TBH A license looser I can see and understand fully why D likes popping wheelies on it.....actually halfway through the wee strop we swapped bikes and he gave me a demo of making kids drag their jaw on the ground by lofting a huge one past a group

Nice,should set him loose on the old TL and see how he fares,still one of the few bikes locally anyway to do the Waitaki bridge end to end on the back wheel.Was thinking of heading up to CH-CH for a weekend away in the next few weeks,should meet up with you guys, DnG and a few others for a boozy night.

I'm still waiting for a play on your TL..each time you've offered at rallies I've been under the influence of one thing or another

it was way after you'd already been sprung for fracturing the handle bar and a long time after you'd been seen dispatching cars at intersections by the same means
That was just after you'd got back from the Hokinui Rally 2008

Just woundering, you guys with the SV's... do you like the TL? cos to be honest the TL has the 'horn' factor to me the SV is fugley, but... more refined, newer easer to ride. What is it that spins the wheels of the SV rider?

Yeah perceived value for money was a large factor, The fact that I could get a bike only a few years old with 6000k on the clock in mint condition for only a shade more than I paid for my 10 year old blackbird with 70000ks on it was a bonus.

As for the TL, It's a beast for sure but I don't actually like the rounded bulbous fairings, looks abit like a naked eye abuser, or a suzuki vtr 1000.

Farkin libertiesNever compare it to a bloody VTRGranted there rounded but then so is the Mrs.Fwiw i was offered an SV as a straight swap for my old girl,made sense to do it but after owning the thing for a decade and spending so much $ on it (which doesnt make sense) i declined.

Good call on the trade, can tell a lot of time and money has gone in to the TL, looks great.

Cheers,yep its been spoilt over the years for sure.About to fit a set of GSXR forks,mainly for the radial calipers to be honest,currently have 6 pots of a Busa and there rubbish,would have been better to have kept the oem 4 pots with decent lines.

you would never have forgiven yourself!
I couldn't sell mine, It would be like giving up a child for adoption.
