Thanks, I've noticed, keep checking in but not seeing any new posts. Shame as it was a great place to stop by for some banter and bike chat. Also met a good few people through this forum.

Where does every one go now, is it Facebook groups or has everyone sold up 😂

Bike Talk / Back on a ninja 🥷
February 16, 2025, 09:10:53 PM
Well, couldn't stay away, found my way back into a zx10r, 2018 se, well sorted too.

Having been away from the old ninja for around 2 years, I found I missed the old girl, so started looking for a gen 4 with euros in mind, then noticed the gen 5 was the all singing all dancing version with all the electronics and wizardry, so opted for the gen 5. The plan is to tick off a fewew more boxes with some more euro trips if all the stars align. Does anyone still do them.... 🫣

Well, didn't need the GPS dash after all, the kwaka wasn't right for me, it didn't feel right. So now I'm finally  picking up a KTM 350 exc-f 4 stroke next Saturday.

So both me and steve (who doesn't do forums) who's gone  and bought a GPX 300 2t are now starting our green lane and off road journey 😂

Bike Talk / The enduro hunt begins…

Ok, so track bike gone, and the enduro bike hunt begins... 

Shortlisted a few KTM's as was setting me sights on one as a first choice but just found a decent looking KX 450 that has been made road legal and ticks all the boxes except one thing missing is a Speedo.

While it's not needed I'd rather have one, I've tried looking for ideas how to do this as I'm gonna use it for green laning and a bit of road riding.

Any one have any experience of or suggestions on how to do this, as not much coming up in the web so far.

Any advice appreciated.

Well that didn't take long, and no haggles, time to move onto the next chapter  :moto:

Thank Dan, it should make some one a good track bike, it has served me well, one careful owner before and after the crash  :rofl: 

That said, it has been well looked after throughout my ownership, could also go back on the road with some work on a daytime MOT.

Not in any rush to sell, so if any one knows any one looking, feel free to send them my way

Kawasaki ZX10R Gen3 for sale - £ 3,500.

Selling up and calling it a day with trackdays, however will be looking to get into a bit of enduro riding instead.

Bike was a preregistered purchase so I'm really just the one owner since June 2009. The V5 is in my name.

I initially used the bike on the road for a few years and then ventured into trackday riding before becoming solely used as a track bike (after I crashed it at Almeria in 2017, damaging all the road fairings and suffering a bit of gravel rash) It has around 18,000 miles (maybe a bit more) on the clock, oil has been changed religiously, it has track fairings, akrapovic race end can and link pipe,  I have fitted custom made braided hoses, aftermarket rear sets etc. the front forks were serviced in October 2022, and the bike was last used in Almeria soon after in November 2022. Currently fitted with slicks. Tyres are Dunlops and while the front will see you right for a few sessions or a day, the back is practically finished and will need changing. It will come with tyre warmers, front and rear paddock stands and anything else I may have lying around such as a new set of front brake pads I have stored somewhere, il throw in. 

Main reason is all my biker mates have given up so rather than be Billy no mates it's time to let it go. It's been a blast but all good things must come to an end, I will try and work out how to add current pictures of the bike, but if anyone is interested just drop me a message and il send answer your questions and send you any pictures you require.

It's been in Spain for the last 4 years and just come back to the uk so il be tinkering with it giving it a clean etc. (at some point) it's also been used as a track bike and is in track trim (no road fairings, lights etc. so expect a few battle scars, if your looking for something to polish look elsewhere 😛

Do get in touch if genuinely interested.

Located in Alton, Hampshire.

Have never thought of doing Cartagena although it seems popular.

Lots of activities this year by everyone which is good to see 👍

Just booked onto Jerez for September, been itching to go back and taste the same tarmac, loved my first experience of this circuit, just hope it's as good as I remember 🐼
