Hello from Evil Knievel 😂

Hi all

Registered recently after a long time absence. No idea what my previous user name or email address would have been as more than 10 years ago.

After having a couple of 748SPs, I bought a Monster S4 when they first came out and things didn't end well 🙈

For your amusement see here https://m.theregister.co.uk/2001/08/..._cheats_death/

The bike was rebuilt, painted Porsche basalt black and been in storage pretty much ever since.

Had it serviced etc and made roadworthy 2 years ago. Just over 1,000 miles on now. Bought a tail tidy (yet to do) and looking to change standard pipes. Also the horrid twin headlamp I put on when rebuilt.

Suggestions / ideas of good value pipes other mods appreciated. Will post some pictures when get out of storage next.

Nick

I suppose you found yourself literally between a Rock & a hard place eh?

I'm sure lots of people on here have done something inadvisable bike-related at some time.

Welcome back btw.

Thanks guys


Picture of my 748's that I sold prior to getting the Monster, as I was concerned I was ridding at speeds above my ability, and would end up hurting myself! lol

Instagram images not work on the forum? Do you need to host elsewhere?

You do. I still use Photobucket, but it's getting to be a pain. Other sites are available.

Are you really Evil Knievel ?
Sounds more like Kevin Knilworth.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.
But you sound like you have a sense of humour.
Welcome back, from just up the road in Leicester.
Better luck this time.

No longer around unfortunately.

I sold to Stone computers, no joke, and they eventually phased out the brand..

Can't understand why they did that, they were the no. 1 seller in Bedrock for decades.
