The Aftermath

[aff-man]

Mmmmmmmm,


All good suggestions. I reckon money is going to be the big thing, I really will be riding on a tight budget so I need max smiles per buck. ALso have lost my no claims bonus so can't afford to bin anything too pricey. I'll keep you all posted.

Saying that I am still waiting for AMi to finally come through, though I believe there are no remaining issue outstanding.

How about a complete change of orientation and buying a cruiser? Do you think that could work, I am 37 today so maybe I should take it easier.

I say go check out that streetfightered gixxer at Mt eden. For about that they also have a YZF 750SP if you like pink.

Result I was fine but the bike is a bit fucked.

Arrrghhh! Glad your ok mate!

Maybe that accident did more damage than you first thought wheelie man? Have you considered getting a brain scan?

Just got the letter from Ami today asking me to agree to a pay out of 18k - $900 excess i.e. $17.1k. Seems fair.

Have a look at a VMax sort of inbetween a sport and cruiser with enough tourque to satisfy....

Na go the Goldwing, Royale star/ Venture / Nomad way - comfort plus. I'm biased these days not that one would guess it.

Golly , you guys spend a lot on your wheels. Must be nice to be rich and able to afford such things. [Where's the envy smiley ? ]Never spent more than $3K on any vehicle in my life

Anyway, glad it's all worked out good for you.

Think about the cruiser thing, I'm looking more and more interestedly at them, having in the past always considered them beyond the pale.

I did that about 5 years ago, as I was hooning a bit much and worried about the consequences. Plus a mate with a cruiser who'd previously had bikes like GSXRs reckoned it was a more relaxing ride. So, I took a couple for a test ride.
Nup - not for me. The ride position's all wrong, for a start - curves your spine the wrong way, and you can't effectively take your weight off over bumps using your legs, as the pegs are too far forward.

A better was to go is a naked (or 'standard') bike, which has a more natural seating position, with bars in about the right place, pegs not too close to the seat, etc.

But I stuck with sport-tourers, and have had three since my wee look into cruisers.

Can't complain about that! Glad to hear it's been sorted finally.

Well I went to see 2 bikes one outside cambridge the zxr 750 and the other a zl1000 in Tauranga. SO that was a 500k round trip. The Zxr was a dog! The brakes were more than dangerous! The fairings were made of grp (racer farings) and the engine was rough as guts. This bike was described by the owner as being in amazingly good condition. What a wanker.

The zl 1000 in Tauranga was described to me as being a 9 out of 10 by the owner and with 15k onthe clock. In acutality the clock was 115k, the petrol tank leaked, the forks leaked oil, you had to fiddle with some dody connection by the carbs to get it started, the clocks were bent and there was a loose electrical connection in the kill switch, was a nice bike once, now... a dog!

There are some dishonest people out there folks and they are selling bikes!!!

Now Ming, why didn't you say you were selling the ceebee. I'll text you.
