nzknut Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 "I know, I'll fuck up a perfectly good bike by painting everything green" It looked really really shit, but tidy still IYSWIM, like they'd had some attention to detail just no taste.

GREENGOATCHOKER Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 we bought the bike in its rizla colours about 7 or so years ago from a guy in louth . the rebuild and paint was all shite . none of the paint had been undercoated and pretty much immediately started lifting . the engine was held together with various types of glue . it took me 7 hours to ride the bike home as just about everything fell off . was quick though and showed 120 against a couple of guys in caterhams . the wife rode it around for about 2 years , but the whole experience was pretty grim as you never knew if the bike get you home . sometimes it would just cut out and die or not restart . after numerous attempts to sort out various issues with pv's , water pump , electrics we gave up and sold it . long story short , wasn't looking for something to do but i got offered a kr1 threw a friend of a friend . wife said she liked her trx to much to go back , but it was too cheap to turn down . i am guessing it had spent some of the interim time on the track as virtualy everthing was scraped or bent , in fact if anyone has a right hand can i can't quite get the last of the marks out . the wife thinks its so pretty she has said i can have it in the house . so once i get the tiles down i'm gonna make a perspex cabinet for it and put it in the front room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikemike Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I'm gonna make a perspex cabinet for it and put it in the front room. Just as long as you take it out every so often and give it a damn good thrashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
