Off to buy a j2 zx6r tommoro
Hopefully by tommorow will be the owner of a yellow j2 model. Now there is a back story of this bike. The bike used to belong to my friend / housemate that died in a crash 6 years ago. This was a bike he had owned from new and had dropped it at Caldwell and in the way only he could took it apart without having a clue how to repair it and took wheels off leaving it on paddock stands. Just prior to his accident he bought a 10r and sold the 6 to me as he needed the cash.
after a year or so of it sitting there in the middle of my garage causing issues trying to get my other bikes out and looking To move the decision was made to sell it and a chap bought it and collected with his neighbour with the promise they would get it back on the road again and send me pictures of the bike when back on the road.
About 8 months ago they sent me pics of bike back together and on the road. Still looks a little tatty fairing whise but mechanically have done quite as bit to it and is spot on. So spent the last 5 months persuading them to sell it back as I always regretted selling it due to the sentimental aspect to it.the bike is the bike that me and all that new him associated him with. Anyway getting to the point I've mithered the chap to death and he's willing to sell it back so off to collect it tommorow.
once I've got it back ill be looking to finish it off providing it is as mechanically sound as the seller says it is by getting fairing re sprayed with his nickname on it.
