Well hello everyone,the Ox lives.Not been on for a while and was supprised to see my name floating about,you still remember the me. :woohoo

As TC said i'm just training to keep in some sort of shape although you would'nt think it to look at me :bang Been riding the ZRX for a while and now missus Ox is doing her bike test in August,so we hope to then do a bit of touring next year.
I've just sold the ZRX and bought a Suzuki VS1400 thats been custom'd, which i'm in the middle of minting up to get back its shine.
I'll post some pics in the releven section soon.

Cheers everyone.

Good to see your still around Mr Ox, glad to hear Mrs Ox is taking the test shame they've brought all this EU crap in making it even more of a pain in the arse to pass, My better half wants to do her's but due to the EU stuff the price here has more than double now.. All the best mate..

Training is embarrassing as i'm just doing all the easy shitty machines that i used to slag other people off for using.But in my defence,i get discouraged doing the stuff i used to do as i can only use half the weight and this makes me not want to train at all,and i have no motivation to get these weights back up.So for the time being i just get in there quick do what i have to do and then get the fuck out.

Pinks is much the same equipment wise but i've spoken to the fella thats bought it (for 1.3 million)and i know the new manager when he takes over and he said there gonna get it back to how it used to be.We'l see about that cause at the end of the day its all about monkey.

Bloody hell andy I can't believe you've sold the ZRX all ready!
I thought a vmax was a tad too low for me so I bought a GSX1400 instead, can't stop riding it :woohoo

Shawn, the 600 diversion is a cool bike if you wind the rear pre-load up. My wifes got one and I can ride it with no problem. Shes 8 stone and I'm 24 so they're pretty versatile machines :sheep

You mean the suspension on the back ? Got that sorted the other day and it feels alot better, still not fast though. Always on a para about leaning too much on it as the tyre' are quite small. Going to stick with this for a few months then maybe pick up a Hayabusa. (Depending how comfutable it will be for me)

What type of biker have you got? It seems once you buy one you always want another. LOL

I had a little cb500 when I passed my test then after a couple of months I got a triumph 955 rs(sort of half faired sporty thing).
I kept that for a few months but it was a bit slow so I bought a honda cbr110xx blackbird. I had that for over a year but having no throttle control I was belting around everywhere at 160 + so it had to go :hand
Had a few different bike since then, one of the best was a yamaha yzf1000 thunderace. Its a sports bike but being older (mine was a 1997) it was pretty big and comfy but still damn quick up to about 160.
Got a suzuki gsx1400 now which is a big naked muscle bike, loads of torque for acceleration (about 2.7 o-60) but a sensible top end so its relaxing to ride. I also ride the wifes xj600 sometimes and I've got a 1979 yamaha xs1100 which was one of the original muscle bikes, not all that fast but it sounds like a beast :rn

Once you've got your licence you'll get through a few bikes until you find one you like. My dad passed his test in 2001 like me and hes on about his 10th bike now aswell!
Hayabusa's are lovely bikes but quite low. My dad had a kawasaki zx 12r which is the same performance but a tad bigger. It was comfy to ride and went like shit of a shovel, it nearly did 190 with me sitting upright on it like a bloody big sail:respect
