About bloody time I got a new bike!!!! :headbang:

The insurance payed out on last friday so went bike hunting on saturday and found me a beaut.

Picked me up a 1991 ZXRc 250 last weekend. Reckon I got it for a reasonable price too. Only set me back $2600. Just had to put a rear tyre on it and a wof and rego. Shes done a few k´s (60) but :whocares: she goes like stink.A bit different to the old Gixxer but an improvement if anything.

Still got the old Gixxer as well. Got her going last week. Just look like a dick riding it around with no front fairings.

Advertised in the trade and exchange. I don't know why he sold it so cheap but I wasn't one to argue. I just kept my mouth shut about the price. Well actually managed to get him down 100 cos it needed a new tyre. :done:

Nice bike there...

Shame about the colour scheme, not enough green if you ask me though.

Was great. Couldn't have had a nicer day, even managed to stop and have a walk around the park with the little train :niceone: . Oh and saw the TUI brewery for the first time. But yea bike went great. Took it in for a service when I got back and it flew through the wof.

Nice one mate! Good on ya for getting it sorted. And now you've got a 'pit bike' too eh?! You're right - that's a real good price for a ZXR, they seem to go for quite a bit usually.

See you on the road - bring it along on a Thurs ride eh?

Meet 6-6.30 at the bottom of the Maungaraki Hill (SH2 just after (I think) the Melling turnoff. Or maybe before. Around there anyway). Check and see when someone posts it in thr Meetings and Events pages.
