Can't contain myself either....as well

Sat Feb 21, 2009 9:02 pm

As of this morning I became the proud owner of this little beasty :D :D :D :D :D

167kg (dry,claimed) of Kawasaki middleweight screaming awesomeness....

Picked up as a repairable write off for a very nice price with all of 750k's on the clock. 08 model "special" edition. "Special" must be japanese for "gay chrome bits and red forks"

I may be biassed but I award her 5 kuda's :kuda: :kuda: :kuda: :kuda: :kuda:

Damage is a ding in the frame, tank, scraped fairing and tail and broken footpeg

Next step is to get her some new clothes and some fancy bits and get her on the track.

I'll post some updated photo's as she comes together

Sorry for the crappy photo's

I didn't say it was the best colour, just it needed to be green.....so it's easy to spot when I'm chasing you down :kuda:


....must help a little bit with making up for missing the CDT
