Well done m8 BTW, i passaed my DAS about a month ago now, been out scaring myself shitless on my GSX-R 600. Got the 600 mile service tomoz, so after that can use the full rev range - oh shiiiiit! Feels good, dunnit?

Keep seeing a few round my neck o' the woods. Unfortunately there's a white one that parks outside me old man's hotel engaging in cruise time with common nova's and saxo's - gonna have to have a word in his shell-like, methinks......

Crazy, crazy fools ...I lived in Castle Coombe as a nipper until i was 12, and not ONCE can i remember EVER hearing loud car exhausts. Then again, that was back in the mid/late 70's, when the village consisted of 'local' people (i know..League of Gentlemen ), and not like it is now where no-one actually 'lives' there (i.e uses local services, schools etc...) It's all posh nobs down from the Smoke to the weekend retreat with Giles and his public school chums. Basically Nimby's (ya'll know what i mean?) Piss's me off when the people that probably complain are too old, doddery and eaf to enjoy life and the thrills of motorsport anyway. So where in the UK now is it still allowed to race a car, or had UberLord Tony got a plan to have us all driving batterie powered fart wagons by the time of the next election. World gone mad. I'm gonna buy a tent and live on the 'Ring. (Rant over)

Whale hunting from an automobile? WTF? I'm sure some of these are made up ye know....

Hehe, cheers paul. So you dont think blingy rims and badly fitted lambo doors are the way forward then?

Did'nt JC get banned by Toyota from reviewing thier cars for some infantile slagging off of one of thier models a while back?

I'm not going - it's my birthday tomoz and i'm gonna PAAAAAARTAAAAYYY!!! So best off away from the car hehe

Hi paul, Glad you were happy with the results - your car certainly sounded 'tuned'! Had mine on the rollers after - quite happy with results, only Pete came to the conclusion that my turbo seals are on thier way out Knocked up a quick shopping list of hybrid twins, SAFC, AVC-R, 550 injectors and walbro FPR - hmmmm, which bank to rob? Take it easy with that rocket chap!

I'll be up for this one m8

If you can afford it - do it! Mine was standard silver before, and how many silver cars are there on the road now? Lurvely lotus azure blue now - fantastic colour when the sun hits it.

Ive always found the little 'ashtray' compartment just behind the gearstick is a handy place for phones

I must say, i do like the dash/cockpit on that VTR - v. cool!

Cheers roy - when guy at shop said finance was ok, and which bike did i want, i was like a kid in a sweet shop Was originally gonna go for the standard spec gixer, but the special edition looks that little bit more special, plus you get a nice shiny yoshi can as well! Hopefully it will hold it's price a little bit better than the normal one, might be a selling point when it comes to it (not for a long while yet tho'...)

Just about found the best quote so far - Elite Underwriters qouting £600 FC, garaged...i know that's alot, but you shoulda seen the rest

When i get the bike next week there'll be pics!

Cheers guys - i'm doing the DA and test in Cheltenham, closest reputable place to me to do it.Really looking forward to it now - want to get me leg over pronto!

Crap - my spelling/typing really needs improving! That's 'gold', not 'glod', and grooved instead of gorrved. Not really an idiot, honest!

Thanks for the encouraging comments guys - really stoked to get it! Just spent the majority of the morning getting insurance quotes - not as bad as i originally thought they would be... She's got a yoshi can on as part of the limited edition spec BTW (with a removable baffle ), also blue chain (!), glod anodized chain tensioners, special gorrved discs and slightly different coloured livery. WELL CHUFFED!

Ees verrry nice! Could do with lowering just a tad IMHO tho'.. What type of bodykit is that BTW?

Do'h - supragal beat me to it again!

Paul - DA = Direct Access - so old(ish) buggers like me can do a quick 3 day course, take thier test and ride any size bike they want Roy - Cheers m8! Will defo be taking it easy to start with - quite a few ponys per pound there i'll wager...Bird i'm seeing at the mo. wants to ride pillion - she'll just have to wait i guess

Doing my DA test next week, so as a bit of 'motivation' bought a brand spanking suzuki GSX-R 600KS 20th anniversary limited edition model. Looks FANTASTIC! Just hope i pass my test now
