My names Geo, I live in wiltshire and ... ... *Deep breath* I'm addicted to bikes!
I've been riding coming up to 3 years and not a single one of my bikes has stayed standard for more than a week after I got it!
I started out on an Apilia RS125 which i blew up multiple times and did so much work to a list would take up several pages! In the end managed to squeeze just over 36BHP out of, up from the standard 25-26.
I then sold that after it blew up one to many times and bought myself an FZR 400 3EN1 EXUP. It was a bike on my bucket list and i only kept it for a few months in which time I completely rewired the bikes, reworked the airbox to improve flow, converted the rear shock to a CBR600rr, converted to a 17" rear wheel and made up some adjustable fork caps for. That was then sold due to not wanting to ruin one of my favorite bikes of all time though excessive tinkering and I bought my current steed!
This is how the bike stood when i first bought it :
It was an ex-school bike with just over 40k miles on the clock. It was almost completely standard and hadn't been ridden for over 2 years. My first experience on it was about 10ft from where i picked it up, it was raining after a dry spell, pulled onto a roundabout got a bit over enthusiastic with the throttle on the way round and span up the rear wheel resulting in a rather marvelous drift. All thanks to rock solid and very old tyres.
And this is how it stands now:
A lot of work has gone into the bike and there is plenty more still to come. If people are interested then i will stick up a thread of the project up to now and then carry it on as i continue work on the bike. Already got a project thread on a couple of other forums :]
ta'ra for now
