Practical Sportsbike Magazine

Post by Gix » Mon Jun 03, 2013 8:17 am

Just a heads up..
This mag will be doing a feature on the TRX out around the end of the month
I believe it features five of the UK's best TRX's. all from on here.
I know three of them but don't know the other two

stand up and be counted whoever you are :D

Oh no, more coverage means less cheap TRX`s being around in the future! I wish these mags would stick to covering soul-less plastic rockets! :(
Ok, you guys who have minters and keep them that way and stock might have fast appreciating classics, but fighters need spares and spare parts prices will go through the roof when the TRX gains `silly price` status! :roll:

Ooops, that'd be me then, used the TRX to come to work on & the mileometer went over to 5200.....
regarding value, for me it won't matter as I don't intend to get shut, (unless a silly offer comes in that is) #-o
I could be the laziest man on earth, I just can't be arsed to find out.

The bloke that was gonna buy it pulled out.....just reinsured it today for another year so i probably will keep it unless i get another offer... there is one on the cards, but just have to see how serious he is too...!!!

got some money here to buy another bike but as the deal fell through looks like i be getting a cheap classic, or another scooter..

looking forward to seeing the practical sportsbike magazine review and seeing how nice the TRX's on there are...

I may even get rid of the supermoto... she's slowly being put back to original too...

Found my original TRX front calipers yesterday, while sorting out my shed, and have started cleaning them up ready to install..

Sorry guys, I have a confession to make.....

Last month I fitted a new gear lever rubber :roll: it was a genuine Yam part though, so please forgive me.

I did the same last week. There is no shame in it. I had previously used some heat shrink but this time opted to spend up on a genuine part. $6 or thereabouts.
