Riverhead/Coatesville on the North Shore has some mean as country bends... anyone keen for riding up that way? Or is everyone here from the other side?

I'm in Greenhithe. Much more fun to be had slightly further afield. Send me your cellphone number in a PM and I'll let you know next time my TRX feels like cracking open a can of whoop-ass.

aren't you selling that bike? might pay to take it easy...

hard to sell when it's buggered or impounded

You sold the NC30 and bought a GSXR750?

**racefactory** · 16th April 2010, 21:54

I've had a ZXR250 and another bike within this space of time too yeah. Just making a few bucks that's all. Couldn't make coro this morning so went up to riverhead today... great time, would be even better with someone else though. How did coro go?

Pretty good, turned into a beautiful day in the end.

really? I pretty distinctly remember you bailing out on motorcycles because it was costing too much what with all the buying and selling at questionable margins....

I asked him why he was selling the VFR when I checked it out and got told his dad was making him sell it because he couldn't get insurance for it given no full license??

**motorbyclist** · 21st April 2010, 23:58

really? he had his learners over a year ago now didn't he? surely the full is coming up soon if not already.... or is this a jafa type time scale to get a licence?

if i'm not mistaken, that black viffer is and always will be a lemon unless someone actually takes a reasoned money-in-a-hole approach to fixing it.

Well, looks like my decision to buy the bike out of the 2 that had higher kms but much clearer history was a good one then
