rsv strip down(at last)

Thats Beanies bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow i woulnt have a clue . i did notice the frame is nice and shiny inside though ;-) ..

Yep, thats her alright, Looks like the phoneix is gonna rise from the ashes again, to stomp over some more silver ones, eh lee :biggrin

In her former Glory, In the sun, that seems like a year ago already.

you wish beanie mate you know the silver ones are fastest ones:nana:nana:nana:nana

Hi people, I'm helping Evan on this (no, I'm not the ugly one on pic 4..) and he's been keeping me updated with links to the forum so I thought was only polite to pop in and say hello..I know the bike looks in a bit of a state now, but we'll get her right again:thumbup

Blimey that Red And black next to yours Beanie looks the bollocks :devious

and welcome Pedro, hop to see some more pics soon :thumbup

Yeah, just a shame it was sooooooo slow on the mountain section, think it had something to do with the small foreign plate on it meant it was castrated :biggrin, or the owners cahooneys wern't big enough to be able to play with the big boys:biggrin:biggrin:biggrin

Or they were just constantly drunk or hungover, and knackered from the ride up from frogland, :thumbup

I know, tbh I would have rather gone without losing the frame, but that is the deal the breakers have with the DVLA nowadays. I'm a Ducati man(sorry guys) and next on the chopping board is a 996, don't know if I'll be able to cut my beloved trellis. Is such a shame to see how many people just brake bikes for parts when all they need is a bit of work, especially when, as a biker, you can see the time and effort the owners have spent on them (as in the case of Beanies' bike).

Youll see the light M8 like we all have and buy an Aprilia

:thumbup

After busting myself up on a zx6 and a car head on 5 years ago, and spending 2 years having my shoulder rebuilt, i bought a kr1s to get back into the groove, but that decided to repay me by cracking a crankcase, so i bought a B*w, but was too big and heavy, considered a bla**e, but relised i could get alot more ape for not much more wonga, so on a tightish budget i cought her.

As time has gone by, only 8 months i know, but alot of dealing and buying off ebay from around the world, i had managed to get her looking ok, which is good, but more important to me is something that handles sweet, and has a luverrrly growl when you open the throttle, you know what your gonna get, a big GRIN.

To me, this is what is so special about this bike, and why i am both sorry to lose her to a new home, and glad that she will give someone else a chance to experience it for themselves.

Me, well, the bugs bitten, since buying and losing her, i have had the insurance cheque payout, and i have some spare cash stashed in a account, that is going to go towards a newer model, hopefully a 2005 onwards, although i reckon it's gonna get a respray quite soon, as none of the colours match my riding kit. lol

I think of her as a introductory bike, to twins, grins and a empty bank balance :thumbup

Beanie, on the description of the bike in your garage I couldn't help to notice you mention a PC3, but there isn't sign of it on the bike. Do you know anything about it?

Yeah, i have it hear, i had the inforad and alarm and all my personal bits removed from the bike by the insurance company engineer before i signed her over and returned to me, as they were'nt covered.

I have found out i can use it on my new bike when i get it, so have no intention to sell it, cheers
