Ha,bout time you woke up to yourself Benj.must av been the fear of having your arse reamed at Straightliners ay?

[EXBEN]

umm.........Yeh that's wot it was Davo........

[Razorback]

Well it looks suspiciuosly like a GSXR1000. I sure hope so because Id love to see what you could do with one when your not constrained by customer expectations. Long as its not something woosy like a Busa :D

[EXBEN]

Sorry no Razor.
Heres a hint.
'500 per something you smoke'
OOOOhhhh.........cryptic....:D

[Large]

tl 1000

;):D

[TurboKat]

500 per POT = TLR.
I can't bag you too much for it not being a KAWASAKI Benny, I had a TL myself once & they're big fun. :D
At least it's not another bloody Gixer. :(

Well it used to be, I gotta bitta work to do. Or I could just go for the matt black EVERYTHING look.:D

[Razorback]

Far out Im glad someone worked it out.... Im way too stoned for riddles :D

Nice BTW ive developed a soft spot for TL's after riding one.

[EXBEN]

The way I fugure it, being a twin I'm only being half a traitor.

[Gix11]

So insurance paid up then and now you've inherited his bike. Nice work Ben, this should be interesting.

another product from Smouldering Creations? i warned you about smoking pot at work Ben.Lucky the insurance company believed that it was an electrical fault.

[Razorback]

"Smouldering Creations" LMFAO!

Your improving Davo..... if thats possible ;)

[fimpBIKES]

arse

[EXBEN]

Unfortunately no, the insurance didn't cover the bike. But Im just such a nice guy that I bought it off him anyway.

[EXBEN]

Actually FIY, did you know that if you take your bike to a bike shop & it gets stolen, burnt or otherwise damaged & it's not through neglegence of the bike shop, & if you don't have your own insurance on the bike ( even if it's not finnished yet ) then your SHIT OUTTA LUCK !:(
That is unless the bike shop has taken out some sorta special insurance, which no one does cause it would be too expensive.
Oh, the things the insurance companys don't tell you till you try to make a claim.[V][V]

[fimpBIKES]

looks like it already has some pretty trick stuff on it ben
rearsets for starters

whats with the metal radiator hose, your handywork?

so just how messed up is it?
wiring seems to still be there so im guessing it didnt get too hot?

mmm, looks like some non-standard business going on in that subframe too...

[EXBEN]

Fimp, it probably isn't as bad as it looks. It's all smoke/heat damage. Basicly it's gotta be fully stripped down re powdercoated, re anodized & re painted. Which is a real pain as it was nearly finished. At least this time it'll be a proper bike cause all the plastic got burnt in the fire.
Yeah there's some trick stuff on it, fully adjustable billet triples,arrow steering damper,full Ti Akro exhaust,Power commander, rearsets,brembo Master cyl,light weight this machined that etc.....

[dane_ra]

Can't wait to see this one re born mate! Get into it

[niceguyeddie]

good to see you doing a twin ben. my vtr is off to see zorstec for an idea i had brewing. will keep watching to see whats up

[EXBEN]

Gday Ed bout time you showed you face round these parts. Zorstec hey, I'll be keen to see what they come up with.

[WATEVR]

i wouldn't mind going a tl myself one day so i cant wait to see what you can turn this into, good luck champ.

[Slingblade]

Any updates on this badboy Ben??. I remember some parts sitting on the floor when i was down there, just waiting for some trickery.

see you on tlzone soon i guess :)

oh yeh the grand vitara is a great bike hauler/surf fishing bus ;)

[BOHEMION]

I GUESS A SUPERCHARGED TILLER !!!???

[veetwo tls]

its going to be interesting. i'll be watching the R&D on this.

keep fiche-man in mind for a few pointers & chat on www.tlzone.net
he also has a collection of some hens teeth (tasty yosh parts) [8D]
he's right into the tl engine tech side of things worth a chat & idea exchange with ;)

[Kamakazebusa]

Hey Ben, good to see ur converting.....hahahaha. Yeh i know this bike, Sean or someone bought it off my mate Dave, he built the subframe and had a mate machine all the other bits for it, he was biulding a Yoshi spec factory superbike. Had a Yoshi spec TLR manual from Japan. I beleive all the billet stuff is made by 'Ricci'. Could be wrong on this one....but looks like my mates handy work. This thing should turn out nice...:D i can't wait.

So ben , u gonna give us any ideas.......[:p][:p][:p]
