    My Old Man bought our 96 Bandit 1200 back in 1999 as a repairable write off and the fighter bug began, back then i was still at school putting around on my Bandit 400 attempting to be a young reckless hooligan..
    HERES MY BABY 400

    AND THE OLD MANS B12 AFTER SOME TIDYING UP..

    Thats pretty much the way it stayed for a few years until i bought it off the Old Man in 2004ish and gave it a going over.. the usual paint job, polish, bolts, bars, etc etc then the gear box gave up at 30000kms and she sat in the shed till mid 06, i finally got her fixed and got about to riding her.. UNTIL..

    Meanwhile during the time she sat in the shed for 18 months i decided to buy myself a 05 XR250R Brand spankers, just to get to and from work and then the Motard Bug came and bit me on the ass... she only has a small capacity but she thinks her heart is whole lot bigger..

    Also whilst the bandit was off the road in pieces i invested in one of my favourite bikes an 00 GSXR750 stock as a rock and added a little bling here and there, After 12 months and 15000 back aching kms i decided it was better off in the hands of one of my mates.. people over 6"4 shouldnt ride sports bikes.. thats a fact..





    put Yoshi on bandit and scored a Scorpion..

    and some photoshopping..

    ANYWAYS.. After the motard and the Gixer i decided to get stuck back into the Bandito..
    And so.... it was new paint job with chrome bandit logo, new seat unit plastics.. removed grab rails, fitted yoshi off Gixer.. and a few little other tacky bits..

    Woo Hoo wiring time.. good thing i love this stuff..




    Apparently this wasn't really needed, i hope.. im thinking maybe because at one stage of its life my B12 was an S model so im thinking excess wiring.. maybe...



    Got the Acewell kicking too.. excuse the temp bracket..

    relocated the ignition, i like it, its nice and neat and tucked away..



    And surprisingly this bike has had 3 spills, that i know of, and this is the only noticeable mark.. i aim to fix this sometime soon.. who said Bandits aren't crash friendly.. tell that too mine..

    And for the current hump in the road.. i decided to invest in a "Factory Fighter" if you will.. an 09 Triumph Street Triple R..
    i know i know i should have spent 15k on the bandit.. but the missus said.. "I want a house and a baby, if you want a new bike, buy one now or wait 20 years" so i said no wuckin furries sweetie... and ka ching.. enter the Triple...
