    What's left of my bike after my off... I think it's fixable but won't know til my collarbone heals and I can start stripping and rebuilding.... :(

    You can't really see it, but the rad was pushed right back into the headers and burst. To fix up I need: new nosecone, headlights, brake lever, right rearset, right fairing, clutch cable, new radiator/fan

    Just showed a mate in work the pics and he asks "what sort of bike is a Hellraiser" !!! :D

    while on the subject of scuffed motors

    My old sv650s after a lowside in the back arse of Clifden (attempting the circuit of ireland iron butt challenge) and about 2 days before I sold it (for peanuts) in disgust.

    Woulda been the third time I would have had to fix her up (cost me 3 months in a cast the first time with a broken wrist after a 70km kerb impact! second time was a lowside at Mondello..needed to replace the top yoke)

    Still miss the sound the the twin

    I scuffed my old CB in a few places :pac:

    My pride and joy received some damage:( Not from an off though. My German Shepherd has decided that he likes the taste of yellow plastic now. And the rain cover I got in Argos has ripped this week from the wind ( possibly the dog also )

    old sv650s after my first spill.

    http://imgur.com/a/hGZgx

    rear subframe bent - fixed with a crowbar.

    front fairing replaced with silver nosecone from sv forums.

    after that, just a single bent stanchion.

    Not to bad after 70k impact.

    Note cast in second pic. The worst part of it.

    1999 Honda Hornet 600

    Hornet 600 was my first proper bike a few years back. Great machine. That's a fine example too. Same colour as the one I had. Blue ones are faster anyway! :cool:

    I've had it over 4 years now! its never steered me wrong and has always been upright! I love it, its kinda like a project bike but at the same time its my daily, in saying that I have a car too so...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Wonda-Boy


    I would take a Hornet over a bandit or similar anyday as a starter bike...I love them. Great looks and feel to them that is a cracker too!

    That's a very clean machine. Fair play, especially the weather we've been having.

    Thanks, tbh its all down to the previous owner.. He kept her garaged, immaculate & she came with a full service history from Joe Duffy's BMW.

    Five minutes with a warm soapy sponge and a rinse and she's brand new again.
