Hello from devon

[Robin]

Hi all.
I'm robin from torbay (brixham)
I've had 126s in the past and have had a bis sitting in the wings for about 4 years ... Now the time has come to make a cbr1000rr 126
As a result of my project I have lots of unneeded parts , such as engine ,gearbox , seats , rads , clocks , full running gear and so on . If anyone is interested let me know .
I also have a complete bis up for sale ,needs some work as it's been sat for about 9 months since it ran out of mot Cheers

Hi
Welcome

But I will get some up .

Are there many people from Devon on the site ?

Hi Robin

  to the owners club its good to see someone else in the bay, i live in paignton so only a stones throw away.

To my knolege there is a yamaha r1 126 in totnes but im still not sure where.

Is it only bis bits that you have or do you have some aircooled bits too.

Mike.

Hi mate .
Nice to know there are some locals on here .
Unfortunately it's just bis parts I have , sorry.
what bits are you after ?

I work over in totnes And so far I have seen a lime green 126 and an orange one. But think I would of noteced if one was bike powered 
Would be grate to find it so I could pick there brains about it tho.

The bike powered 126 is white, I only know about it from one the internet(youtube) and two one of our costomers(i work at a garage) friends ownes the car.

I have only ever seen 1 red bis(to my knowlege it has been broken for parts, and a red/orange aircooled 126 in/around newton abbot.

I was thinking of getting a spare engine.

good luck with the proect anyway and maybe I will see you around when you get it done, it will be good to see.

All of mine have been red haha
I first got in to fiats because I rolled my mates one and had to buy it off him haha hamered the roof back out  and put it back on the road as it had 12 months mot , broke that one for parts after the 12 months ,
 then another mate Had a little bump in his one and I had that off him .
That's the one I am working on now .
And I seem to have acquired another one now but I'm selling it on .

I think there's a couple more down your way too...an orange one and a green one with a M reg...be sure to take some pics if you spot them! 

[Mics126]

If i can i will try to take some pics but every time i see another 126 i'm always driving.

Did you ever live in Paignton Robin in preston, because thats where I saw the red bis being broke for parts.

Mike

[Robin]

Nope , wasn't me .
I know there used to be guy in totnes who had two 500s and a couple 126s as well but I think he moved away or something .
A guy at my work used to have a cream 126 and a totaly nakered 500 .
There was also a white one in Newton that an old couple used as a tow car for there campervan .
Quite a few about really as it's such a small area .

[Mics126]

one of our costomers has a fiat 500, lives in torqay, i have driven it a few times its great fun. its amazing how much smaller the 500 is to the 126 let alone the new 500.

I'm suprised how many there are and i don't see any ,where are they all hiding.

mike

[Robin]

Yeah i know what you meen , i couldnt stop driving mine when i had it haha
 Have you seen the ones in that garage at the top of the hill just befor you head down to totnes . He has a 500 van .... It's very nice .

[Mics126]

sounds good but i can't hink of the gararge. which way to totnes do you mean. I normally go from tweenaway lights past the ocean garage and carry on that way to go to totnes.

I have seen a 500 van on a bisness card that ricambio sent me and i have also seen a 500 gardiner at the steam fair last year and a few times after that.
