Me & Phurrball are going for a cruise somewhere tomorrow at 11am. I've had enough of texting and PM'ing people that never come, so if you're serious about going I'll see you at the UOA gym at 10.30am sharp.

Note: 10.30 am is cause we need to suss out where we are going and whether we will meet Phurrball near his turff or have him come to us.

Ride will not take much more than 3 hours and learners can come (if you lag we'll wait for you at intersections etc).

i'm keen, and maybe if you guys could meet me and phurrball out west that would be good (rather than us spending 20 minutes getting to uni and another 20 coming back again)

backroads around my place are perfect for the motard, and if we could end up in kumeu (via backroads of course) that would be a bonus too

Yeah that could be the plan which is why I'm meeting at 10.30am in case we ride out there.

Titirangi village at 11am for those out west or 10.30am UOA gym for those everywhere else.

Ride will be mapped out by two locals, so should be some good roads.

Don't worry, I'll be starting a 9-5 in Jan unfortunately (My student days are almost officially over after a certificate, a diploma and two degrees).


Anyway:

I just got back - ended up being a 4 hour ride (with quite a few stops). Good fun and Andy showed us a few local back roads too.

I'll probably be free on Friday so gimme a text.

i was thinking, if i got $150 a week on my student loan and banked it, after two years i could buy a brand new R6 or CBR600rrrrrrrrrrrr

i got a few bikes in mind...

was pretty sure i'd want the SV1000S, at that price why the hell not, just wasnt sure about the 1 litre thing coming from a 250. then last week i saw the SV650S going for 10499 brand new and suddenly that became my top of the list bike. GT650 i am considering but its still running in at 9999 so i might as well pay and extra 500 and get the SV650. VTR1000 also possible, its the same price as the SV1000 but i like the edgier lines on the SV better than the VTR which looks like a blob. was quite keen on the GSXR600 cos of the suzukifest pricing but its still a bit high. Also keen on the GSR600 but its about the same price as the SV1000. GS500 looks like a cheap gixxer imitator but i dont think i will go for that. GSF750 katana price looks good at 9999 but like the VTR1000 looks like a blob. then there is also the GT650X but its not out yet and i dont know prices on it.

What type of biker are you?

lol dont get offended, I just want to know if you are a sports/ tour/ streetfighter etc

carbacca
28th November 2007, 16:01
i am rather undecided

initially i though sports, but after a while you do get tired of the fairings having to take them off put them back on etc, takes up lots of time when servicing etc so the streetfighter/naked thing is starting to grow on me. the SVxxS seems like a good compromise however

Don't get a Kawasaki Z750 lol

That's MINE :D

P.S. How about the ER6n? $10,790

carbacca
28th November 2007, 16:06
rather get the SV650S, $10500, and its a VTwin

did look at the Er6 but i dont like paralle twins, just me

28th November 2007, 16:07

Yeah go for it Hong, if I got a third bike it would probably be SV650/1000 or ER6n too. They have enough kumuras to keep you happy and are still light enought to throw around. Plus I am a naked bike fan.

But I like to stick out so my third bike would be a mean as street fighter, or maybe the Aprila SXV 550 - that thing was seriously fun!
