Well at 5.47pm tonight I got a text sent to me containing a picture of my new bike, which had just finished being assembled. They wanted to surprise me tonight with it but the paperwork didnt arrived today so they couldnt register it. :mellow:
So I will have to wait till Monday (fingers crossed)

But I will be able to go and look at it tomorrow when I drop my 250 off.

So all will be revealed very soon. :yes:

Its more so the paperwork from Auckland so they can register it that they are waiting for.
I can wait, plus need to finish gardens etc around home this weekend, and spray so I can go out riding heaps!!!

Can't register vehicles at postshops, only at plate agents (AA, VTNZ etc)

Yep sure does,pity the idiot riding it can't get the sound screaming,shit can it take off,on our private track 2 up it pulled 170km and still had more,me my balls weren't that big.

Need some ear plugs.Is all they say,amazing 20yr difference in handling makes,and brakes,really instills confidence,but even hitting a reasonable sized stone it twitched and still carried on ok.Looking forward to a decent trip maybe use the tent given 3 yrs ago hehehe.

Well my new bike arrived today, Pauly picked it up after work, as I didnt finish till 6pm. And typical the sky decided to cry for me. Bloody rain.

But my new baby is in the shed, looking sexy as ever (minus the new pipe, need to wait a couple of weeks for that)

Hopefully the weather will play the game at least for a couple of hours tomorrow night so start to get to know her.

Oh shit. I'm going to have to clean mine.

Your bike looks good. I can't wait to see it out and about. My engine took about 3000k to loosen up properly. Have fun. CDMTC cruise on Wednesday at 6:00pm if you want a quiet run.

Very nice! Now all you need is a set of Givi Luggage, chain oiler, sheepskin, bigger screen and you'll be set for some decent touring...

Well for a start, went for my first ride on my bike tonight. Bike feels great, very smooth etc. But one small problem occuring while I was out.......I lost my Number plate!!! Oh well $8.20 tomorrow to go and get a new one. And will be speaking with Freedom about that slight problem.

No heated handgrips for me at this stage, but who knows what the winer may bring with I am :cold:

You aint wrong there,the difference 2 up between 750 and 1250 is unbelieveable,plus the latter handles better might have a bit to do as well.
