Well I couldnt wait any longer.... I was looking at a GSF1200 on trade me but the owner wasnt very helpfull so I ended up Buying a RF900 instead.
Not as quick as my old ZXR but she goes quite nice.
went for the go fast Red. Great ride past Warkworth and back even with the rain and showers. Lots of slow traffic heading back to Auckland but the ride was worth the trip.
Was going to drop in to see Anne and Maha but one of my girls got a bit car sick so Sorry guys.
Feels great to be on a bike again. :scooter::woohoo:
Police has put me in the clear at last with the crash. Was the truck drivers fault.

You have a proven psychological advantage and a greater likely hood of winning if your colour / team colour is red.:yes:
(I even saw it on discovery it must be true :laugh:)

Huh.
Mebbe that's what's wrong with me.
Although when I went to get a coffee a few minutes ago, and saw my beautiful blue machine in the sun, it made me feel pretty good.

He's got a veritable mob of children - could just leave them holding the bike off the ground while he pops over to Cycletreads with the wheels?

Nice bike
I think you need some sort of licence with that many kids.
Your daughter seemed enamoured with bikes - may have to teach her
If you need a hand transporting I can offer assistance. Working in GI this week have car w/towbar etc.....

It is a bit of a mission to do it manually.
Other than racers, most won't have the gear to do a tyre swap manually. Aren't you better off pulling the old wheels and taking the lot to a shop?
