I realised yesterday that I'd not taken a photo of my Supersport where it "originally started" - when I got my original supersport I spent days cleaning it on the drive at my folks.. So, 33 years after my original supersport...
So, back in 1992 I bought a white frame / white wheel 900ss with 600 miles on it, rode it less and less for a few years before selling it in 96 or 97 (I can't remember which) Had other bikes ending up with a honda black bird in 2007 - lovely bike, used it for touring, going to the UK on regularly etc etc. In 2021 I was exiting a very fast right hander (about 130mph) and realised that I couldn't really make out what was in a dark patch of road under some trees about 1/2 a mile ahead - and given that I'd be there in less than 15 seconds.... so my eye sight was no longer up to how fast I was riding the blackbird... I decided to go back in time and started to look for a mid 90's 900ss. I bought this one from Dartanion on here in September 21. it needed work but that was fine with me. Carbs cleaned, shock rebuilt, single seat found, fairing repaired / sprayed, high level cans found / fitted, termis found / fitted / carbon fibre seat unit found / sprayed / fitted. It still needs work - I want a full rebuild on the engine and the frame powder coating - maybe I can find the cash for that as a winter job
