24 and a bit thousand k's ...man, that was sooooo painful it wasn't funny; New rear pads (i replaced the fronts about 3,000k's ago), 4 new iridium plugs.. how much for a plug??? tightened steering head, cleaned my filthy k&N filter which was so black it could have been mistaken for a Moari elder. oil, liquids, filter and lube here and there, valves checked and within tolerances and everything else on the bike checked, 7 and a half hours later and $900 i'm hurting.
I'm catchin the bus from now on.. oh wait.. the fuckin thing aint my commuter How painful is that shit, one year, 7 services, 6 sets of tyres, yoshi pipe, ohlins damper, new rear brake lever, fender eliminator, new chain and smaller front sprocket.. god knows how many tins of chain lube, one ticket for 40 k's over..not to mention the money i've given to the bastards in the gulf.
Still... was fuckin awesome..i've been to Raglan, the Naki, tip of the north island, the Coro, Welly, 16, 22 some other shit i have no idea where it was or where i was. ** Edit; maybe i should start a thread to get donations for a nav man and a labotomy reversal too ..??
Cheers all.. met some pretty cool people and some fukin idjiots too.. here's to another 24,000 k's
