Folks
am I one of the few ss guys (and gals) {KB where are u??} still posting and more importantly riding at the mo.
Posts to the SS threads dried up recently, or you all transported to 748s, 999s etc
Went out last weekend, so OK, bit drizzly Sat Morn but still great to be on two wheels, as opposed to a lot of them 4 wheel muppets

ps, gotta know how to get a repeatable signature at end of posts and also gotta get a piccie in the "from" box
help all u PC tekky folks and why is it U2U doesnt get me instant replies, or am I just plain PC thick, (and that was a rhetorical question)
:roll::roll:
Dunno where you are located mate but Marco 900 came out with us Beds/Herts/Cambs boys at the weekend.We had a good rideout after a gutbuster Grafham Water cafe breakfast.
Oh,and another SS man,Fordie,has jumped ship to the 4 valvers.
Still a few SS boys and gals around,just not many posting on the board.

I'm still here!!
Been making a few posts on other threads, but yes quiet on the SS board.
Just fitted a double bubble screen to keep that awful, cold winter air off me a little more.
Not been on a rideout for a while, but still riding to and from work everyday.
Just about to have the bike serviced at 12k, so I may be off the road for a few days at least! :-)
Cheers

Phil, I got my Dubble Bubble from...oh hell, old age strikes again... but its saved me from a blasting all summer and winter long, good to keep up the threads

Gonna be early next year before i post piccies of mine, but no fila now.

Fellow SS riders I may be gone but not forgotten.Still love the 900SS, took mine out a few days ago to give it a clear out on the local byways and was still inspired by its very individual characteristics,I was on a IL4 a few days ago and that just does not compare to the shear grunt of the two valver, although iv'e gone to the 4 valver, i shall all ways have a soft spot for the SS as im sure most of the lads and lasses that have had the pleasure of riding one, have also. I covered 20,000 miles in the few years that I owned the 900 ,the bike did me proud and still does.Viva la SS. Regards Fordie

Paul,
I picked up my screen from Busters for £40 delivered.

Fordie,
If you end up selling the 900ss and put it back to original spec, please drop me a line regarding any accessories you might have! I'm always looking for bits and bobs.
Bl@@dy wet on the way to work this morning!
Cheers

Rightly so Colin rightly so.If the're happy so are we;) Fordie the turncoat:lol:

Has anyone owned up to buying my yellow '02 750SSie (complete with DSC website stickers by the saddle) from CMW yet? I've still got a DP hi-flo airfilter and racing bubble screen if you're interested?

What year is your beastie.
Im desperate for a single seat unit.
Green folding stuff, beer vouchers, blah blah available cos wiff hi level pipes and cans, no rear footpegs.
Finally if anyone needs MOT cans, mine (road legal) can be had for 25 pints aka 50 notes....I'll worry about next years MOT when the time comes
I'm still here, and mines not even a year old so i'm stickin with it for the forseeable future, may buy 998 for a winter hack tho :roll: lol

'Fraid I am keeping all the kit. Purely for reselling sake, due to the fact it is a limited edition. Sorry.

Still out there.......
Just got in from daily 60 mile commute to Manchester on my '97 900SS. She gets grumpy if I leave her in the garage for too long!
Anyway it was 15 degrees and not even raining!!!!!
Im still here but i'v done the winter riding thing to deth and my 96ss dos'nt like the wet weather. Not had much chance to get on the board eather.
The bike has no MOT no TAX and no 010 (back tyre) so she's wraped up nice and snug in the garage waiting for the first rays of spring SUNSHINE.;);)
