I (after a 3 year 4 wheeled absence) have returned to the world of 2 wheeled freedom. Driven by the recent fuel price hikes, and a deal too good to refuse on the same kind of bike i sold when i begun the 4 wheeled life.

My bike is a Trusty 1990 GSX250R. While i would have preferred an Old(ish) school CBR250 like the Hurricane, none came up that suited (price/condition wise)

She has 74000 odd on the clock, but by the way she runs, im quite certain somone has cracked her open for a freshenup at some point.

WHile i still retain my 4 wheeled beast, The car will be more or less relagated only to racing (Drag Spec) or terrible weather.

I now shall regret my constant (yet intended in good humor) hasseling of my 2 wheeled friends, to which many a time i said "Two Wheels Too Few" whilst illustrating the Deficit with one hand palm to me ...

IN anycase i look forwards to gaining some friends, and having some good trips with what seems by all accounts (Lurked the forums for a couple of days...) to be a jolly nice bunch.

Right Charlie - Over and Out.

Won't be happening on here with that attitude...



Just kidding ya! Welcome, good to see you returning back to biking. What sort of drag car do you have?

Stay away from WINJA, John and sixpackback - they all have major problems. :devil2:

Black Jersey? haha no, i just live here, am actually from Temuka, a gold star to anyone who knows where that is...

Old bike is long gone. And good Riddance, from its right hand grip with its broken bolt at the steerer that used to rattle out over time, to its stuffed rear wheel bearings that got a jiggle on in corners, to its right fork seal that popped covering my fronts and tire in oil mid corner, good god i could go on all night!

The Drag car is a 95 Mitsubishi EVo Libero with "a couple" of modifications. ;) Still gets eaten by my mates 2005 R1 though.

Dont know how fast this one is, lost one of the balancing weights off the front wheel while pulling onto the motor way, she had a bit of a wobble on for the trip home.
