He called me yesterday as I'd offered help/support to say could I collect the track bikes stored at his Dad's plus his ZX6 road bike as they need to clear the rented house. So gotta clear my garage to try and get 4 bikes in!
He also said he's not interested in the track bikes and I can have them if I can get rid of them. So what to do?
The R6 I bought with my mate and my Dad from EssexBladeRider and Dicky Mint on TRC. It belonged to a good mate of theirs who sadly was killed. I spent 3 years having a cracking time on track with it until my mate met a new woman and dropped off the radar. His car had the tow bar so no more track days. I'd hoped to get back to it and we did do one about 12 months later but the R6 ran like shit I think due to being left with old fuel. After this mate said he take the R6 to his and sort the carbs (he's a bike mechanic). Since lots of time has passed and stuff happens and the R6 got left. He did clean out the carbs but didn't get the bike back together. Current thoughts are put back together, clean tank, new fuel, battery, service and hope it runs OK. I don't think I'll keep it as don't have a van or trailer so too much of a ballache to get back to track days on it. Pity as it was perfect with some nice extras and loads of spares. This was a pic from about 12 months ago. No idea on value but hoping reasonable amount with spare faring, subframe, wheels etc
The GSXR thou. Mate bought this as a damaged bike, stripped it completely and rebuilt as a track bike. Need to get more info. He bought it just before we stopped and only did 1 track day on it. I think he removed all the road leccys etc. He said when he went to start it the fuel pump had packed up. Not sure on this but running it'll be worth more than non running so got try and sort it...which will be interesting as I have the mechanical know how and skill of a one legged goat. Don't want to spend too much sorting it in case I can't manage it but at the same time I want to have it running. I'm also tempted to keep it if it was easy enough to get back on the road but doubt that'll happen. Early GSXR thous seem to be going up in value but this is a bit of an unknown bike to me at the min and not running so need to see what's what. Anyway heres the Gixxer...and its not pink
So step 1 is project clear shit from my garage. Then collect bikes on Sunday morning.
Step 2...God knows, watch this space while I ask lots of questions and make lots of fuck ups before listing the bikes as non running projects
My initial thoughts on seeing them was 
I've not had a proper look as had a lot to do with having to get my mate (a different one) to pick me up, then go get the trailer and then do 2 trips to get the bikes as the trailer whilst a 3 bike trailer is for off road bikes not road bikes so got the R6/Gixxer first and then back for the road ZX6. So for now my initial assessment is they are in poor condition but I'll pull the R6 out at some point and have a proper look. 
anything I can do to try and get rid of the smell? The ZX6 also stinks and the fuel pipe by the tap has leaked all over the frame which now looks a mess. I've got round this by putting the ZX6 in my garden. I can't do the same with the R6 as seems it's missing it's carbs and some other bits which are in one of the bags I picked up. But given the rain we had yesterday I didn't think it wise storing it outside. Although to be fair I probably couldn't do it anymore harm than it's seen to date! So it's in my garage stinking the place out.
