Picked up a smick Superduke from TSS today and have already wheelied the crap out of it. Truly an awesome piece of machinery. A very special thanks to Ollie and Stu at TSS for putting up with my whining crap and getting me on a bike. Nice one.

Thanks also to Motomart and Wellington motorcycles for providing good advice and test rides etc. Wellington is very lucky to have such good service.

Sat 24th TSS are having a RC8 unveiling too so get yer arses down there to have a look.

See y'all out there

Lucky? You wouldn't say that if you saw how much money I owe to folk. Dead would be more like it. Here for a good time not a long time though.

I suspected something was up. I haven't seen you out and about for ages Jimbo. Congrats Man on going euro flash for a change.

A person can only handle so many jappa sports bikes in a row before they need to taste something different for a change. Variety is the spice of life and all that ..yarda, yarda. But's it true. A fresh bike, a different riding style, different engine type, A CHANGE IN COLOUR! all that new buzz must put a smile on your face. Or has Stu specially imported a blue/white one for you? Nah, it must be orange right?

I might be over the hill Sunday so I hope to see you. Will text ya if I get out.

Now get out and enjoy the new toy Jimbo.

ps- so now you need to change your leathers to match.

They're obviously getting popular in Whitby. I don't think I've seen another on the road yet, so I'll keep an eye open.

Did Stu sort you out with some replacement pipes or are you still on the stock?

Enjoy :2thumbsup

I see there is one on tardme for reasonable money.

The seller can't spell 'Super'.

Some people are so stupid, if I search trademe for 'Superduke' I don't get that bike.

I'll have to go look it up again, but I'm pretty certain you don't need to if you put the Akras on and get the Akra map loaded. I think KTM wisdom had it that this removed the throttle limitation around the 2nd and 3rd gears.

I guess it's a calculated risk, but I imported the Akras from oversees, paid duty and freight had them fitted and the new map loaded and they still cost about a third of the price TSS had quoted on them.

I should point out that it's not TSS's fault, they had to buy from the importer who wanted lots of $ to start with. Fergus tried his best to get the price down, but eventually told me to go get them oversees as he couldn't even get close.

Any rider who needs to plaster as many crash bobs as possible to every orrifice his bike has rings alarms bells to me!
And those uggggly mufflers! They look like he supa-glued a few Watties bake beans cans together and called it a race pipe. Jimbo..NO, NO, NO. Get a decent set of pipes for your new toy. You know it's all about the look.

Have you clocked up the first service yet? If not...you slacker!

1st service done Monday mate. Courtesy of TSS too.

Saving up for some trick Akras at the moment. Right now I can barely afford to fill the thing with gas.

Mate better get in quick the blardy price is just going up and up. $2.02 I paid for 95 today.

Mind you if it goes too high the orange thing wouldn't make a bad ornament if ya can't afford to run it.

Else you could just leave it at my place and I'll fill it with gas and put it to good use.

p.s. I made 5,000 posts a couple of days so who has gone and stolen about 150 of them again and why? Damn I'm still on the race to 5,000 - there is a conspiracy against white boys from Porirua.
