserve the OEM parts that could wear. Very nice ride it has 6tho miles on the clock full dealer service history.
im proud of you mate...piece of motorcycling history...i love these bikes...i really like that seat too by the way, what is it?
Its a Corbin seat mate from the old USA. I have always wanted one but could never bring myself to pay for one. Last week on this Forum a member had this for sale. I just could not resist it. Thanks for your kind words the bike is very nice. I am looking forward to getting the beast on some dry roads. Ride safe Ken.
Well being retired I can select days when the weather is fine. We get many a nice winter day in Silly Suffolk. As long as the salt ain't been down that is.:smile:
