    Gixxer4Ever's Gixxer! :D

    Well Well Well...
    I RODE THE GIXXER!!

    Upon nearly seating myself on the Kwaka 2-fidddy Dad (Gixer 4 ever) made a brief comment asking if i wanted to take the gixxer to school instead.
    Turns out he was being serious
    Well as you can probably guess it didnt take me all that long to get inside and swap sets of keys.
    An extremely good start to a great day.
    Ride in to town went extremely well (about a half hour) and return trip was just as great:.
    All i want now is to own one!

    Only regrets are that it will be quite some time before i can actually ride one um.. legally..., so it's back to the 250

    ohwell, It'll be 4 wheels tomorrow, wish me luck for my full cage license.

    P.S. MSTRS, I wonder if hXc has got any ideas from this? Hmmm.....

    cool!
    its good fun isn't it


    about 10 years ago, when i was riding my gsxr250,
    a riding m8 of mine offered me the keys to his 1986 gsxr750
    w00t! i was well stoked
    took it out for about 30min, had a ball
    Never will i forget the feeling!!

    don't despair,
    the full licence will come soon
    then there is no looking back.

    Allan.

    The story behind this is a good one. 3 months ago the school, SP (Speights_Bud ) is at decided to join a work experience thingy. One day a week at work of your choice. 7th formers only.SP wanted to work at a specific engineering shop in Napier. Asked the lady who is paid to organise the work to call them This lady will be referred to as SB from here in. (silly Bitch ) SB never called them. 2 months went by and SB got a heavy engineering job sorted for SP. Not what he wanted. A good job I am sure but SP has driven tractors and welded big steel etc for me. So after that he went to the engineering company and asked to see the boss and introduced himself and told them what he wanted. They called the SB from the school and she in turn called SP and the job was on. ( was a lot longer than this but who wants to read that much )
    So anyone motivated enough to go after what they wanted and gets it, deserves some good stuff in life.
    Good on you SP.
    Might not happen again

    Welcome to the darkside SB, hope you brought a change of clothes cause you're gonna be here for a while.....

    addictive innit? right up there with tobacco and alcohol, just wait for the government to figure it out and start taxing GSXR's!
    It's just one of those days, where you don't wanna wake up,
    everything is fucked, everybody sucks,
    You don't really know why but you wanna justify ripping someone's head off

    The driveway wasn't too bad actually, ya get a bit used to going up and down it regularly expecting the front wheel to dissapear into a pothole or similar...

    I'm gonna miss the not having to change down to overtake cages , the gixxer's distinct buzzing, the paintwork sparkling in the student carpark casting shadows over the likes of scooters and gn250's, and let's not forget the awesomely Chicken-strip free pre-thrashed tyre that all the students and teachers admired so much...

    arrhhh Anyone wanna swap an 87' GPX250 for a GXSR250?
    I think i should go to bed, i've got alot of dreaming to do...

    Congrats mate. Good feelings?
    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

    Good luck on the full. Although I doubt that you will need any - don't think luck has anything to do with it. Skillz lad
    hXc 'mentioned' your exploits & stated that the thought of getting on the 1100 causes testicular retraction & premature greying, as well as tachychardia. He's a sensible lad
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    That's why I ride the smaller 750 John. So I can putt along and enjoy the ride. You keen on the Elephant run? I am taking the slower riders early. Good ride for hXc and younatart. I will stick to the 90-100km speed.
