    Woz wrong wiv a kick start. Especially on a two smoker. Electric starts are for wimps and pussies (granted some can't help it , cos the blurdy manufacturers don't fit proper kick starts)

    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)

    Sounds like a group of people I used to know OAB. Bloody guys used to get their ideas from watching too much TV. I'e once been asked if bikers in the US do have gangs that use bikes to fight like on "Torque"
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    lurve the kick start on a 2stroke. they go together like an exploded piston ring in a barrell.

    but after buying a larger bike I am quite happy that it doesnt attempt to put a kickstart on it

    oh wait. that was me.
    I only posted this because of the global economic crisis

Used to race it he said, was pretty quick but then he put a wiring loom from a Ninja 900 into it and it would go over 270km/h and destroy Duke 900's at Ruapuna. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, so said my old 'wow' line, and excused myself.

    BTW, I have nothing against Ninja's at all, love the ZXR7RR.
    roflmao, thats a brilliant one. sure he didnt get mixed up and he actually put the 900 engine in the 400 frame (probably equally as retarded)

    Short version of the story. I did question the wiring loom part, he comfirmed it. I asked if he changed the gearing, his reply was no, everything else is std, just changed the wiring loom. Riigghht.

    Actually if you wanted to, drop a wiring loom from say a late model BMW 7 series. You'll get cruise control ,parking sonar, heated massaging seat, traction control, anti-lock brakes, sat nav, 16 speaker sond system, etc. Don't go for the i-drive option though, too confusing to use when riding.

    Ninja? Never heard of 'em
    I get "Big bike for a little girl"
    I say " Well, maybe when i grow up, I'll fit it"
    I must admit, i do get " How fast does it go?"
    I still don't know the answer to that, but I know that 175 with out a fairing is bloody hard work
    It's all about me!!!
    I'm the same old trailer trash in new shoes...

    Even better, drop in a wiring loom from a Cessna. Then it'll fly.
