My new Bandit

**Mr_Hoarder** · 22-04-2002, 13:11

I picked this up on friday , to replace the NTV for commuting duties :

It goes a little better than a 650 twin

How did that pic get here????
I didn't take the photo? have you splurged on a digicam??
Am I now released from my duties as your official photographer??

**Mr_Hoarder** · 23-04-2002, 09:02

I knew you would wonder how it happened.

Paul, of the Bandit owners club (who lives down the road) came and took a piccy, and posted it on his website, from where I nicked it.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

In answer to your second question, no you are not released from your photographers duties ( I know how much you enjoy pretending to be David Bailey )

For a minute there I thought that you had invested in some new technology

How did the BOC meeting go last night?

BTW
You up for this Thursday bash with the MK1's?

**Mr_Hoarder** · 23-04-2002, 11:24

The BOC meeting was OK, about 20 Bandits in all , some have had loads spent on them and some have been subject to some modifications that I am not a big fan of, but then I am a pervert when it comes to the details and some people just want to ride them - it's horses (or Bandits) for courses I guess.

They are having a ride out to Clacton on sunday, leaving the Dog and Partridge at 9am - fancy it ?

I am up for the AVO thing on Thursday - does this mean the RS2 is going to get some rent on it, or is the tax disc from the 3 door going to be pressed into service ?

**2quick4u** · 23-04-2002, 14:20

need to get the RS out of the garage first and charge the battery (it maybe knackered) will decide on the road rent after that

Sunday is a maybe tell me more about times etc

Yum, now go and get a nice race can on it! IF you are gonna jet it, don`t just buy the K&N and dynojet kit, it will run like a bag of shit. Take the bike to X Bikes in Park Royal Chris will do the Air box mod as well and get the thing running as it should.

Take a peek on visordown.com or ridersite.net loads of bandit bits appearing all the time. GSX 1400 six pots just bolt on as well i belive.

But please no silly purple bolts and crap alloy bar ends that don`t do anything!

Oh and if you really wanna go mad buy a gsxr1100m/n inlet cam and slotted sprockets (mate has got a brand new cam if you wanna go this route).

Carl,

Rob has joined the Bandit Owners Club, I believe silly bolts and bar ends are compulsory

**Mr_Hoarder** · 02-05-2002, 10:07

Fcuk you Max, I am not going to put any silly bits on it, it's standard and staying that way ( apart from the Barnett clutch )

**2quick4u** · 02-05-2002, 10:22

tch tch! mind your language Garfield

**carl_harker** · 02-05-2002, 12:13

hmm keeping a Bandit standard Rob, yeah right! There is so much (good stuff not cheap crap)that you can do to them you won`t be able to resist! Are the Barnett clutch springs andoised gold by any chance (only joking mate! ouch ow geroff).

**Mr_Hoarder** · 02-05-2002, 13:57

No Carl, the clutch springs are Purple anodised

, I was thinking of having the wheels and fork legs polished, then I woke up out my silly daydream, slapped myself round the face and said to myself "Fuggin' idiot, it's a commuter not a show bike"
( The slap dislodged a filling I think - bugger

)
