rattler, ali:

the 'i cant be arsed' factor contributed alot as i could just walk in and get one. i know absolutely nothing about bike engines etc so just wanted something i could just jump on and go, pretty much. if i was going to buy second hand i would have got a 620 monster anyway at around 3k+. it has a slipper already (of sorts). i know 100% everything is ok if not it will be done under waranty. and hopefully it will still be worth that bit more at the end of racing.

i know i could bin it on the first bend but i really wont be pushing 100% for one place better anyway and if i get taken out by someone then so be it. i guess thats racing as they say!
theres a good chance i'll go and smash up their car if they do though

only kidding!

Very nice, I do like the red frame.

Time for some serious crash bungs/protection/insurance me thinks.

.....the stuffed toy looks worth more than my bike......

Probably will go better too!

Also, I think I would have bought one which didn't have the sidepanels falling off!
The build quality on my 11 year old one is far better - it has hung together for 11 years.............but then again I haven't ridden it yet........
