[MSTRS]

That is a HUGE jump from a 250. Be real respectful of your new ride until you get used to the weight and power. Nice bikes tho (I would say that, wouldn't I?). May be able to ride some of the way back with you....

[bladez]

yeah I know but I couldn't be botherd with a 600 or 750 cause I knew i'd always get a 1000/1100 later. I am gonna respect it till I get use to it cause i've been told it will throw me off otherwise :yes:

I noticed your in Napier. do you know where the fountain on the beach is? I'm meeting my mate there at 2pm on saturday. all I know is to keep going along the beach till I find it. Aparently the beach is on the way

Am leaving mobil paramata at 9.30am sharp. going up through levin way & coming back through masterton so can take new bike on the takas before the next ride on the 1st of october

You obviously don't know Napier very well - turn off the main road at Pakipaki - just past the lime works, then follow the Napier signs, veer left before the overbridge , then a right on to Kennedy Rd and follow your nose into the CBD. Stay on the main through road, eventually you come to the sea, hang left at the roundabout and Voila! The fountain is just on your right.
My Gixxer is 1989 Jap model - it has the upside down forks etc

[bladez]

nice looking bike on the right side:cool: what a bugger about the chain must have put a few thoughts in your head at the time ( what the hell has gone wrong )

Where is the bike now? or where did the chain break?

Cheers Scott

[knight rider]

hey scott was good to meet you. The bike snapped it's chain about 30mins from home so after not having much luck with passers by being able to help with a trailer etc I rang a mate & he grabbed a trailer I came to pick me up. got home about 1:30/2am

[knight rider]

nah dont think so as theres still ol in the engine but there was a hose that had ahole init but I think t may have fallen off because I couldn't find it afterwards. need to get it to Johnsonville bike shop now. was thinking about tss in the hutt but it's a long way to go get it. I work in johnsonville so it's easier for me

[MSTRS]

Bad luck there. Told you those bikes can be a handful!!
Nice to meet you by the way.

[knight rider]

was good to meet you 2. sorry I couldn't stay long as I was behind in time. I enjoyed the burger on the way back though. Wow are they huge

[MSTRS]

Told you that too!! Gotta listen to the 'old folks' ya know!

[knight rider]

hahaha true

[poorbastard]

Good to see you got back in one piece. Your bloody lucky it only broke where it did as well and not in the middle of nowhere.

Now get your arse into gear and get the thing fixed so I can have a look next weekend.
