Hey all,

Back on two wheels... again... had the zxr750 just for a month towards the end of last year but found it didn't really suit my riding needs these days, bit bulky and what not.

Got sick of slow traffic the past month... again... so went ahead and bought the nicest bike I've ever owned - a gorgeous Yammy TRX850. Absolutely loving the different style of power delivery (only ever owned inline 4s) along with the light flickability it has to offer since I do mainly around town riding at the moment.

Anyway, definitely keen for the odd ride with a few (or more) others if the uni group is still alive and kicking. Enjoy a pic of my new bike in the meantime!

LOL @ SQUIGGLES AVATAR :eek:

Glad you're enjoying it Rob. I'm trying to convince myself to lend you some fruit off of mine but I just don't like the thought of your bike being nicked with my gear on it!

Oops, my bad. Here's TLDV8s post-crash-post: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/34253-Rusty-s-Ridesafe-350-Part-uno?p=725947#post725947

It was slippery, wet and after his off Sparky went to get his van, so TLDV8 and I stood in the rain for about an hour waiting for him, pointing out the slippery bit to other bikers. Then we headed back to the ride organisers for a BBQ. All in all a good day (for most of us) ;-)

Yeah mate, just gave the gs1200ss a birthday (you should have seen the steering head bearing that was pulled out...yikes)and got a yummy exhaust put on (the stock unit is massive!), went for a ride out to raglan last night, great sunny road riding this morning. SH23 is in ridiculously good condition, the roads are amazing out there!

We should catch up, I wanna see your trx in the flesh.

What we need is group ride with the SMC of old... Motorbyclist, PirateJafa, Slyer, Squiggles, Hanne and everybody else I can't think of right now!

Jafa is supposedly restoring his Widowmaker (RD) so once that's done I'm guessing we are going to celebrate with a Coro loop. :D Plus I'm the slowest rider to ever ride slow so I'm going to be TEC otherwise I'll piss everyone off!
