fordpervs birthday shite (bike content)

[fordperv]

well folks its coming up to that time of year again where i get another year older, the mrs as per usual didn't know what to get me, she remembered i wanted to get on 2 wheels, so she was trawling the internet seeing what was for sale, the good thing is that she knows me too well so she knows that id want something a bit older, no less than a 600cc, a bit sporty and something i could have fun tinkering with, she found the perfect one she told me to get transport with a towbar sorted so we could tow her granddads trailer as we were picking my 1995 RF600r that she bought me for my birthday, up in a couple of days, a very good friend accepted the request.

 

fast forward to Saturday morning, we picked the trailer up

 

 

hubba hubba at the tow car mondeo st 2.2 tdci

 

we left out

 

 

the sheer concentration as he was driving, the kitcar didn't even catch his attention

 

 

a short drive to Wolverhampton, we got there and the guy we had it off was changing the fuel tank for the actual one off the bike, the rear caliper is hanging off the rear footpeg as it was seized

 

 

well a bit of refuelling with our local delicacy which we took along with us, the great oatcake

 

 

we loaded it onto the trailer

 

 

a couple of nice pictures of it in all its glory after our short drive home

 

 

 

needs a couple of jobs doing but mainly tarting bits

Looks like a good buy - not sure about the colour of the can though!

 

Any reason why you went for the 600 instead of the 900? The 900 is a cracking bike.

i have the same feeling about the can colour thats why its going lol as for why the 600 to the 900 its going to be my 1st legal on road bike so it had to be the smaller engine for insurance, oh and as with most things on autoshite it was an impulse buy 

[hairnet]

going off the oatcake pic not 17 so you shouldnt get too bummed on ins surely

 

friend had rf6 the same colour till he bought a triumph sprint rs says teh zook owners club are a bit anal in places but good for tips and parts

[fordperv]

that's my best mate eating the oatcake but luckily I'm not 17 either haha the ins comes out at £420 just passed but I'm sure if I shop around I'll get it cheaper

[hairnet]

faaaaakin ell

 

the old man bought a kwak 400 eliminator and paid 300 passed test 6 months before

 

them a cbr 600 and it went down to 200

 

pays 140 now for 400 superfour

 

do you live in blackbird leys lololol

 

classic insure it

[fordperv]

I Don't think I can classic insure it properly yet as its only 18 year old, I had thought about it but not got a quote on classic just a regular policy, will definitely be worth a try

We used to have an RF900 at the W.T.C motorcycle school as an instructors bike. A comfy ride and the built in sausage roll holder in the fairing was useful.

[fordperv]

Cheers hairnet but they won't cover with me when passed due to not having a bike licence for over a year

 

I was mega impressed with the small storage compartment, I can't say anything about comfy ride as I havnt ridden it properly yet due to legal restriction lol but when I test rode it round the private ground when it was collected it seemed nice and smooth
