    I must have the fastest, non-modified FXR EVER!

    This arvo I spent the good part of 10-15 mins explaining to a cop that there was no way in hell my FXR could do 130 let alone the 138 he insisted that he clocked me at!! He was a bikie cop so I tried explaining about the single cylinder, oil cooled engine that I was riding and that I may have just reached 105 k's if I was lucky!! Apparently I must've modified it

    Cop tried using the argument that it had race numbers and race blobs (nylon) all over it so he could not believe me, even after I told him that it was raced on a go-kart track! He eventually did let me go as I had very valid arguments and a good attitude so I will probably learn from this scare!

    Excellent work Mr Popo, keep up the good work!

    Down the Ngauranga gorge flat in top lying on the tank?

    I ran my FXR150 through a flying Km once, redline in top indicating 140 ish kmh and it was doing 123km actual, lower gearing than stock though

    Ok, tbh a folden did go screaming past me just before I saw the cop and he probably just focused on the bike with race numbers on it....
