good stuff guys

Sorry mate - always ride like that - and I usually stand up to see over things I can't see sitting down

......that includes crests and roofs of cages with blocked windows.....

A bit

upstairs.....

I need a faster bike - stupid ZZR just looses it on uphill varying speed corners ... and I feel my gears are too tall....
......and I hate changing gears while on full throttle mid-corner

Naaah

just need to learn how to ride better........

Got around a month before I qualify for my restricted

......then I can go faster than 70kmph......can't wait:spudbooge

Hey guys,

Looks like you all had a great ride. Sorry my partner and I couldn't make it...

During Saturdays wonderful weather some cager took it upon herself to ruin our weekend and attepmt to drive right over my partner at a give way.

My partner is ok, a sore and bruised ankle... as for the FXR, it's in the shop (accident happened on K Road), I'm not sure what damage has been done to the bike, when I first spoke to my partner she said the bike was "munted" but she managed to start it up, stuck in 2nd gear and ride it to Red Baron... so I'm hoping it'll be ok and cost too much to fix.

Anyway... once the bike is up and running hopefully we'll be able to make one of the "slow" rides.

Ah shit thats no good

cars failing to stop always sucks... Hope she has a speedy recovery, and the bike too (maybe it will be a write off to get that ZXR???)

Thanks Two Smoker, Sam is doing good, she should be fine to ride again when the bike is fixed. Just waiting for 9am so I can call Red Baron and enquire about the bike... The cager said she'd pay for all the damage (lol I bet she doesn't know how much bikes can cost when it comes to repairs... I'm assuming at the least the back farings, rear light and rear indicators will need to be replaced, it might cost more if there is any damage to the engine as it was stuck in 2nd gear, and there could also be damage to the rear wheel and suspension given the collision point...).

The ZXR we were looking at buying had previous accident damage, so we were bike shopping again anyway... Sam (my partner) is now looking at those ZXR at Red Baron with the purple on them...

thanks again

Shame I couldn't make it, 9.30 Sunday is a tad early for me. especially after a few wines on Sat night. We were heading north up 16 when some of you were returning. I don't don't know if it was a KB'er, but the guy on the white sports bike that overtook a truck north of Tauhoa should really look to see if the way is clear first, he nearly took out Pixie.

**R6_kid:Me** · 27th June 2005, 09:49

dont think that was one of us... i dont remember a white bike. Still not good to hear. Might see you next time lou?

Ask him how he got his name "Sixpackback". You wont believe it when he tells you the story.

**v.ros`** · 27th June 2005, 11:24

**SixPackBack** · 27th June 2005, 11:25

ok ok, i lived in queensland for quite some time and one of my work mates was going thru a messy divorce. he bitched and moaned about the lack of sex so much i started teasing him about my wife, who at the time would have had someone hanging out of her 24/7. Hence the name sixpackback, the muscles developed when shagging to much.
