ME AND MY BIKES

not been on here much so thought it was time to show you my steeds.

my name is dave from lancaster uk and here is my 95 divy 900 (33000 miles)and my custom heavy modded aprilia rsv1000r martini sunny toy

 

Finally someone from my town! Great to have you, and nice wheels.

where you from al?

 

that rocket looks fuggin fasssst

 

Yeah she is a bit of an animal mate after getting off the yammy . i love the v twin power but i also love my trusty 17 year old divvy 900 ,me and my missus have been all over europe on her and we did scotland a couple of time .. i know this forum is for the original xj's but the diversion is/was a good compliment to the brilliant gen 1's ..

 

Morecambe, but down on Middleton sands if you know where that is?
Al

 

yeah i know where you are mate ,i am actually in bare . i used to drive/mess about in my car on the sands when you could just drive straight down off the road ..

prob seen ya at bull beck or the bridge maybe ?

lets see your bike then mate ..

more shameless pics of my toys ;-)

me at barbon hill climb 2011







before and after
















divvy on the dyno bless it lol

 

How do you like those maxxis's? I was thinking of getting some promaxx's

 

i love em mate . the front last forever but is good on the road grip wise the back is still hanging on my garage wall as my 020 isnt finished yet. i know people who have the sports versions fitted to their aprilias that do track days on em without problems ..

on that pic at dover the tyre had been fitted a week prior and i rode down from lancaster into france and belgium then back again and the front still had the faint yellow line on the tread (the bit that contacts the road not inside the tread ) 8O .. so tyre life isnt an issue ,i dont go mad in the wet and in the dry i lean enough to use all the rear to the edge so grip is good also..

good money to http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-XJ900- ... 925wt_1185

 

You got a licience for that boy ?

 

Very nice looking bikes Dave!

 

yeah but dont know for how long lol

 

cheers for that buddy ..i am a cleanaholic 8O been looking at your pics and it seems you like to clean also ;-) very nice bud ..

dont you guys need a reg plate over there ?? i think you might call it a licence plate ??

we are hounded to death by the police in the uk if our plates are slightly too small or have incorrect spacing between the character etc ..

 

Sent you a PM dave.
