LMAO YES I AM GOD!


Well I picked up my ZXR today, man I've never had so much fun on a bike ever in my life :banana:

Never thought I would see a 250 with such a huge aftermarket exhaust and bloody amazing acceleration, it pulls over 180 easy (speedo is aparently 4% out)

I will get pictures tommorrow, sorry to that GSX-R rider that I couldnt wave to my wrist was sore and I was stretching and I looked up and missed you only to see you wave so heres one for ya :spudwave:

[StoneChucker]

I don't understand, the speed limit is 100? ;)
Good stuff mate, it's always nice to hear people enjoying their bikes. It's hard not to though! (a few unfortunate KB exceptions...)

Waiting for pics :niceone:
Ride safe,
Dave.

[justsomeguy]

Wanna go for a ride this Sat???

[bear]

Does that 4% make it under or over? How did you figure out that it was out, or were you just told?

[Biff]

Well done you. Hope you heaps of safe fun :2thumbsup

Yes, yes, of course he meant "on a closed private road, under controlled conditions, with appropriate safety considerations, etc. etc.":yeah:

Thanks for the replies, well heres the long events of the day.

I went down to Auckland with my mother and sister, as I dont have a credit rating and they said that I wouldnt qualify for one :confused: but anywho, it all went through and went ok and I geared up and got ready to leave, after figuring out how much of a bitch it wanted to be to start that day for some reason was amazing, 10mins later it roared into life.

So I went for a quick loop to get the handling and acceleration sorted out and see what it could do then a painfull atempt to get on the northern motorway, but after abit of quick thinking I managed to get on and was off blasting down the motorway (first time on the motorway) and found the drivers to be OK'ish it was around 1 so it wasnt real busy.

Then I hit the albany (new motorway bit) and some random bmw 328i's came for a party but I steadly declined, and pulled out of there way. (good boy huh :banana: )

Started into the 'bush' and headed north after a quick refil and a drink, then stoped about three more times to regain myself, and then pootled home, with the acception of blasting a few holdens/a subaru, and giving myself the willies when I actually hit 180 easily :banana:

Then I headed to the dargaville hospital to see my brothers new baby, that was all good hadnot seen him for a long time (he even loved the bike!).

The exhaust on it is nice as hell, its a JCMA full system its like a 'civic vtec, big zorst etc no wastegate' at ide, and when it starts over 5000rpm, its bloody deafening even heard easily over the wind, I compare it to a GSXR1000 easy (sound wise).

At the last set of lights in whagarei I was greated by two mid 20yo's with an escudo, RICED out as hell - they camly lean over and say 'wanna drag' I dont know if it was teh fatigue, or the mear balls they had to ask or just the fact it was an escudo (my mate has one and it is a joke) but I cracked up laughing, just about dropping my bike in the proccess, then I asked them 'are you serious?' that was answered by the reving of its furious engine of huge suzuki power (one to which they are soooooo good for :whistle:) and yea, even though I was piled behing about 4 cars, I roasted him home by about 20sec and it was only 300m at the most to my house, and I didnt even break 60 doing it, then they roared past me as I turned into my house trying to 'drop it'. That was the highlight of the day, even if I had to give the bike back tommorrow that would have being worth it.

But when I got home, I thought to myself (after a few misses of cops in town thanks to a few kind citizens flashing....lights) man those brakes were abit crappy compared to the ZZR,and got home, and looked at the forks, blow my goats fork oil everywhere on both wheels, I had tech in the morning and hadto sleep it was a huge trip to do on a bike I havnt ridden before, but it was nice to get up and personal with the bike.

In the morning I managed to get up for tech at 6, and went and checked it again, the main problem is the fact that there was oil everywhere on my brake disks, pads - actually SOAKED (no exageration), then I checked the rear, to notice all the crap that they put on the chain had being dripping on the tires, (good thing I wasnt riding as hard as normal!) so I managed it unscaved, I called red baron and they are paying for it to be repaired up in whangarei which I am happy about, and I will also get the alarm that Red Baron gave me installed.

Anyway thanks for reading that load of rubbish, if you see a little boy with red/white/black leathers (AND GLOVES!) smiling his face off wave back to me please :2thumbsup, or pull me over and we can have a chat - I will be keen for some KB'er rides now, as soon as I get it done so sorry about that 'justsomeguy' but I cant do any long trips until I get the forks resealed.

also they did a gauge acuracy test for me thats how I know what percentage it is.

Sorry about pictures, but I was at tech all day, I will gets some tommorrow in the sunlight cuz it just looks snazzier :done:
