Very tidy mate, i clocked that for sale the other day and I'm sure I saw a small feature on it in Performance Bikes a while back. Cracking bit of kit with a lovely history and not much moola really, considering that selection of parts fitted to it  ------------- Better to have something you don't need than need something you don't have.... |

| Yeah, it's the banks fault, if they paid more interest I might leave my money in but they don't so f**k em ,I'll put it into something I enjoy instead😃.The bike will pretty much stay as it is but I am fussy so a certain few things are going to get tidied up. Already spotted a reg plate for it GS03GUS as its a k3 gsxr. |

| The gus and Ronnie articles were great especially the race ones where they took the piss out of each other and I still have the road trip vids, was the best bike double act ever for me and a golden age of the mag. Pb is the only mag I buy now. |

PB is still the best mag,i get Fast Bikes as well but its not a patch on what it was in the old days with Schiller running it , their videos were so good,the scooter race through London was legendary  ------------- Better to have something you don't need than need something you don't have.... |

| Was funny talking to Jon urry when he did the feature on my bike and we were talking about the old mags and features, he's worked for most of them and was saying how much money was blown during the fb days with Schiller and how he misses those days, pretty much anything was signed off😃 |

It was a great mag wasn't it, you could actually trust completely what they were saying, plus they had far and away the fastest testers(abusers ) and even though the actual print copy was a bit lacking at times,with missing pages, sections of print you couldn't read, etc, the content was just the nuts. Was gutted when Schiller sold it but you couldn't expect him to keep losing money, sad day though. ------------- Better to have something you don't need than need something you don't have.... |

Favorite Fastbikes was when DuHammer was saying to the Spanish cops "just ago and fackyamatha", and Jimerillo was trying to keep a straight face, Pulp Friction 1 That bikes something else hemi.

 Had the tank off today to have a look at the speedo connections and this is the kit airbox that uses the tank as on the rsv😍. I keep finding nice bits. |

That's interesting, I'd love to hear it on chat!  I like PB as well. Funny that when I was in hospital, Mz.D bought me in a copy and lo and behold, Hemi's big bore was in there! Full feature. Cheered me right up, I can tell you! ------------- Question everything. |

| The tank pins were on it already with the r clips on lock wire, nice little touches. I bought a lock wire set a few months ago so it will give me something to practice on. |

| The seat pad is race foam and was a bit tatty so I thought I would take it off and put some new on as I already had some,you know when you start something and wish you didn't , must of been about four layers of previous glue on it, took me about two hours to get the bastard stuff off, my fingers haven't recovered yet. |
