Exup 1000

Not too worry...it will be again soon.. I now have all the panels - most new - to rebuild it. The rest of it is covered in chain lube and cleans up a treat - I used to use it all year round you see (no car). So just a repaint necessary now...and its a surprisingly easy paint scheme to do. If I can f...

I've got one of those....well sort of...had it 3 years now. For the last 6 months though its been looking a bit erm sh*gged.

I like that.....it definately seems Yamaha screwed up with the std paint schemes on Aces..this is another one that totally changes the 'look' of the bike....and it looks superb. When I got mine it had 'big air' in the tyres aswell (60 rear 40 front)...I think the guys wife must have been a monster, ...

arrrh sh*t...horible.....Hope she's alright Nismo and its nothing too serious.

Back from South Downs absolutely knackered...100 miles off road on a push bike is no fun....dont know why I did it really. :eek: ...anyway 44 was a good guess....but I'm actually 45.. :crybaby: Nismo...ta very much for the indicators.....now send me a bill and I'll get the cash off to you...excellen...

Am I right in deducing then that the seat cowls aren't made by Yamaha ... they are an aftermarket GRP part only...

The no1. rule when it comes to Women by the way....is keep stum...say nowt..its imposible to f**k up then..

Hmmm, must have a spare engine or two lying around somewhere! :unibrow: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Yeah I do :nod: .....2 complete and a couple in bits that would easy make another (maybe 2)....but I need them of course. Its imposible or expensive to get them now so letting them go when you have 7 bik...

Hiya,

I've only had the bike 5 mins but I NEED a seat hump...Seen a few on some of the bikes in the Gallery....where do you get them from..? are they a Yamaha thing or aftermarket..?

Cheers

Cant find the age thread (and I looked all night :nod: ) You will have to guess my age...I got my AP50 in 1977. :D NO, I'M NOT GOING THROUGH A MID_LIFE CRISIS... :retard: I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS. My missus seems to be the only person that accepts this, I have always bought toys, gone racing/fis...

I've got a few.... Fifteen at the moment, 7 of them are RD500's though.
My all time favouite fun bike is my 1987 Yamaha RD350 YPVS F2..awesome little bike - with bit of fettling, its taking a bit of a back seat at the moment though.

Oh yeah sorry...no it is an original z1100r Lawson rep. Still running after 60,000 miles but I've took it off my insurance at the moment to put the Thunderace on. Erm have been advised to remove the sig but its on my web pages along with the 2-strokes if your interested.

Would love to but I cant make it this time because I'm away doing South Downs 100 mile mountain bike thing this weekend and then next weekend I've got to get my RD500 ready for Classic Bike track day on the 12th. I'll be watching out for the next meet though no worries.

I have to admit...it was the paint that sold it to me....it actually looks better in real life than the pic....the yellow is slightly brighter. I'm an RD freak so thats why the paint impressed. Thanks for the comments guys. Having now ridden it everyday since I bought it :D :D there are a couple of ...
