Cheers,

The link should work for most people in NZ, but not everyone due to some weird connection problems at home.

I'll try and stick some pics up somewhere that everyone can see them.

Its because you're hosting on a non standard port 8080 which won't be allowed through most corporate networks proxies/firewalls i.e. people at work.

Should work fine for home users though.

I had one of those but the wheel fell off!

It's actually just because we're on 100mbit wix, with a weird routing arrangement for anything non-wix to go through a 64k wireless link, so people who are with an isp that peers at wix will be able to view it, and it just won't work for anyone else.

Managed to get full insurance from swann through kiwibike.co.nz at a pretty reasonable rate thanks to one of the recommendations in another thread on here too :D

very nice condition for a 91vintage.
has it got really low miles?
or has someone recently had it fixed up? (after a crash maybe :p )

It's done 70km's but had a new engine put in 10km's ago aparrently.

It checked out fine the other day anyway.

I've got the old blown engine sitting at home.

Thanks for the pic MrMelon, I'm at home but couldn't view the previous post and know nothing about 100bit thingys.:o

Perhaps KK should bike shop in Wellington ?:D


Very nice bike, soon you'll be smokin with the big boys at the track I bet.:niceone:

MrMelon
6th August 2003, 10:16
Yeah, it's plenty of fun.. insanely quick for a 250 too :D

I'm trying to take it for a ride every day to get the hang of it... went for 15 mins last night before realising I hadn't turned the gas on... argh.

Once I get a bit better on it i'll definately be wanting to bring it out on the track. Work's been talking about hiring manfield for the day for us, so that could be interesting :D

 

ps. cheers for the boots!

Was the TZR parked outside ANZ today? If not - there was another nice one there

MrMelon
6th August 2003, 17:54
Yep that was my one outside ANZ.. I work across the road, and felt the urge to go for a rip around the bays with a couple of workmates at lunchtime :D

that TZR has to be made by suzuki engineer.
Until TL1000R they still didn't know how to fit the swing arm and fit them always the wrong side up. :p
Sorry suzuki owners. Just kidding.
