[NINJA]

@Glynn123 Lovely pipes those, you should start a build thread bud and post some pics for us all to drool over!!! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: :face_with_tears_of_joy:

@NINJA haha yeah had a build thread for when I done my USD conversion etc, a lot has changed since then and done some extra little mods and got some super sticky Conti attack SM tyres fitted
Got some more plans for this winter if I keep the bike so should be more to come

[NINJA]

@Glynn123 You should update the thread dude and show us all your handiwork.

[Glynn123]

@NINJA will have a look over this week and see what I can do mate, phone camera is awful though haha

[Calum]

@Glynn123 Can't be worse than my phone camera...stick rocking Sony Ericson W810i!

[stinkwheeler]

@Calum lmao i bet thats because everytime you go to buy a new phone ... theres always that one bike bit that you didn't know you needed

[Calum]

@stinkwheeler Well that and no one ever rings me so I don't exactly need a phone.

[stinkwheeler]

@Calum its verry much the same for me in that respect of not getting phonecalls .... i literally just use my phone for taking pics ... googleing things ... buying bike parts on ebay .... and most importantly this forum lol i do spend more time than i should looking at other builds for ideas to steal

[Glynn123]

@Calum iPhone 5s mate, shocking camera when it came out, worse God knows how many years later. New phones aren't at the top of my priorities either haha

[stinkwheeler]

Hey guys back again with a little update I've not had a lot of time recently but have a week to get it on the road as the rs has become porley lol so I've fitted the graphics today and got the new panels on and a mock up of the exhaust just have to make a bracket and take it for mot will fit new cylinder and zeeltronic and fat bars when i get more time .... ![alt text] http://imgur.com/gallery/8T2UhIW

[Calum]

I like how your graphics have your username on them

[stinkwheeler]

@Calum ha thanks i thought it was quite quirky lol and i just built it mainly to build a thread on the forum as my last one was stolen i need to get another daily too but I'm torn between another two stroke or a ktm rc for work

[Calum]

@stinkwheeler How far is work.

The one thing I miss from my commute is the smiles on my DT riding like a bit of a tool. Always safely, always within the limits, but there was something about the ring ting and smoke that put a smile on my face.

Not sure I'd get a KTM personally, too hefty price tag for something not as good had it been made ten years ago.

I'd opt to get something very cheap, very reliable. Honda CG. But RC is a lovely bike.

@Calum boring 4 strokes though you know the 125s lack a certain excitement factor more practical but I’m not a fan of the 125 four stroke engine anything over that I like though

[Calum]

@declan Yeah, but it's not all about excitement. You're going to work and you want to get there reliably. On a budget, then they have a certain finese. Hence why I wouldn't go all out on a 125 fourstroke. Get a cheap and cheerful one.

[declan]

@Calum I get that, as a tool it works

[Calum]

@declan Just get something like a CBR600. Cheap and reliable.

[stinkwheeler]

@Calum work is 15 plus miles each way i have a car test booked for November 29 but money is tight i have 2.5 k to play with for a bike but also no full bike test as i never bothered i bought a gsxr 750 i rode around on for a year (like an idiot ) but failed my test and didn't retake it i probably will after my car test but for the moment it was between another new rs125 2t for 1200 or a ktm rc125 for 2.5k that i was looking at i was thinking the ktm would be boring and reliable as where the rs would be more fun but a nightmare for being reliable as its 2 stroke ..... but in essence i have ridden a dt to work for the last ten years 30 miles plus a day ... and after it was stolen i bought the rs and have done 2 years on this with just a top end rebuild engine wise and a new carb ....
