bigpants Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Hi there everyone. Just introducing myself before letting loose with all the questions about my non-running bike. Im 48 , ridden a bike every day for the last 32 years (except when on holiday or in hospital) , im a club racer (crmc) and i live in a cabin in a beautiful bluebell woods with no electricity. I bought my '87-88 1100h slabby about 10 years ago for £400 ! It was my first big bike and i loved it to bits , i especially loved the way it tried to throw me off on almost every journey. When it packed up about 7 years ago it got replaced by a guzzi 1100 sport cafe racer , then a vtr1000 firestorm . Ive also got an aprillia rs125 , a Gurls blouse nv50 stream (you gotta see one of those to believe how fugly they are), a homemade kx500 streetfighter , a 1986 Gurls blouse rs125 nd4 race bike and im currently working on a maico 620 2-stroke streetfighter. Im riding the stripped down guzzi at the moment but that never lasts for long and i keep looking longingly at the slabby so last week i wheeled it into my living room , i should have remembered to refit the oil cooler , my floorboards will never recover. So now im surrounded by tools and say what now!? bits and puddles of oil , empty beer cans and full ashtrays , at least its still summer. Quote
SBK1000 Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Welcome! I am new my self. Guys are very helpful here. Seems you like your Cafe and Streetfighters too... Post some pictures of your stable starting with your Slabby! This is the inspiration for my Slingshot project... Quote
bigpants Posted August 29, 2017 Author Posted August 29, 2017 Ooh yeah , thats a tasty machine. I'll try to get some pics of mine uploaded when i can but in the mean time just do a google images search for 'kx500 streetfighter' . Mines usually the first that comes up , all black and shiney. Quote

I like the Guzzi Sport 1100 myself but the other mods here will probably delete it, like any other off-topic pics. We are a special bunch here. Anyway, welcome to OSS Quote
