evening gents and gentettes ( i think thats the PC term these days)

first of all, i keep blowing the intercooler pipes off on my car, does anyone know anyone that does pipe beading? or has a pipe beading tool that i could borrow/rent for some aluminininiuininum pipes?

secondly

i am still in the market for a new 2 wheeled motor vehicle, after the 2 accidents i have had (grabbing the front brake too hard and sliding out in the dry at about 40, and the same again at about 15mph when i didnt notice it was frosty ) im thinking about getting a zach proof bike (abs model)

im not a big bloke, and a 600 really would suit me well, i dont like tourers, im not really sure what to get, i like sleak and modern. at the moment im REALLY liking the CB1000r, my problem is that its a 1000, and maybe a little fast for my needs.... i would want to snatch at the throttle and have the front wheel keep popping up, i'd probably die..

and help and suggestions on either matter would me muchly appreciated
