Hey everyone,
Just updating all my mates here in KB with my latest situation bike wise.
I've just sold my CBR400RR and my RS125 GP bike.
The GSXR will be the next one to go hopefully.
Just on Saturday night, I picked myself up a 1992 CBR 600 from Wellington. To avoid repeating history with blowing another engine on an older bike, I will be getting the motor freashned and a few other things done on it ASAP.
After that, it'll be road rides all the way just like the old times! It's gonna be mint!! :Punk:

How much did you get that one for?
I like those CBR600s........

20th February 2006, 17:39
Awesome :)
I agree with bugjuice, it'll be good to see ya on the road again.
What stuff are you getting done to it? I'm being a bit cautious with my new bandit too, I'm going to check the valve clearances before taking it on any rides plus sort out the brakes and get a new chain.

What a shitbox, i had to resist big time from kicking it over in the carpark, mainly from fear you would kick the Gix over the next day, not fear of you in person, i'd lock your skinny arse in a 40fter and watch you roast inside it, then feed you to john's kids, more fear of having to spend more money than i have to.
All in all mate, will be good to have you out there again, shame you have an excuse for not keeping up now

If he can keep up on that CBR of his... One of us will give the other the learn pretty soon I'm sure.

$2,500 man. It's just got high milage but I'll spend money on it to make it reliable. Replace the cam chain and go through the whole motor to check for any trouble. Then all the bearings etc etc.
I can see why people love these bikes. Its so damn easy to ride around corners on. Compaired to this, my GSXR is WAY more technical to ride fast!

It'll be great to BE back! :) Yep valve clearances are a must. I'm doing the same with mine.

If a gay dude on a '92 CBR600F flys past you around corners, while you are on your '06 GSXR1000, how bad are you going to feel? So, I feel sorry for you my friend.

I'm just fooling around too man. :)
I've got some savings done now and if I wanted, I could tick up a 2006 ZX10 for myself.
However going to Uni this year and maybe saving up for a house in the near future are in the cards.
So I got me something cheap that'll do the job just fine. :)

I know my reputation in KB in the recent past has gone down in the dumps with people who don't know me personally and I have a couple of people to thank for that.
People like me. Be careful and take care out there.

Na, the suspension on this is all good eh! Real stiff as! Like I said, it just wants to hug the turns and the bike almost wants to ride itself compaired to the GSXR!
Are you doing the loop this Saturday? Would be cool as to watch your wheelies again. Bruce tells me you have improved shit loads!!

Ha! Nah - gotta get used to it at the mo - only got it last Wed. I'm prob gonna head up to Manfield this Sat but not take the bike out on it yet. I thought I'd wait til I've got to know it a bit more before I try and bin it on the track!
I'm gonna bring it up to Auckland in the middle of March though cause me and Skelstar and Badlieutenant are heading up at the same time for the U2 concert. We should have a KB get-together then and I can show off the little baby! (Well, more to have a get-together than show it off, but you know what I mean.)

Velox! Fuckin A! Now, there's someone who knows how to ride a bike!!
That's wicked news about the RR!! They are hot bikes specially in black! Got any pics of the sex on wheels?? With the right pilot (like yourself) thoes things fly!
Can't wait till March, be sure to bring all the boys from Wellington too! Haven't seen Deno or Jimbo and them for ages.

Cheers mate! Here's a pretty crap pic - I need to take some decent ones soon. Dunno if anyone else will be coming up in March apart from us 3 but we should all have lunch or a drink or something before the concert. Don't know what time it is though because I've hidden the tickets so "safely" in my room that they've totally disappeared! It'll be the 18th though. I'll post something closer to the time about it. Or we could go for a breaky ride on Sun morn as us fellas head back to Wgtn. Actually that could work out way easier.

OMG! after getting an ass whooping from a Jade I don't think my ego will allow me to ride with you anymore!! Great bike BTW, I was hoping to head up with you and Skelstar but I need to go afterwork and I don't think the CBR has much on the 737:woohoo:

Did you put the rim tape on? If so did you but it from NZ, I am thinking of getting some silver rim tape from Ebay for mine. Is your 6mm?

Ah I see. I didn't put it on but Sparky Bills put some on his so send him a pm and he'll know where to get it from or he'll prob get it in for you. He's got the 05 black cbr with red tape. Dunno what size tape I've got though sorry.
