I GOT A NEW TOY!!!

[Rashika]

well here it is...my new baby from this saturday. :love:

and for those who may not recognise it, it is a Buell Firebolt XB12R, 2004.
yeah okay...it is Harley motor in a fancy frame as D had so eloquently put it a few days back.
It has custom paintwork, the guy who is selling it was going to race it but just doesn't have the time...hense the unusual colouring, the HD racing colours.

We are heading down to fairlie to pick it up (about 2 hours or so from chch) on saturday morning for anyone who wants to come along (meet at Rolleston main road servo about 8.30-9am), fingers crossed the weather is good, cos i dont fancy riding a new bike back in the rain, otherwise it could be a VERY slow trip!

ooooooooo I'm soooo damn excited :woohoo:

[Joni]

Yay Gwenda, I am so happy for you.... :spudflip:

I love seeing someone get something they really want and appreciate. Have fun and be safe... :ride:

:sunny:

[Bren_chch]

its very nice... well done! :ride:

Hey thats rather cunning what ya did with the photo Rashika, black n whiteing it aye.

I had to admit that that bike did look the mutts nutts in the flesh cos the pic dident make that Yanky anchor look that good but its awesome aye.
A shit load of time has been put into it from athe paint too the rear sets, clipons fancy frount break set up dampner and race kitted engine etc.

Should be a ok ride on Sat morning aye...... :ride:

te he he...yeah baby yeah!

...and now for the first time ever, (after having been to 5 already), and when/if I can be bothered going again, although it is fun looking at the bikes and even getting a play on some....I can actually get into the HOG rally on my own bike!
What a novel concept that would be :Punk:

[Rashika]

funnily enough someone has already mentioned that he would quite like to take it out at Ruapuna himself...eh D???
Guess that just spoiled your reputation eh dude :rofl:

[Rashika]

Lovely bikes - you'll enjoy it! Congrats.
Hey - is it new bike fever around here....?

Must be!
But I 've had the fever for these for awhile...its just nice to be able to action it at last.
Man I'm gonna have some fun :devil2:

[TonyB]

Very nice!! Everyone is gonna be queing up for a go on it :chase:

[old farts]

Nice one like the pic :ride:

[Timetogo]

Out of interest the latest "Bike" magazine (Sept issue) which is british and always very pro the lastest gsxr, cbrr, zx10 etc etc ,rated it as the best cornering bike in the world. Would quite like a turn myself
Have fun :-)

I know...I read it...pretty cool :Punk:

Now all i have to do is learn how to corner it myself...bit of a chicken is me...maybe i just shut my eyes and let the bike do it?? :devil2:

[vifferman]

Congratulations, Rashika! Nice bike. :yes:

I don't think you'll need to close your eyes when cornering; the thing about bikes that corner easily is that it's so effortless you don't even have to do more than look at the corner and they seem to go around by themselves!

[TonyB]

Oi- change your bloody bike on your user thingy! 'Maybe a Buell soon' is now outdated. Shit I love seeing someone getting the bike they have dreamed of owning.

[stanko]

Really nice bike you have scored. A little envy here ,Ill get over it.
So did it win hands down over the Porsch or was it a bit closer ?

ah...well given that the porsche was $79,000 dearer, I think the Buell was an easy choice!

[WRT]

Nice one - well done!

And yup, new bike fever is alive and kicking in KB land, I've got it too . . . now on the prowl for a nice red and silver aprilia - if you hear of one going cheap(ish), PM me!

[James Deuce]

As TonyB said, hurry and change your profile Rashika. Stop mocking us.

[Lou Girardin]

Great! Another convert to corner speed.

[inlinefour]

Thats one fine looking bike :ride:

[White trash]

Good shit Rashika. Can't wait to see you carving up that weird-Oh D at a track soon.

[dangerous]

damn its been raining overnight, lookiing very suspect out there

[Rashika]

and we know how you DO NOT ride in the rain!
come on D, gotta take the bike

....hard work convincing you D.
BUT I think talking to my female mate on the 1200 bandit (who's coming with us) has convinced him that he is a real woos if he doesn't :baby:

[TonyB]

LOL D where is your pride man??? You told me this morning that you're a 'big girls blouse and proud of it'. Did you end up caving in to the pressure from these women?

[Joni]

Ummm, I reckon it should be embarrassing when woman has pressurise a man to not to be a blouse... but hey! D... a rule unto himself :bleh:

PS - Gwenda, have a blast! :ride:

[branco]

very, very nice. hope u enjoy your new baby.

[dangerous]

Good shit Rashika. Can't wait to see you carving up that weird-Oh D at a track soon.

Yeah well....... now I'm a 'big soft cock wimp give in to pussy girls blouse' and proud of it... but hey... it was below 10* and wet.... suck on that :finger: (aint going to happen in a hurry again)


:spudflip:
PS - Gwenda, have a blast! :ride:
HUH...... shows what you know.... its a FireBolt :bleh:

[dangerous]

Well.... ya know riding in less than 10* temp and the wet wasn't all that bad.... actually it was the 1st time I have worn Cordura in that sort of weather, bloody good it was, beats leather hands down.

Ok Meet at the servo... where was every one? Jimmie was there on the GB but was only saying hi before buggering off home.
Rashika's mate Sharon on a 1200 Bandit was also waiting and keen to get the show on the road.

Pic's.... The bike was brought from High Country m/c in Fairlie Noel Jackson is the owner, what a perfectionist he is heres a couple of his bikes that he has modded Rashika's bike being his very own bike.

pic1) Noels wifes S1 Lightning
2) X1 Lightning that is having a 1680cc S&S jamed in it
3) mini chopper..... so cool
4) Rashika's XB12R FireBolt
5) XB12R Firebolt

[Silage]

Good to hear youall got back OK. Was it raining/wet roads for most of the way?

The first of the pics you posted looks really great. Do High Country mc do the custom painting themselves. A Harley rider at work had his painted somewhere down that way.
