10 days ... looking very clean so i gues you have not been out on it yet

[OBN]

I've been on on the big, its done a massive 1500 miles almost.

Just meant no-one had posted anything in the car care forum since 20th September, Mmmm car care forum, and I post a bike car thread.

But it was Dr Wul's recommendations put into practice on the bike

[PACMAN]

He will have to re-name it for bike care your case :eek::blackeye::p

1500 miles and not a bug on it... must have been going very slow :blackeye:;)

[OBN]

Slow what's slow? part of the reason for getting the mini was to allow me to have fun at slower speeds!

[Scottie]

what speeds were you guys doing and where to get a ban or was it just your points building up to the limit

90 in a 30 .......side ways on a rounabout .... using the drive side window as the front window ..... and oh i forgot... test driving the new MR2 at the time :eek:

[OBN]

My licence was clean, got 3 month ban for 105 on the motorway.

On the bright side at least I never got any points

should of try to agree at 97 so that you only got 3 point... my friend did that;)

[OBN]

was a camera van on a flyover on the motor they had me on video, and thats the speed the recorded after i'd hit the brakes, cause the Porsche in front was braking!

My lawyer thought I'd get 6 points or a month ban at worst

ah ...totally screwed then :disapprove:

[OBN]

Yep, in court basically if u had grey hair u got off.
One old guy had 6 points in his licence for 2 previous was got doing 95 in sixty judge said i should give u 6 points but then u'd be disqualified to i'll give u 5. I thought my lucks in, but then i got a 3 month ban for the same 35 over the limit

[Scottie]

jeez and here is me never above 70mph.;)

Know a few guys who have lost their licence for doing 90 in a 60 on the A9 6 months ban.

The camera van waits just past the over taking lane (which i still 60mph) but everyone speeds like hell to get past the lorries then bang your done.:(

[OBN]

Cash machines!

doesn't sound like a "black spot" to me which is where the camera vans should be

let me guess... no warming sign as per usual
:disapprove:

[OBN]

There must be an accident black spot then on the M74 about 10 miles north of Gretna, even though there's no junctions and its miles away from civilization!

[sedgie]

Lol i'll watch for that wan when i drive doon there in 2 weeks;)

[OBN]

To be honest mate, after being hauled up in front of a judge in Dumfries, I wouldn't break the speed limit at all whilst in Dumfries and Galloway, unless you've got grey hair as that seemed to be the get out of jail free card.

[sedgie]

grey yes...but covered up wi hair dye lolol;);)

[OBN]

Put away the dye befoer your court appearance and you'll be fine

[sedgie]

Haha...cannae dae that!:eek:...wuid jist say hubby was driving...he grey;)

[OBN]

I like your thinking

[Wul]

Anyway back on topic - that's an excellent looking Busa - good work :cool:

[OBN]

Thanks Wul, but its not a Busa, its a K6 GSX-R750

Thanks for the Meguiars advice.

Never heard of it before, was always an Auto Glym man before

a busa :D abit to slow for that if you dont count the petrol stop that the busa has to make... roughly about 60-80 miles to the tank. £24 to fill ;)

[OBN]

£10 fills the Gixer with V-power all those extra horses count

what is the range on 14-15 litres ?

[OBN]

Fuel light is on after about 100 miles, not pushed the reserve to max but probs about 20 miles if you take it easy.

After a 100 miles your glad of a fuel stop to stretch ur legs and arms

Alright Alright so I haven't bought a copy of PB for a few years - shoot me!! :clown::I At least it has the same looks as a Busa - I coulda said something reallly stoooopid like a CBR or TL!!! LOL! ;):p:D

Now the TL1000R - That was some bike - had a few shots of my mates one and he eventually cracked the frame at the headstock from wheelying it too much!!:I

Still find myself checking out the prices of pocket rockets like RGV's and 350LC's on ebay!! <sighs> Those were the days eh Gordy!!?? 8)

[OBN]

You should go for it Wul, then we can all benefit from your exceptional cleaning skills, now how do you keep the tyres and the chain clean?

[Wul]

Well in the good old days I used to use gunk to clean off the chain lube overspray - try Muc Off - it's the bees knees and usually on offer in halfrauds in the BikeHut bit. :)
