Welcome to the Ivanised gen 1 club! You beat Exupnut to it, brilliant!

And a really nice one too, I'm real pleased for you.
Yeah, 7k rpm is where they really get interesting, glad to hear you're taking your time with that. It'll now be really hard for you to live with any other bike for long - nothing else is as all-round capable as these are for so little dosh.
All we need now is some decent weather so you can really get to know it, at least you got some to pick it up in. Then it'd be really interesting to hear more about what you think of it, especially coming from the 600.

Changed the oil and filter, removed my wing rack and replaced with a grab rail, gave it a quick wipe over

Colour arguments aside (

), I've always liked the black engine/frame ones.

Dead Eye · « **Reply #1280 on:** 17 October 2013, 10:55:29 pm »

Yeah, I'm looking forward to putting some more miles on it and get more comfortable with riding it - more to develop muscle memory more than anything else, I'm quite comfortable riding it in general

I really like the black painted engines as well so that was a big bonus on top of all the other added extras ^^

Apparently the Aeva Media plugin doesn't seem to work for everyone...

Here they are again but via my own hosting :P

After 16000 miles of duty on the front I "retired" the BT 023 for T 30

Lets see how this one lasts!

Pushed the fucking thing half a mile along the hard shoulder because I ran out of petrol on the M6 this morning.

I'm usually good for 200 miles, so I don't know why it ran out after 190. Maybe it was my enthusiastic riding this past week?

Exupnut · « **Reply #1290 on:** 20 October 2013, 08:36:46 am »

Bad luck. To get away with half a mile runin dry on a motorway is very lucky. Could have been just after a junction. Fukin heavy tho when ya push em :-)

mr self destruct · « **Reply #1291 on:** 20 October 2013, 01:01:02 pm »

True, Corley services is at the top of a long hill, so if I'd have run out 5 minutes later it would have been a hell of a lot worse. $:\$

Nice pic by the way.

Went to HTB .

Doddsie · « **Reply #1293 on:** 20 October 2013, 07:25:04 pm »

Changed oil, filter and plugs, then sat down with a beer or two and took out all the engine bolts one by one and cleaned them!!

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #1294 on:** 20 October 2013, 08:01:08 pm »

As soon as I saw you had posted on this thread Doddsie, I thought, Foc off, we know, you polished it some more!

Of course, I should have thought, foc off, we know, you drank some beer and polished it some more!

Exupnut · « **Reply #1295 on:** 20 October 2013, 09:05:07 pm »

Nothing wrong with beer and polish. Altho i prefer beer/guitar and a little bit of groove :-)
Burp!

After today's drenching on the way home mine's developed a misfire, there's a disturbing squealing noise coming from the front wheel and the alarm keeps going off, so it might be time to book it into a garage again.
