    I guess your post means that you got home safely Tim?

    It was a pleasure doing business with you.

    I hope you get a great ride out of it but a word of warning ... don't drop the bike or Mrs Oakie will be after you.

    See you on the road sometime.

    Yep made it home, took me a while as once I was riding I didn't want to get off. Was great dealing you and Mrs Oakie and now I have another good reason not to do any bike dropping, hope it never happens.
    Here's hoping for a fine weekend, think my gas bill is about to increase.

    On ya mate, nice bike and sounds like a good deal.

    get a VTR250 like this one: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-226626361.htm.


    i'd have one in a flash, and i've had some rather larger bikes, and an RS250.

    How much for the GN?
