GWAN YA KNOW YA WANNA.

Sorry to tell you I'm not interested in a swap as tempting as the offer is.

I'm always open to offers if you want to buy tho.

God knows, and he ain't telling. It was suppose to be 15th then I got an email saying delayed to 18th but the search on the shipping number still says 15th so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If it's the 18th I don't think I'll have it for christmas which will really piss me off, if it's the 15th I may get it before christmas but it'll still be close. It's the one we wanted to go down to taupo on for Christmas.

Darn good comeback my man

When the day comes Im not plowing every spare penny into a race bike (or two) Ill be lookin to buy one for certain.
The blue looks darned stunning.
Although I think Ill go for a silver one--sounds silly but silver looks sorta copish and so for a minlisecond the cagers might see ya.

DAMN thats a pretty bike! I know you will ove riding that, I got to sit on one a while ago and that was enough to make me start thinking about one. Enjoy

Thanks for all the interest and compliments and advice everyone. MAF inspections booked for 8.30am Monday, all being well the bike is to be delivered to me that afternoon. Monday night will be uncrating and getting it together and running, Tuesday morning probably attempt to get testing, certifications and registrations done. Fingers and toes crossed. After all that the fun starts.
Keep you posted.

Well I've actually seen and touched it. I went out to Mangere this morning for the MAF inspection and everything looks in order. Damn it's a magnificent looking machine. Included is a very cool looking helmet, too small for my big head but it should fit my partners boys, tank bag and other soft luggage, the usual hard panniers, a custom cover and a larger windshield. It's suppose to be delivered to me here at home this afternoon some time, can't wait. Let the fun begin.

YOU KNOW THEY CHARGE YOU BY THE KILO WHEN YOU BRING IN A BIKE , WHY DIDNT YOU BRING IN 2 GOOD ONES LIKE AN R1 AND A GIXXER , IT WOULDA COST YOU LESS IN FREIGHT , AND THEN YOU COULD SELL ONE TO PAY EXPENSES AND STILL HAVE A MUCH BETTER BIKE THAN THE ONE YOU IMPORTED

I guess if i was a lonely nigel with no mates and only wanted to go fast and not far then what you suggest might be a good idea but since none of the above apply in my case I believe my choice of bike to be one of the best. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Oh by the way, if you delve a little deeper you'll find I am bringing in more than one bike but still nothing you would approve of I'm sure.
