Bit of bike therapy today

[roofman]

Managed to get a few hours in today on the TL...putting the seat unit back on after paint and other small bits. Ford Daytona Yella from the 70,s, one of my all time fav colours . I want to get this one finnished for the local Easter egg run which every year is massive on the Wirral.

We've got grandkids all weekend !

Nice one, My biking days are behind me, but impressed to pieces by the workshop. Love it.

What happened to the other ¾ of the numberplate?

 

[Exuptoy]

Loving that mancave!
I need to drag the rotten 73 T2 Bay out of mine and reclaim my space! I think she'd divorce me though!..........anyone want to buy a bay!

Was out on one of mine Wednesday before my night shift and again for a quick blast this morning.

Exuptoy you need to change your name!
I don't think Yamaha had even invented the "exup valve" when that CBR was made!

 

[Exuptoy]

Haha, the user name goes way back to hen I had the Exup RU (followed by the R1 5JJ).

Harrison L5A....

some more today including a start up and idle for 20 mins till the fan cut in..sounds like the devil now ive stubbied the cans no better sound than a big V twin.

I love it! One of my faves from the 90's. I took one out but ended up passing on it and got the Exup. Nearest I got was this, and what a tool that was. The R1 made way for it.

Yes the good ole RSV...another thumping twin that gets the heart racing

 

[Exuptoy]

Yeah, mine was the R model too so had all the Ohlins kit, Brembo brakes and OZ wheels as standard. Sorry to keep jumping in on your thread by the way.

I had the standard one of those for a few years, learned alot about how to handle a sportsbike from it, set me up well for owning my fireblade.
I was a member of the RSVZONE back 2008ish when it was still good
EDIT: just found a pic. I had mine painted black to tidy up the fairing

Hey buddy its a bike thread so lets roll with replies and pics from all, not a problem

 

[roofman]

Hoping to get a pair of Pirelli Diablo Corsa,s this weekend to mount on these...yep i like yella

 

[cocker]

Everyone's going to see you coming!!

 

[Exuptoy]

I'm glad you like yellow!
If it were mine I think the wheels would have been anthracite or gunmetal to break it up but thats just me. The tyres will soften the edge anyway and give it some contrast. Can't wait to see it finished.
