Title: Re: Wad'ya get for Chrisie Post by: monstermick58 on December 25, 2010, 11:20:25 PM Track day ... although I have to wait until March. + Another book to try and teach me how to ride. Mark, maybe a superbike school, its not like you cant ride, cos I know you can, you need to build up some of your skills so you can really enjoy the potential that your bikes have [thumbsup] Mmick Title: Re: Wad'ya get for Chrisie Post by: Betty on December 26, 2010, 12:39:44 AM Mark, maybe a superbike school, its not like you cant ride, cos I know you can, you need to build up some of your skills so you can really enjoy the potential that your bikes have [thumbsup] Mmick Yep done 1.5 days of Superbike School + Stay Upright + HART. Would rate Superbike School the highest ... but it costs me $1,000+ a day. The book costs $30 and I can work through it on the train [cheeky] ... there is always something to learn (and I am a slow learner [laugh]) Title: Re: Wad'ya get for Chrisie Post by: monstermick58 on December 26, 2010, 02:13:07 AM Sounds like you have done the homework Mark,
I'll tell you what works for me, observation, I watch what people do, whether it be on the track or on the road, follow ans observe, sometimes I dont like what some people are doing but every once in a while I pick up on things that I will try and try I will, if it works great if not then move on, but you never stop learning. I'm gunna shut-up now.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. I don't know if she loves you or hates you. But we can't possibly help until we can see what we are talking about. What exactly do you mean by bling? Don't know if its cool to bling a bevel. Do Vee Two still do this stuff? I seem to recall they were changing their business structure ... Monsta? Gowies: http://www.ducati-gowanloch.com/catalog/index.php (http://www.ducati-gowanloch.com/catalog/index.php) or Road & Race: http://www.roadandrace.com.au/ (http://www.roadandrace.com.au/) ... both kinda local, but it depends on what you are after. Title: Re: Wad'ya get for Chrisie Post by: Roaduser on December 30, 2010, 06:12:57 PM ive seen one with a windowed bevel cover dunno if its std or not but was kinda cool. paint it in era correct silver glitter paint!! that'l bling.
did a quick google images search and found this for inspiration!! damn its perfect.and he revs it to 12000rpm!! :o quote of the month for me “The motorcycle’s handling is so stable that ineptitude becomes mere mediocrity, mediocrity in turn graduates to competence and competence blossoms into sheer corner-swooping finesse.” http://motorcyclepictureoftheday.blogspot.com/2010/02/gobsmackingly-beautiful-ducati.html (http://motorcyclepictureoftheday.blogspot.com/2010/02/gobsmackingly-beautiful-ducati.html) Title: Re: Wad'ya get for Chrisie Post by: monstermick58 on December 30, 2010, 08:09:24 PM http://motorcyclepictureoftheday.blogspot.com/2010/02/gobsmackingly-beautiful-ducati.html (http://motorcyclepictureoftheday.blogspot.com/2010/02/gobsmackingly-beautiful-ducati.html) I'm in lurve :-* [bow_down] [drool] Mmick Title: Re: Wad'ya get for Chrisie Post by: Spider on December 30, 2010, 11:00:16 PM Rancilio Silvia espresso machine

Don't get love or hate question ??? More specifically, rear sets (similar to 900ss), White guages and custom dash (same as pic of the day), Single seat and cowl, Paint, and so on. Lots of pics for inspiration but hard to find info on bits. I know Gowies and Road and Race have most of it but always keen for new ideas and products. Its a good start, Its already got Conti pipes, Cross drilled brakes, 40mm Dellortos and Cams. I will post some pics soon. Title: Re: Wad'ya get for Chrisie Post by: Betty on December 31, 2010, 04:28:38 PM Don't get love or hate question ??? It was some gift that's for sure. I was more concerned about what 'project bike' meant ... in that was it a basket of bits that could torment your life for years/decades to come. Regardless, she obviously doesn't mind that you continue to spend more time messin' about in the garage or 'researching'. Kinda like our neighbour who mows the lawn 3 times a week ... I always think he is in the proverbial 'dog-house'. Yesterday there was a nice 750ss square case up at PITS ... you don't see that many out and about. Best of luck with it. Title: Re: Wad'ya get for Chrisie Post by: tricolore on December 31, 2010, 06:37:30 PM Project bike being something to tinker with, I have spent a couple of hours riding around on it. It rides great, needs shocks and fork rebuild but very strong engine. I have to say I am very impressed so far, should be fun.

I've heard a few bevelheads with other makes of pipe, 2 into 1 etc but the Conti's sound the best, real crisp and clean. Also love the blueing of the pipes where they come out of the heads. Great pressie.Title: Re: Wad'ya get for Chrisie Post by: Betty on January 02, 2011, 02:27:09 AM Some shitty garage shots. Aww I dunno garage doesn't look too shitty to me [laugh] [laugh] [puke] ...

The Suzuki was(only) $1784 if I remember rightly and as it got plenty of praise in the motorcycle press it probably swayed my thinking somewhat, not to mention the $800 odd dollars difference in price Mmick Title: Re: Wad'ya get for Chrisie Post by: Justo on January 06, 2011, 01:36:04 PM http://www.bullsnuts.com.au/item.cgi?BN-ivory (http://www.bullsnuts.com.au/item.cgi?BN-ivory)
