Is this the Thursday Night ride with KB members or one of your own?

[Macstar]

I'm jumping in on the KB ride but offering specifically to the boys at SMC.

Where u thinking of going? and who else is going? I wanna come but my left hand is injured cannot press the clutch properly. So wanna know if this is gonna be an easy ride or a crazy ride...

[Macstar]

I'm not leading the ride but they usually cruise up SH16 for an hour and a half and around the back roads up there. The pace is usually pretty quick as far as group rides go.

Sore wrist? Well, stop playing underneath your IT desk and strap it up for a ride!

[klyong82]

PLaying underneath the desk with the receptionist is fun. Actually I am in the middle of servicing the brakes only done one out of three so far dont think I can make it then bro......you have fun...

[Macstar]

Oh yeah, I got that post-ride 'good feelin'. Was a good ride tonight, about 20 bikers of all sorts. 'Ol EJ showed up but didn't end up coming on the ride.

It was the first time I've had a straight line drag race with a GSXR 1000 - shit they can move, it left me for dead!

Next Thurs boys and girls!

[HungusMaximist]

Sounded you had a ball.....

Good old EJ pops up everywhere! Guess he could afford it seeing it doesn't costs him that much for petrol.

As for bikes, I've moved my concentration on to the SV650/1000s at the moment...

[Macstar]

Nice one mate. I've wanted a SV for a while too. There was a guy on a 650 that came for a ride with us once. He had upgraded the exhaust and maybe done a few other mods. I was impressed with the bikes acceleration and it sounded wicked being a twin. I've also had a quick blat on a 650 and enjoyed it. Not sure if the handle bar position of the SV would be comfortable on the longer rides as it's labelled as being a pretty aggressive position.

I'd go the thou just cause there's virtually no price or weight difference between the two.

Sheez mate, the RF will have a hard time keepin up with on a SV1000, I liked it better when you had the old Katana! (If you haven't bought a bike in a month or two, and if you're keen, I'll give you first option on the RF and the KTM!).

[motorbyclist]

those are good rides to go on, i did two of them a while ago (one with chris and another with dad & brother)

Ha! I'll accept a trade in of your GNs (50 cents a piece) which leaves $49 balance.:done:

[klyong82]

No SV gonna beat my Blade even Squiggles TL aint match yet :bleh:

I'll give you $100 for the KTM Isaac. Save you the trouble of having to resale the GN for another $50 bucks. Win-win situation

[Macstar]

$1600-$1700 flying in January. Is that with China Air? I need domestic flights too, so expecting just over 2k. Or maybe I could buy a scooter and ride from Shanghai to Beijing to Xian!
