Hi mate,

Did I see you riding westbound along the embankment at Chelsea this morning? I was going Eastbound on the same road :thumbup
 
Yep... were you on your bike !? :confused

i keep seeing a silver RSV coming over Blackfriars from south to north around 830ish in the morning aswell... is that yourself !? :dunno

damn... we got the same outfits !! :biggrin
 
On Enbankment around Chelsea (was running late today) 08:30h it's that's probably me in Blackfriars. Live in SW6 and work in EC1. Glad your bike is running fine now.
 
ahhh... i work off Townmead Road... live in Islington !! :biggrin

the one i see in the mornings is coming over blackfriars bridge from southside to northside... do you cross the river twice or is it another silver 02 !? :dunno

yep... seems finally sorted... i hope !! :pirate

I guess you put in a new uprated battery and replaced the starter solenoid?

Hi... did all that plus some... still would'nt start... but Southern Cross went through everything again with a fine toothcomb... & its been fine ever since... they aint 100% sure what has fixed it... but it works !! :doug
 
I cross the river twice. From North to south at Vauxhal bridge and from south to north normally at Waterloo Bridge, not Blackfriars. I always confuse these last two :biggrin.
 
then theres another !! :eek:

thinking about it i think he has a carbon exhaust can too !! :eek::eek:

& i wanted the silver one because it seemed less common !! :biggrin

iv seen yours a couple of times heading back too SW6 usually between vauxhall bridge the newly opened Shell garage !! :devious

do you need any bits... lol !? :thumbup
 
No mate, mine's got a very loud Stainless yoshi on and for the moment no bits needed. Cheers
 
yep... thought it might of been you... lol... quite a unique name you have but was'nt 100% sure... how you doing !? :biggrin

my 7/12F is in bits at the moment in Dels back garden... lol !! :eatcorn

sadly mine was written off last april but it did give me the chance to get the twin still got loads of gsxr stuff that i need to sell
takin a while to get used to the rsvr after so long on the slingshot but it does need a couple of bits doin headbearings mainly and the ohlins shock repairing after i discovered the height adjuster bolt snapped good to see the 7/12 the exhaust outlet is so unique still got to love the gixer
 
Damn... sorry to hear that... i assume you were ok !? :eek:

iv always wanted a RSV... i actually think it looks better than a 916... lol... lovely bikes !! :inlove

love me 7/12... need to get it ready for the Kempton Show in May... not sure if its going to be ready in time though... lol !! :pirate

took me awhile to re-arrange the exhaust... but wanted it too blend in with Slabside stock looks... was worth the effort i thought !! :devious
