    well after 18months of sitting in the garage at work i decided it was time to ressurect the old boy.i do love these bikes it's just my road riding took a back seat for while,but the g/f keeps pestering me to go out on it (aren't i lucky :) ).So,next week after oulton it will recieve my full attention,namely give it a wash.

    She is looking a bit sorry for herself :(
    Good bath and polish then a good thrashing should bring her back to life

    Yep, that's Mr N sporting a semi all day thanks to his own skewed take on bike porn. I hope all that is crud and not fur growing on it scooby.

    it's been fortunate as it's lived in a heated garage so no moisture,just dust,quick blow off with the compressor,splash of water and it'll be good as new.i do love these bikes though,had a track prepped one aswell for a few yrs,seem to give a bit more feedback than the blade as they can be a bit neutral and lacklustre,although i am much faster on the blade,it's just the zx10r's feel like they are going 10x faster than what you are,doesn't win you races buts puts a huge grin on your face.
