GSXR 250R change of plans

I'll get you to take out life insurance on me first, that way you can get paid out at the same time... Should be enough for a few beers while you watch the reruns..

Get yourself a GoPro (or similar) and film yourself doing some 250kmh+ lane splitting on Auckland motorways, just like GhostRider. Bonus points if you do it high on meth.

Double extra bonus points if you do it while high on meths

Do I get extra points for drinking it, pouring it in the tank and running it hard...

Anyway going to do the Silver Prorider and wait 6-9 months on the 250 before I think on riding the other. Hopefully find a bit of track time to hone the skills (if I have them) as well.

If you really purchased a gsxr1000 I doubt it will stay in the garage for a week let alone 6 months.

[The Little Gixxer]

I have 6 weeks before it arrives, let alone get in vinned and regoed. So yes it will be more than a week at least in that time I will do what I can. We shall see how much I get done. True it may be less than the 6 months but at least I can do the courses before then.

Quick question:

Some guy at the petrol station told me the valves at the top of my front forks are for adjusting my fork pressure to stop nose diving I assume this is when you pull too hard on the front brakes or something like that). Is this true? If so are the air pumpable as he said and what would you do with them ie pressure settings etc...

I'd be very worried if your forks didn't dive under braking, as it's what they're designed to do. Most bikes have adjustable forks, but it's not something that you should be fucking around with. Find someone who knows what they're doing, and get them to set it up for you.

My forks work fine and unless I was going on to a track I very much doubt they need any work done to them. That answers my question though.
