[Tim2100]

Congrats Davel

Looks like we will both be out over Xmas, tip toeing around on our new machines, with shiny new gripless tires - Can't Wait!!

[Davel]

Going to be a boring bas*ard and use the car on the iffy days and save the bike for the better days.

Don't want to scratch it!

Horrible as you're collecting it, when you worry about making a complete t*t of yourself, as you set off from the shop.

You just don't want to wobble, stall or fall off!

Enjoy....

Excellent, very nice bike. What colour is it? My mate has got to black/yellow one. His Arrow end can sounds very nice. Enjoy

[Davel]

I'd post photos of car and bike but I'm too thick to be able to do it!

[Tim2100]

Nice bike Tim, but why- o- why do they put such stupid flimsy sidestands on bikes?

If there was a strong wind, or the camber of the road wasn't right there would be about a grand's worth of damage to the tank and fairing if it fell over

If you don't mind I will post this on another site which should get some intrest up. its Westmidsriders.co.uk.

The side stand is very flimsy and light weight and nicely hides beneath the footpeg which is very difficult to flick down as per usual.!

thats cool with me tim ...... the more the merrier!

[hertsbiker]

arrghhhhh! you're making me jealous you b**tard !!

[rossncath]

bad news im afraid tim......... my boss has been on to me today and i have to cancel my leave and go to Belfast on business tommorrow. so im gonna have to cancel the ride out as i dont get back until the 3rd jan.
sorry about that, maybe we can sort something out in the new year?.

[Tim2100]

Ross

No Probs, We will still go out on New Years day, so think of us suffering on our bikes, whilst your sitting in your warm hotel room hehe

But yep we will have to have a PH Midlands Ride out in the new year.

Tim.

Well played Tim. You won't be disappointed with the gixer. I've had mine for a year and a half now and it's just superb. If you've got any questions about the bike or wanna find other gixers to ride out with, check out http://ca.msnusers.com/GixerCrew - it's a quality site.
