Just a shame all the ladies were too busy eyeing up Boomer and Dovers bikes to pay it any attention

They weren't looking at the bikes mate, they were asking bjorner to talk dirty to them in svedish and begging for back stage passes to the ABBBBA reunion tour.

Well that girly long hair has to be good for something...

Yeah, I checked with Chris, and he said it was fine, and scumdog has said somewhere that it is fine as well. One of my bosses (ex-cop) remarked to me yesterday when I arrived at work, that I would have to replace it, and he would give me a ticket. Glad he isn't one anymore then.

If its passing wof fine, I can't see a problem. The digits are the original size, and not covered in any way. And I'll admit, it makes the rear look bloody nice.

The screen is obviously not standard, but still a normal shape (thank goodness - the double bubble shape immediately makes a bike look overly tall).

Weasel is just jealous, after all, its impossible for his bike to turn any more snot green than it is, with envy.

Nice one. I bought a '99 ZX-6R last friday. Awesome machine. Has way more go than my old FXR

so easy to ride.

Love the style of the bike, but i prefer the all green with jus the white racenumber boards.

Im sure we can pimp it up for you in the future.

nah, weasel has already done his best. ad nauseum...

basically, beggars can't be choosers, and when subtracting colour from the equation, this bike was way ahead in terms of choice. I still have no idea why Kawasaki decided to plaster their bikes with purple. At least the green isn't red though.

Im sure we can pimp it up for you in the future.

You keep your dirty mitts off it. Go "pimp" your R6 instead

This time tho, say no when tristan asks if you're OK

Gawd... wish there was another Wheels Day at my mum's school in the foreseeable future

Things would be very different, wouldn't they?

**LXS** · 17th January 2006, 18:36

go team Kawasaki!

Look forward to seeing it on some future coro rides.

**Deviant Esq** · 17th January 2006, 19:17

Very nice bike Grem! *Drooling*

Congrats, enjoy the rest of the summer and daylight savings!

**CPB** · 18th January 2006, 09:40

Very nice, enjoy your new wheels!

Well, a while ago, I didn't have some really nice piccies of the bike to post.

This all changed last night, when Tristan and I headed to a car park to get some of him in action. With the darkness, it was extremely difficult to get good ones of him, but at the end, we played with a bit of photography, and lucked into some very nice exposure (except I forgot to focus on the bike in one shot... :slap

Tristan had a very nervous go on my 7 (stalled it twice too

) and said things like "Its only 4000", "Mine doesn't do this". Followed by reasonable acceleration, and sudden engine braking, just as the bike was accelerating.

He got off shaking, 1 minute later he managed to utter "I want one".

Not to mention, he wasn't very happy getting back on his, and has to live with it for 10 months... sorry
