How Fcuking lame is that for a friday afternoon 
Had a filling coming out recently. I've got a history with dentists, and its all bad. I have weak lined teeth.. Sucks.
Sitting her, muching a ham n cheese toastie, and my tooth feels weird. Finish sandwhich, lick teeth clean, and out pops one whole section of my tooth. I go into panic mode. Im just awaiting an absess now Mouth wash it is all next week until my appointment then. Bummer.
I've perked myself up by arranging to go see this tomorrow though  2.5 hours away though.

35mpg ftl on these.... Ahh well.
Those cans are coming off, its got a set of titanium silencers coming for it.
Done 35k, but its £1500, which is just in my budget for a track slag.
Carbon belly pan was bought brand new by the guy only a few weeks back. Cosmetically its not the best, but as long as the motors sound, and it rides well.
Got aftermarket suspension on it too!!!
Tooths achey, but I think its mroe mental pain, and the fact I keep rubbing my tounge on soft tender gum

It seems that way now  But im in split minds. My tooths driving me mad. I've got soft insides to my teeth, but a normal strong outter layer.
Problem is, as a child, i had most of my molars filled in, but the filling has started to fail, this resulting in my tooth corroding itself from the inside out. I've got to get used to this for a week, and i've had roots removed, teeth removed, absesses, bolted in head-gear, braces, all of it. Not good times
VTR is a cheerup. Not attention whoaring.
That'll come later when/If i buy it
Yeah braided lines up front too. Carbon rear hugger, carbon belly pan,
"4 months MOT 5 months tax
excellent condition for age (1 small mark on rear covered by sticker and arm of mirror repainted as it was chipped)
Dyno jetted
carbon fibre hugger, belly pan (does have hole where exhaust touched it) and fender extender
single seat cover
black screen
LED rear light
Pyramid undertray
It will also have titanium cans - arriving this week - the temp ones on it at the moment won't come with it as they are too loud and shoddy build as only temp
1/4 throttle
braided hoses
Harris rear sets "
Rear sets are a good few hundred quid alone!!!!

Wasn't suggesting you were attention whoring at all just to clear up any confusion 
Bike looks nice, what's the egine size and power? And what are rear sets? Just for any bike n00bs like myself

Bike is a 996cc V-Twin (so similar to a Ducati 996 engine). Engine also came in this....... (just this had better suspension, but the one im looking at has been upgraded).
Colin Edwards Castrol Honda VTR days form World Superbike.
Power, about 110-120bhp I think. But its a twin, and a 1000cc, so LOADS of low down torque. Like driving a TDi compared to a hig revving petrol engine. One has instant power, the other needs winding up the rev range. Makes less peak power than an IL4 1000cc bike, but more torque at a lower rpm, and doesn't rev as high.
Rear sets, they are the footpegs. Standard bikes mean one size fits all. Aftermarket can be adjusted and fine tuned for your feet. Briongs the pegs higher and tighter to the bike so they dont ground out on race tracks.
