Newbie saying hello...

[CyberBeast]

Just thought i'd better say a hello to everyone.

After 5 years off having two different VTR1000F's (Firestorm) i decided to sell and buy a Bird after seeing one cheap, as i've always wanted one.

Its a 1998 carb model but late registered in 1999 with just over 20k miles on the clock.

Got it cheap as it had been dropped on the right hand side, always wanted one but never got around to it until now. Well the price was right so i got a bargain!

Heres a pic of the good side.

I believe they call this colour Titanium Metallic?
Never see many around in this colour.

Cheers all.

Greetings.

Looks ok, but what's it like on the bad side?


Lumpy is right, they used to leave them that colour for the owners who couldn't decide if they wanted to go fast ( Black or Yellow), shag sheep ( Blue), or go really slow (Red and Pink shades), or go really posh but not ride them much (Silver).

Murt.

Welcome to the nuthatch w4lc0m3


You know it's no good posting a piccie of the good side only you know .... everyone always wants to see the evil side :-0)


I suppose you could always just ride around in right hand circles

 

[CyberBeast]

Cheers for the welcome peeps.

LOL @ the colour... well at least i have a pick in what colour to paint it then.
I was thinking of painting it black, while im priming the spare lower.

Ok ok just for you peeps heres the other side...

See its not all that bad!

Its all secured and on the road ready but would prefer to get the lower painted and fitted before opening her up too much!

Cheers for the offer mickeystitch... will take you up on your offer when she is sorted and im not working sat nights.

Ah its not that bad

its not that bad , my LC250 yam looked worse than that when I rode through a hedge ( forgot there was a bend ) in the dark near Denmead back in my yoof 8rfl@ still must stop drifting back bl4hbl4h

Did I see you last night ( Monday ) around 5pm in Newhaven two up joining top of one way if not there is another very similar top box as well :dunno:

Was in cage and going a bit quick to lock up and let you out :bang:

Should meet up, cant quite tell from pic as sunlight a bit bright but do you need exhaust for that side as well, might have one of those knocking about in the spares ;-0))

 

[CyberBeast]

Brillo pad to the downpipes? Nah not worth it on these old mild steel pipes.

Mickey, yup that would of been me with the Mrs on the back about that time.

I know there is another, same similar age and colour on the road around here somewhere, always pass them on the A259 heading towards Eastbourne.
Don't know if they are on here or not?
