    Dropped off my R6 at RB Racing to get tuned... as punishment the bandit refused to start, it must have been jealous of the attention. Removed and cleaned the plugs, jump starter, no go, badly flooded.

    In the end the old push start got it going, took it for a ride to clear it out, fuel smelled bad... fresh tank of 91 tomorrow.

    Hi to everyone...i'm still busy with the new house...tomorrow I'll send the damage parts to a fairing repair specialist...and after viewing them he tell me about the cost...the upper cowl is deformed where it is broke, and the part was repaired several times... yes, now i have my beatiful chinese fairings, but i'm feeling bad every day when i see the broken cowl...
    The good news are that i finally found a pair of original rotors (from UK) in good conditions...and also a pair of air intake tubes...

    So it's not your china fairing's that got damaged ?
    If it was some seller's on ebay will sell a single part of the china kit's
    eg; 1989 1990 ZXR250 front upper fairing
    You would need to send them picture's of your's so they can match the paint and stripe's etc

    After having the accident, i bought the complete china fairing kit for my bike, and i'm satisfied for the price i spent...but the problem with chinese fairing is when you try to combined them with the original ones...

    My suggestion would be to put the originals in storage and just use a matching full set.

    Then some welding

    And other bike bike repairs. Today we go riding! Well, I have 3 tyres to repair on the way, then riding! I'm one of 4 brothers (no sisters), and 3 of us are going riding today for a birthday. That's if it isn't pouring rain...

    Had some more laundry to do...
    IMG_20200126_170630.jpg
    Hard to see in that picture, but we found the muddiest place to ride: tacky, greasy mud and water puddles. A lot of sideways action, could hardly ride, even got the Lancer bogged. But we had a bit of fun. Washed the bikes once home, hit them with the pressure washer: never seen them so clean! The white bike is white and green bike is green!!

    Not a lot... started the Spada up after it has been sitting for 3 weeks... first kick and it runs like a charm.. took it for a quick tootle up our street and back.. just to make sure the new brakes are working nicely.. :)
    Then sorted out taking pics of the CB250 and the engines etc to put them up for sale..

    But those extra 24 hp cost $110k, and are only useful after 300kph with it that light. Just bragging rights. Very expensive bragging rights.
