    My New Ride

    A couple of snaps of my new 2008 YZF R1 (6000kms $13k), My riding enthusiasm has been reborn, it was near terminally dead as I was loosing interest real fast with the KTM it was a good bike but not for me. The R1 is absolutely thrilling to ride and Im looking for any excuse to get on the beast.........just like the old days, to the point where I rode it for two hours in the pissing rain on Saturday.

    Next up is to get the suspension tuned in a bit and get some decent rubber for a trackday or two.

    My overall impression of the bike thus far is simply outstanding.




    also decided to upgrade my leathers, wearing the new "EDGE" jacket and "ESTREMOS" Pants
    If anyone wants a deal on 8 month old Vengeance and Estremos let me know

    Cats land on their feet. Toast lands jamside down.
    A cat glued to some jam toast will hover in quantum indecision


    Curiosity was framed; ignorance killed the cat

    Fix a computer and it'll break tomorrow.
    Teach its owner to fix it and it'll break in some way you've never seen before.

    Nice looking ride. You're much more attractive in leather than in your profile pictures on Adultmatchmaker.com would suggest.
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    It really did look very unloved. Specially as it was next to the R1 that the whole crowd wanted to look at. Gixxer 4 ever
