Hi Guys and Girls
I have had a great time riding here but with the rising cost of fuel, the damage the roads can do to the bikes here, the lack of roads in my surrounding area & a good friend not riding any more it's got me thinking about giving up the Giixer.
So if anyone is interested in a mint K4 Gixer 750 please let me know and we can talk details.

Why do you say there are no roads to ride round here? Maybe you need to change your point of view or style of bike you ride?

Dude that's a bugger to hear! Sure there aren't other good people around now to ride with, and roads you could travel to to play on....
Just quietly after our chat about vision and riding in reference to my boy I found it really inspiring and heartening to find you had similar difficulties growing up and have managed to still enjoy Motorbikes...something I am fearful that he might want to get into but may not develop enough quality vision to do safely.

Hmmm, Wellington isn't lacking quality roads IMHO.
But I can attest to the fact that the Gixxer is a very nice bike :yes:
Good luck with the sale mate - unless of course you decide to keep it after all ;)

Don't worry - they can work magic these days. :sunny:
As long as he doesn't bring the "DIE DIE DIE" attitude out there he should be perfectly fine ;)

Whatttttttttt!!!!!! Noooooooooo!!!!!!!
Just a sec, my head's spinning.......
Ok, calm, composed.
I guess in a way it's a fair call, but you kinda love your yellow gixxer,.... don't you?? Are you thinking of giving up riding all together for a while, or just selling the gixxer and getting something else, something more reliable, like a Honda maybe??:Pokey: :laugh:
Wasn't so long ago Nige went through a 'going to give up riding blah blah blah' thing, then discovered a different bike. Maybe a change of bike and scenery is what you need? (and I don't mean a scooter). A ride around the South Island maybe? Or you could build and race a bucket ;)

It's not an attitude, he's 4 and he likes movies and Metallica (good boy!!)

Taz, isn't there a little iron that you spent all those years in the UK riding on those shit roads with salt and Gatso's, and smaller minded police and then you come to NZ and give it up?
And the other thing, no bike means you can't watch the MotoGP or WSB anymore, its not allowed.
