gs7_11 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Hi folks, just joined. I was a member here years back on the old forum (don't know if anyone remembers?), but 10 years ago I had a break from bikes after about 27 years of being pretty intense about it, and sold my 7/11 to a friend. Long story. Anyway, just recently I had a go on a cousin's bike, and decided I needed one. So I bought two! I approached the new (if you can call 10 years new) owner and he agreed to sell the bike back to me as he hadn't been using it that much and has other irons in the fire. (I believe he's a member here BTW). I originally bought the bike as a stock 750 back in 97, and it's gone through various iterations since then. Currently it is 1085 Wiseco, Kent Race Cams, Mikuni flatslides, GSXR1100g/h forks, Metmachex swinger etc etc. It does 110bhp at the back wheel. I've sold it twice and bought it back both times now. (I know, WTF!!) The first pic is when it was reviewed by Classic Mechanics, and the second was taken yesterday Cheers! Martin. 7 Quote Link to comment

BTW I'm sure I saw your bike (or one of them) round and about when I lived down in Chapel? Did you go to Big 4 in Whaley bridge? Quote Link to comment
Fazz711 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Big 4. There's a blast from the past. I think wraith used them so probably where you saw one of his superb builds Quote Link to comment
