I rise above you're futile attempts at baiting me-your seat hump was placed in the care of the post office local to me on saturday dear chap.
I'm sure i can manage to paint the damage to Hondas usual standard-why i'll even buy a new brush

Nice bike Blandy, my brother had one as a loan bike for a couple of months, so i had the chance to put it to the test.
I was suprised how light it was, but then considering what i ride the QE2 would feel light. It has a nice growl when you give it some welly, and boy did it go.
By the looks of the DP standard of work you couldnt go far wrong, what a magic set of brushes.
Matching silver... mmm.. probably about as easy as matching Gold, had to do that once.... nightmare !

In case you get the VFR and need a new headlight assembly, give me a shout. I priced out a full tailight and turn signal assembly for a guy in the UK last year and it was half of what he would have payed in the UK. And the price that was given to me was full retail.
To avoid extra duty and taxes, I could let it sit for a few days to collect dust and mark it up with a felt pen, then declare it's a used part. Could even put some mud on it at no charge

You just pay me for the shipping charges and a couple of bucks for fuel.

I have been offered a ZZR1100 by my mechanical chappy which is very pleasant...

Feck DS,

that's some deal...
I tried to get a new exhaust for my VFR750FJ last year. They were priced up to £600.

Blandy-the ZZR 1100 will eat you alive at the 1st opportunity, its a bit bigger than a bandy & an awful lot more powerfull, if you do decide on it (& why not, its one of the best bikes i've ever owned) just treat it with respect-oh, & stop once in a while to let hilts catch up!

Feb 13 2004, 09:25 PM
ZZR11's are about the best bargain out there in my opinion. Best bikes Ive ever owned.
