Well it's been a while since i last visited the site, been too busy out riding ;).
thought i'd post a short bit about a couple of rides about the place recently:

Borrowed Gixxer 4 Ever's bike to day trip from Napier to wellington a few weekends ago, (now i can't wait to permanently get onto a bigger bike!), which went well (ie no Cops) and i'm now definatly stepping up to a sprotsbike ASAP.

But by far the most interesting trip i've made recently was delivering 'Mike B's Zxr-250 from napier to christchurch. Left work on the friday, stayed in welly, then across on the ferry sat afternoon. to which was duely greeted with sunset. So having never ridden the south island before and scared buggery about ice, Picton to Christchurch was in darkness the whole way. Apparently there's some good scenery to be had along there, needless to say i didn't get to see much of that. Arrived in chch 3 1/2 hours after leaving picton suprisinlgy warm.

Been having a play on the GPX recently, photo's are self explanitory(sp?)... (also need a new camera)...

SB, I am sure my neighbours are going to complain about you.....what with those loud custom pipes and your stoppies outside my house...
You look good on your Dad's bike, and I agree that you have out grown/ridden your GPX.


BTW, what the hell were you doing posting this at 3am!!!!!

Looks like the home made pipes screwed up the balance on your bike. you can't even keep the back wheel on the deck any more. :rofl:

For sure it's not very offen you see and natural when it comes to rideing but he is one and with a father like yourself to teach him is really great. May you should buy him a racing big i think he would be great to watch.

I've always said Kawasaki designed the originals all wrong... now if only everyone paid out for some of these custom pipes then they could all be doing stoppies...:Punk:

i agree, it would be awesome to be able to have a race bike. but unless daddy is feeling very generous i don't think i'll be getting one for a couple of years yet. maybe when the apprentiship's all finished i'll look at doing that. :yes:

I would so like to see him on a race bike. I recon he would be pretty good but it's down to bling and I have very little to spare. Get da kids educated and they can do it them selves.:yes:
