You had some good times together, be thankful for that at least, not everyone had the same chance.
Exactly. I was lucky but a nephew living in the 'US' wrote, "If nothing else comes out of this, just know that it has made me realize that "tomorrow never comes", and that one should not put off for tomorrow what he can do today". Carpe Dieum I guess
Sorry to hear that Koro. He sounds like quite a character. I still have my Dad so I cannot relate fully, but in the last ten years I have spent probably a total of 60 hours with him, which is one of the reasons for me moving back. Got some catching up to do...
If you own one, shouldn't you already know what 1-100 time it has...
Lol I accidently grew into a female! But bikes will always be in my heart. Just loved getting out there and doing things as a kid growing up.
And after all that I will still have to sit a test in NZ to get a bike license when I move back. Jeez....
Hi, Great report on an interesting ride. Thanks - Cheers
Bummer, eh? Hope everything worked out ok.
Since your last post, another four months have passed... two thirds of the way to finally getting rid of that yellow square.
Well i laughed and laughed but yea still want more.....Awesome story
That is an economical beast. My SV1000 burns about 6L/100k and if I am really careful might get near to 5.5.
Sounds like an interesting project, keep us posted how progress goes!
Jeez - that would pee me off. I didn't pre order mine. Glad to hear the others went well. Cheers
You had an awesome ride. I got a shock when you went past and im really glad you turned around to say hi. It was good to see you again.
Sounds like an excellent day. 3hrs 20 for 300km is a good pace for the conditions.
that's quite a cool story, sounds like you were a tomboy growing up? possibly still now? anyway cool entry left me wanting more!!!
Any updates on the wee VFR? Have been looking on Yahoo Auctions Japan again and salivating over the excess of really low mileage old bikes in (largely) good nick. Cosmetics, though, as your post suggests, isn't everything.
I missed this ride but got a short one in. It appears the Avon ST-Storms are hard to beat and I will be interested in your reports. Yes Sue Bradford is a pain; "Where's it all going to end??" - unless we get involved they get their way and then we suffer.
does anyone else have a good or bad opinion of these tyres i have to admit there really good on the dry and excellent grip just not good mileage.
Indeed. But somehow the 'more traffic, more risk' is not quite adding up for me, at least for Auckland/Tokyo. The more I read these forums, the more I find it hard to believe that for the comparitively small riding population that NZ has, there are so many accidents! Cager awareness of bikes is better here, but I wonder if that is the only factor...?
