cowboyz does the Grand Challenge 09

[KoroJ]

Good one Lance. I certainly enjoyed the ride and found it a bit less stressful than previous ones. I didn't see any reference to wheelies on Waingaro Rd but!.......or was that not you??

..........Running out of gas is something you really don't want to do. Mental note the Transalp's range is a LOT less than KoroJ's ST1300! and the petrol stations are at the other side of Huntly .

I counldn't understand all that gesticulating James, the ST was still on half a tank!!

Well, about frigin time!

Seriously, the weather wasn't very nice but it was still fun in a crazy sort of way. Glad you & Meanie both enjoyed it. He didn't tell me he got pinged!

Next thing he'll be trying to tell you it wasn't his fault, when in reality, he was zooming away from us....at least I'm sure that's how I recall it!!??

Good write up dude, what is it about Kawasaki's and falling over... Bummer about your mirror too, well done all round eh..

[cowboyz]

connie had a long way to go.. needed a good nights sleep

Yep mint write-up Andrew and sorry to read about the Connie mishap. Still $170 is pretty reasonable for such a big arse mirror!

Must be why the bike did the ride so easy - different story for pilot.

I know it's called a rear view mirror but it's actually for looking behind you not at arses...

My OEM mirrors were good for checking out elbows. Updating them was one of the best mods I've done and since then, I've never looked back

[Hitcher]

ummm.. its kinda like.. so much happens you cant remember any of it!

Motorcycling does strange things to the space-time continuum. A Grand Challenge is no exception.

Congratulations on completing your first GC!

I think I might go for #5 next year to see how a Street Triple handles it after my last one in 2003 on the Blackbird.

If the Street Triple goes as well as a Shiver, it will be a doddle. My knees finished in the best shape ever this year.

Yes, I was disappointed to see that on arrival, you didn't resemble a famed Notre Dame bell ringer!!..........All praise to the Shiverator!
