Delayed by kids :angry2: didn't get to the Shell till 10:40....nobody there so I carried on. Obviously too slow to catch anyone ahead. Stopped at the pub after the Kopu bridge and was told about 30 riders had gone through 30 minutes before. Stopped and had a ginger beer and chatted to another rider that was telling me the tar was all melted in places in the loop. So decided to shorten the trip and return home. Whilst chilling saw an accident at the T junction. Car starts to turn right into the path of an oncoming car. Car brakes ...smack. Nobody seriously injured, though the passenger of the car going straight on was complaining her chest hurt. So if a turning car doesn't see a car coming the other way, what chance a bike.

Roads were pretty busy on the way home. As I went up SH1 it looked like Andy and another rider exiting Autobhan southbound around 2 pm.

Well I can chill this afternoon, clean and fettle the bike and be ready for another blast.

well Andrew and I did our own ride today, around 1pm, the usual clevedon kaiaua loop... great ride but due to stinking hot and slippery tar we couldnt push anything too much... One thing i was incredibly impressed about (aside from all other aspects of your riding andrew) was his takeoff's! dunno if its him or the bike but i was hard pressed to get a bike length in on the 400! and how that 250 ran... mm goes quicker then i rememberd in the last kb ride.

-argh and to think so many KB'ers out riding, shoulda just tried txting you blu, coulda caught up and joined in on the ride.. and riddin for longer... Oh and FF i bloody blame you for making me ride today and not going home to gf and blah blah (heh thanks dude! just remember your my excuse)

Damn - missed them all! Had some troublesome rear calipers that didn't want to bleed properly - i think i spent about 2 hours pumping the brake by hand with the brake fluid moving backwards and forwards the same amount :(

All sorted for track day on Friday now tho!

Well I was looking like returning to NZ, but things seem to have changed for now. Perhaps you can tell all your mates that the ex racer on the SP2 is staying in Australia because he's too scared to front up and get whipped :sweatdrop

Well, i hope u can return to NZ soon, because im leaving to Japan (Hello Suzuka)
I would like to add a SP2 to my list of bikes blasted by a 250 :laugh: The list just gets bigger and bigger every weekend.
Maybe another time? :bye:

You know what they say - some people are dreamers, they live for the future. LOL- and other people say that those who live 1200km away from proving themselves right have no basis of argument. Having ridden with Andy - I would put odds on he could storm the SP2......shit - it is only a heavy 130hp Twin at the end of the day - he has snotted well more powerful and lighter bikes than this.

Now a question - why an SP2??? This isn't a smart arsed question - as I previously owned a VTR = so know the twin allure. Just with the cost of the SP2 - you could get a hell quicker multi with shit loads of change in the back pocket? At the end of the day it is just a jap twin? I know the whole ex-racer/race bike argument....but surely bang for your buck dictates a multi (R1, GSXR, 954 et al) have got to be a better buy? I have never understood the pricing of the SP1/SP2.....

Makes little sense to me - as for the cost of your SP2 - I coulda fruited the bejesus out of my R1 (which out of the box is quick enuf)...still it takes all sorts. Nice looking bike - test rode one before I bought the R1.....just didn't ring my bells.......
