Ok told everyone about this in the general discussions page , and though better put her in here.

She is a:
2002 zx7r
Green, black & white
mods so far from what i can tell is a sweet sounding micron exhaust. and apart from that i havent dun anything due to the fact i got her home tonight.
She is a repairable ride off.
She was layed down on her leftside, so really an easy fix.
Started her up when i got her home. she is a sweet sounding machine. but i think she needs her vavles dun. ill hae to get them checked.
Um dont know what else but ill keep everyone updated.
This is to stop me from buying a bigger bike and screaming down the old road haha. my new little project.
Best thing is that i have already fixed the punk. which was worse off, so i just need to replace the gear selecter which im getting from kelens tomorrow morning. top and left side fairings so far !!!!! :? :?
Ok ill shut up and here are some pics after my ride up the street:

Ill shoe the damage tomorrow when there is more light, and my back is not killing {i pulled the back muscle lifting the trailer and bike hahaha, im not that strong anymore. me thinks i need to start training again.

i know, once its done and its all fixed, AND once the father inlaw finally gets his bike ill bring it down. just need to conect up the toebar i bought off ebay which might be a drama, since the exhaust is in the way, and need a new trailer. looking at a 8 by 5 on ebay. looks good.

Punk the mighty quick job you did on the GPX means this should be ready by 8am tomorrow...maybe an hour or two later due to sore back but come on HTFU. :lol: I picked up a reasonable trailer there about a month ago for $330 that does the job OK.

i just got a nice massage and half a tube of deep heat on the bloody back. HTFU!!!! mmmm i got the injury from martial arts if that helps. been kicked a couple of times there in the lower back near the kidneys. apart from that. lifting a trailer and bike on it wasnt that light hahaha

also cant legally ride this one so im taking my time. plus ihave to fix the punk still so i can sell her to my nephew in a few months. and have to fix the bloody car after the misses crushed the front end and bodykit hahaha

Yeah I used to like martial arts...could watch it all day. My son got his junior black belt and my ex BIL used to be a technical director or something. Timing should work out well with the colder months coming up. Hate to hit black ice up in them there hills. :o
