Korea
30th January 2006, 18:30
So here it is~ My 200th post on KB~!
Still in S.Korea, enjoying the great B-roads deviod of any police presence and getting up to plenty of anti-social bike behaviour with a group of Korean riding buddies. There is some pretty nice scenery to discover in Korea by bike, but it can't really hold a candle to NZ greenery.
Meanwhile, we're justing coming out of the tail-end of Winter here and it has been too cold to go on any serious rides, although I have been practicing on my favourite local twisties.
When spring kicks in proper, the riders will be out in force again and that winter training will pay-off! Oh yeah, KB reprazent! :yeah: er... anyway...
Haven't totally written-off the possibility of entering the Korean road-racing series with the 125 Exiv, but word is that the Exiv races are being discontinued in light of the new Hyosung 650, and Daelim Roadwin 125 series' starting. :(
More on that later...
Plan to be back in NZ later on this year, definitely in time for Xmas.
Wondering what to do with the CBR600RR ~ easiest is to sell it here and pick something up in NZ, but haven't ruled out the possibility of boxing it up and shipping it home ~ but then there's all the bloody import hastle and VINing and registering buggary bollocks to go through.
Anyone done it recently and know the costs involved?
If I do go with the latter plan, I'll do some mod's before I leave:
- Arata full titanium system! (might need powercommander???)
- Rearsets
- HID headlights
- Braided brake lines
If I go with the former ~ I'll save my dolleros for my next NZ bike...
What would you do???
In the meantime, here's some action from recent winter rides around Daegu city, S.Korea. Enjoy~
Looking forward to riding with the KB crowd soon! :ride:
