(my choice)... $14k in AMPS 2009... Gladius, nice price, nice fit... now I need to win more than $22 on lotto. :)

Come to Nelson....It's awesome...I'd take a picture but it would make you cry.:sunny::yes::scooter::love::soon::scooter:

[Maha]

I stood outside AMPS breifly yesterday, didn't go inside, that could have been a big mistake.
the Gladious would be a perfect fit for you Kim. The 675 (while a spunky as mofo bike) may be a bit tall in the seat department?

It was too tall Maha, but in saying that they said it could be lowered! :D AND you didn't go in... whyever not?

Yeah lowering is an option.
Why I didn't go in?....normally when I enter a bike shop I come out with a bike, on this occassion, that was not going to happen.
If a salesman approaches me (which is rare thing in bike shops) then it has the potential to be very good outcome for all concerned. I dont wonder around a bikeshop tyre-kicking. I never use the saying '' I will think about it' cos everyone knows thats the end of it. I either want it or I dont, and right about now, I dont.

:angry: I went into AMPS a while back, no one would help me, so I went elsewhere to buy a bike.......

bit up and down like your avatar...

Down here the sun is still shining. Took myself over the hill to Havelock...was amazing.....I think I found the zone, but only briefly and it was gone again. Really love my bike and love living in the sunshine capital of NZ.

(Maybe I should say it pissed down otherwise you'll all move here)

[porky]

its fine.............. its a Honda........... and id rather be out than in a closet.:buggerd:

[boman]

Got fine this Afternoon. Went for a hoon to Mercer for food. Roads dry, grip good. Roll on Summer.

Gladius is a nice bike......... I'm sure, but not anything on the Trumpy 675, I'm not biased, oh alright I am, but who cares, Triumph's Rule lol....

Some mean deals on Trademe, and you can get finance online from all the providers if you need it.:innocent:

Owh, by the way, Weather in Aucks is always CRAP!

Auckland is crap.

but, anyway, was thinking, a 'real' biker/bike person wouldn't really care about the weather would they?
Isn't it all about the ride?
The thrill?
Fulfilling ones passion?
Finding ones 'zone'?
My first two weeks of riding it rained so hard, my leathers didn't dry out for about a month, did I care, not much, it was just about the ride.
Then there are those sane ones that travel hundreds of miles in freezing temperature for the Brass Monkey...they certianly do not care what the weather is doing, they off for the thrill.....explorers facing a challenge.....hmmmm. I love my bike!

[Old Steve]

Rode with 7 other bikes (2 with pillions) from Tauranga, across the Kaimais, down passed the Okoroire turnoff and on to Putaruru, then across through Arapuni and over the dam and on to Bryces Cafe. Nice bacon and egg pie and a flat white for lunch, sitting outside on the deck in the sunshine, then rode back pretty much the same way.

There was a bit of low cloud above us as we crested the Kaimais, it got a bit overcast later on and the clouds got fairly dark a couple of times, we rode over a short patch where there'd been a light spatter of the wet stuff some time earlier but it cleared just for lunch. More trouble with one or two of the intersections where there were patches of shingle close to the centre line. But all in all it was a fantastic day.

IMO, it is not the rain that bothers me, it is the appalling condition of our roads. The very, treacherous slippery patches that seem to be everywhere, take the joy out of the ride.
And I do not live in Auckland. And I don't think Tink Does either.

I know the slippery patches are not pleasant....but they're there to keep you sharp....I kinda think it adds to the challenge. If the road was perfect all the way, no grit, no wet, no slippage, the ride would become boring. Not that I want anyone to low side it, but all the little nasties on the road 'need' to be there to keep us alert. The road is like life and if life was plain sailing all the way......then where is the learning? Where is the challenge? Where is the experience?

[myvice]

Daytona 675?
Yea... Spose its alright...

Well actually...I'm planning on doing a running jump off a very big hill before the year ends. My mother asked my yesterday if I was doing my "bucket list". :blink:

I'm not ....but I have just started living after years of exsisting. I too have some offspring and as I'm raising them alone I'm not as loose as I once was but....I still want to experience something:Punk:
