sounds good..

was thinking about geting a mirrored visor maybe? im new to riding so not sure about a dark black one.. although i agree it would look the best i am not sure if it would be to dark for all round riding..?

wat u guys n gals think?

[lazcbr29]

a mirrored visor is just as dark as a black one,
and for all year round riding i never take my black visor out my arai, apart from cleaning.
i know they illegal at night but i still dont then either, gets rid of glare from dickheads leaving their highs on
or boyracer twats wiv their fucking fogs on.

ive ordered a black one.. so shoul dbe with me around tuesday..

im off to pick up my bike in about an hour!! will make sure pictures are up by this evening.. weather not looking to bad at the moment...hopefully ill get a short ride in!!

[w00dzy]

picked up the nc23 today! and could hardly sleep last nite! it was like being a kid at christmas all over... its the first big bike I have ridden apart from a suzuki gs500 I rode for my test and intensive course..

wat can I say, im very impressed... very smooth and more torquey than I had expected..

Had a front wheel fitted today by Rubber Branch Tyres mobile fitting (07970 52 10 52) so had to be carefull riding not only because its my first time riding a big bike but due to the new rubber...

I managed to get in about an hour and a halfs riding time before having to ride home while it was snowing!

We made it back safe and sound to the garage where I expect she will stay for another few days till it brightens up. Didnt get round to taking pictures today will get some either tomorrow or tuesday..

[w00dzy]

I drove down to my mates garage where the bike is being kept at the moment.. cant wait for the snow to clear up so I can go for a nice ride.. Perhaps down to brighton or something...

Sorry for the crap pictures but didnt want to wheel it out as the area outside the garages was very icey.. The pics do not do it justice.. Wat you think of the pipe? are they any good? it sounds very deep.. Havent opened her up yet so dont know what it sounds like in the top half of the revs..









so let me know wat u think peeps..

also heres some pics of my mates fzr he picked up for 400 nuggets.. shame it was left out in the snow though!

cheers mate, yeh will do.. I was so tempted to take it out today as the main roads have cleared up a bit but just dont want to risk it with all the ice about in random places...

I will ride down to brighton this weekend if the weather is any good..

so how do you reckon my nc23 would fair against my mates fzr? apparently the fzr's are better on the track? guess we will be able to find out soon..

I need to get a lot of practice in though so if I come down at the weekend dont expect a pro rider hah. Im still getting used to the controls being so close together.. and not to sure on the suspension.. when I sit on it the back just goes down without a spring back up at all... Once I have riden it a bit I'm sure it will be obvious what needs doing..

What do you think of renegade pipes? are they any good?

[lazcbr29]

im working saturday so if your free sunday afternoon anytime?
and ive not heard of renegade exhausts before, but it looks ok,
and probs sounds lovely too.
theres onli one real way to find out just have a ride with him,
it might come down to the rider rather than the bike too.
