Borrow it on a summer day.....they're epic.....and Like 'Spinal Tap' they go to 11 (11,000 rpm)

Have to confess that the Tuono has moved on to be replaced by an RSV4 RF........oooh yes...
201 bhp and 70 kg lighter than the ZZR

Now at least I can see where I'm going behind the fairing down the Bentley back straight at Snetterton....

And if it wasn't for anti wheelie and traction control, I don't think it would be rideable by this mere mortal.....

Happy. days...

Traction control was on full the other day & it was in wuss mode, there's good chance I might get to ride it next year, my mate has finally had his first new knee done today, should be having the other done around springtime

RSV4 RF ….. happy days indeed mate, once a biking nut hippy, always a biking nut hippy

Ah ha you were riding the Gen 2 model then .....they can be dynoed and ECU rewritten for,an easy 205 bhp......
Mate has run one at Elvington....(straight line speed event) and had 203 mph out of one.......

Oooh yes

Anyway better get back to Jeeps before that all get upset.....

And I thought my Blackbird was quick, that baby just felt so smooth & easy to ride, could be going very quick without realising it, 200 MPH is a bit mindboggling though

Nah, nobody's reading this mate

Those tyres look super aggressive Donk!

Shame about import and stuff....sadly that's why I had to go for 39.5" as opposed to 42" was a major ££££increase to get the larger ones in......

Reckon the future is second hand Unimog tyres that all seem to be 40-44 in an agricultural pattern.

Also found a place that will make the 20" rims in your chosen PCI....
Unless you're rich and get Staz !

Jez, is it called the one tonne because of the weight of all that tubing

donk498 · « **Reply #533 on:** December 12, 2018, 09:36:55 PM »

How about these instead then, already in the country.

Ezz · « **Reply #534 on:** December 12, 2018, 10:08:35 PM »

Oooooo 44” boggers,

wildwood · « **Reply #535 on:** December 12, 2018, 11:07:57 PM »

Mmmm nice boggers , shame I've got 18" rims..... Helps avoid temptation

The weight of the cage is mental..... It take two determined people to lift it off.....

I usually use my trailer straps to haul it to the ceiling and then drive out

Got to do this in a couple of days to finish weld and spray some paint......

Got some metal flake silver (60's Beach Buggy type paint) it will make a change from green everywhere.

Jez, take no notice of Donk, he’s a sod for making folk part with cash, he sent me a link a few weeks ago and within days I was £1200 lighter and the owner of 4 new boots.

gazjeep · « **Reply #537 on:** December 13, 2018, 06:48:22 PM »

Eeeerrrrrr they are well suited, Jez made me buy a new exhaust for my trusty CBR a while back, bugger sent me links to shiny things & so I was compelled to part with £££, granted not £1200 but he would if he could have

wildwood · « **Reply #538 on:** December 13, 2018, 08:01:23 PM »

Oops forgot about that Gaz......

Good exhaust though eh?

And to make matters worse Morocycles Direct In Watford sent me a mind bender......

Up to £1,800 off rrp and 0% Apr with £199 deposit on all Kawasaki bikes.....

Supercharged 200 bhp H2 SX included.......

Get thee behind me Satan......

OK, in your defence mate, the zorst was probably the best thing I have done to the bike, closely followed by heated grips

Up to £1,800 off rrp and 0% Apr with £199 deposit on all Kawasaki bikes.....

Supercharged 200 bhp H2 SX included.......

Get thee behind me Satan......

In the words of Ozzie ... Satan laughing spreads his wings .... Oh Lord yeh .....

Buy it, buy it now, you know you want to, just do it

wildwood · « **Reply #540 on:** December 14, 2018, 11:35:20 AM »

So very correct....

Only live once

Just booked some more track days for 2019.... Cadwell and Snetterton.....on the RSV4

Oooh yes......

wildwood · « **Reply #541 on:** June 18, 2019, 04:01:01 PM »

Well Dastards ....
There is a Jeep shaped hole in my heart and an effin great space in my Mancave.....

Sat May 25th I sold the 1 Tonne to a Romanian guy who's shipped it back to his place in Romania...
Guy obviously had some cash as he collected on a 'Rose Gold wrapped Yamaha R1' not my sort of bling but there you go.....
The Jeep went on a transporter .....a severely overloaded transporter :hysterical:2.5 Ducato thing.
So 23 years of Jeeping and 9 years of the 1 Tonne...... I have to say apart from meeting you guys and having a blast the enjoyment for me has been learning new skills.....Mig and Tig and various metalwork things and building the 1 Tonne.......
But 7 outings in 9 years kinda spelt out the way things were heading.....

A love affair with Motorbikes and foreign trips and track day shenanigans have kinda taken over...

I have been slowly selling stuff .....a list is on here and also on eBay as here seems too quiet so go have a look as there's pictures there

I'll drop in and annoy from time to time if there's anyone in......

Might bring some shit to flog in the Ram at Cheapfest if you'll have me

gazjeep · « **Reply #542 on:** June 18, 2019, 06:37:47 PM »

Once a Dastard, always a Dastard mate

I entirely get where your coming from Jez, Horsery & Capri matters have taken over from the Jeep, but never say never

The old adage of Just Empties Every Pocket was written my someone who never restored a classic car & or owned / supported having a horse & accompanying rugs (horse has bigger wardrobe choice than me) & a bloody lorry to transport it !!!!

Don't be a stranger & enjoy the bikes mate

donk498 · « **Reply #543 on:** June 20, 2019, 10:23:45 PM »

Shame it's gone mate, also a shame I couldn't buy it

In other news your knowledge is being questioned on face book

what shall I tell him?

wildwood · « **Reply #544 on:** June 21, 2019, 09:18:47 AM »

Funny old world ....you try and help people?

And still they lack the brain to use the google search facility......
Happy days guys
