[Obi-Wan is lost...]

On a bikes tip, my bro just got one of these...

Note the factory fitted titanium exhaust. Sweet.

gsxr1000, niiiiiice,

note the crappy welding on the swing arm tho, shite !

That exhaust may be Ti, but it's still ugly as fuck.

My old bike was a GSXR-750 which had been tested by MCN as the fastest ever road-going 750 (I bought the ex MCN test bike) at 173mph. Probably slow compared to the latest model!

Nah soapy, your behind the times thats the latest Japanese 'multi-adjustable mono-shock box-section  hybrid-substrate welded rising-rate Hollow-core pivot linkage swingarm in alloy welded carbon'  You pay loads extra for that!

Damn straight, yowth!



But one in better nick than this.

i was diverted in my quest for superbly finished harris parts, but no longer!

I've always fancied a Supermotard bike - they'd be a lot of fun whilst keeping speeds in the vaguely avoiding prison range.

a lot of fun

I wish I had a picture of it...

In my youth, me and a friend coverted a plastic barrel, that's right a plastic barrel, to accept a PC50 moped engine.  Front stearing was by lean only (on the skateboard that was lashed to the underside).  But it went!  We had to take the exhaust off, like, fuck it was loud. 

It worked.  We called it The Pig.

That'd be mental

I once had a KTM 300 single 2-stroke that was tuned for an international enduro racer. The idea was that it'd be a sensible winter bike but it turned out to be utterly insane. It was so loud I had to wheel it to the bottom of the street before starting it up lest the neighbours beat me up. It would wheely all over the place and I managed to perfect broadsiding up to junctions, then blatting out popping a wheely What a laugh.

I agree with the whole loaded van and something to fill the need for speed.
Currently owning a '72 vw camper westfalia im half way there, its so good for travelling, and I love the simplicity of the old flat4 aircooled engines however its not the quickest thing on the planet (Engine transplant anyone?).
I'd love something nippy for those roads around the peak and north yorkshire. Used to drive a mini cooper sport (one of the last ever) and it was a dream, so much fun. Think some people did a civic type R conversion and someone even did a hiabusi transplant to create crazily fast RWD mini's, I bet theyre fun. Anyone owned a renault 5 gt turbo?

Please no more pictures of bikes....it would work well with the van though wouldnt it?

Any pictures of the lexus in question?
