General Bike Ravings

So, i own a 2000 model rgv150, in my opinion an underated bike which many people pass off as being slow and crap compared with fxr's, rg150's,kr150's etc,but is it so???
as the site link below may tell you and i am going to tell you- suzuki rgv150-26.5hp @9500rpm-the site is on average is 3hp high when compared with magazine rwhp dyno tests, so rear wheel power is probably around 23rwhp.

You wake up and think its a lovely sunny summers day. Great lets go for a ride, hmm who to go with not much of a choice as I didnt really know many bikers. I arranged to meet Phoenix, and Skidmark *(didnt know what his reputation was like on KB at that point as I was a newbie)*

We left Akl and the destination was Kaiaua. Both them were on ZXR 250s and I was on my ZX6R. Great I had the upper hand and power hahaha!
Anyway, Mark left me for dust, as I didnt know the roads, and ...

Just a little vid I made the other night on my NC24. The speed through the tunnel at the end is from 100 - 155kph in fifth gear so in sixth gear I think it might even be able to do 170 - but its hard to find out with the roads I have available...
a daytime vid would have been much better for viewing, but a weeknight is the only time there is that little traffic around. I still need to figure out a better setup for the sound too, to reduce wind ...

Check out this neat little bike park I found in the underground car park of the new Yodobashi shop in Akihabara. It has its own ticket machine and gate etc. This was quite a welcome find because it was pissing with rain so it was nice to be able to get changed and go straight into the shop without getting soaked. I almost didn't get a photo because the nazi carpark attendant told me it was against copyright or some bullshit that he couldn't even ...

Hi folks, well i'm planning slowly but methodically. The more i look at places to go the more daunted i feel about it cos i just have no idea where to start (suppose the airport might be best). Thats the problem with living on a very small island, you become almost agrophobic about goin anywhere bigger. I'm looking forward to it though and i suppose i'll just figure it out when i get there.

I'll look into getting a bike when i get there too, any help would be greatly appreciated. ...

I came across this one parked near me in a supermarket bike-park. As well as having the typical outrageous muffler and various blingy bits, this one was another step above the rest. It had some kind of pneumatic system to raise and lower the whole swingarm. To park it he doesn't use the side-stand, instead the whole bike lowers right down and rests on a couple of small runner wheels underneath the body. You cant see those little wheels too well in ...
