The stolen and recovered 888 is still trucking along.
...

My little bike, just notched up 8 years of ownership

Damn that 888 looks nice. I used to dislike the square headlight front end, but it's grown on me over the years.

Sounds like you've built a bit of a "Monster" with the 600!

Are both bikes dry clutch? That was my favourite part of my 2000 Monster 900ie.
Ended up selling it after fixing it up.


Sadly have not had my '05 R6 out at all this year, but hoping next year I'm in good enough shape to get back on the horse!

Both are dry clutch. The little bike I've done the quiet clutch mod, swap a friction plate in place of the steel one on the inside of the clutch stack so it doesn't rattle sitting in neutral. Makes a little noise if the clutch is in, but being able to sit in traffic commuting to university without it sounding like a skeleton jacking off in a tin can is nice.
The 888 is open cover and original setup so it's loud. It's only a weekend bike though so I don't mind too much.

Surgery, again!
Under the knife twice in 8 months. At least they were for different things.

Warming up the 900ie in the driveway one afternoon, and the neighbour comes over exclaiming "What Is That Noise?!". She was less then pleased haha

Not mine, thank goodness, just some pictures I took many years ago that I came across. This thing was the sketchiest bike I ever saw. Big, heavy, cobbled together thing with an undersized front brake and no muffling to speak of. The builder was quite a character, as you'd expect, and it was apparently pretty difficult to kick start.

That Beetle bike is jank AF. But so strange it's almost cool, almost.

Air cooled guys probably get bricked up when they see that

Probably slow as shit too lol
