    The other purchaser of the new Blade was definitely NOT Steve...

    They dont last very long - look what 300ks does to them - they fall to bits. Typical Honda!

I've done a few but its so well balanced its reluctant to lift. practice practice as they say. Here are the happy chappies.
    ps: WT- I'll bring it in this week to WMC and introduce myself to you.[IMG]

    Suppose that will be a write-off with all the tupperware trashed?
    I read somewhere that the average life of a sport bike in California was six weeks from out-of-the-crate to write-off. Wonder how NZ is doing on that score?
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    OOOUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHH - that must have been a sad day.

    Why are all the new CBR's only appearing in red??? Surely we are getting some of the others colours as well.

    When the 954 came out - I tried to move mountains to get the silver and black one - however Honda NZ weren't able to import ANY this colour at the time.

    Feck! Is that one of ours, like one of the new Wgtn ones?

    Hope the rider is okay... looks like the pic has been taken in his or her driveway so I'd have to presume they're alright.

    Not one of yours - an Auckland one - lowsided in gravel coming off the Coroglen bridge - rider OK.

    Hi there Harry. And welcome to the site. See you on the hill some time. I presume Mark etc will still let you ride with them??? (the "Harry" is a bit of a giveaway!!!)

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    Ist one arrived at AMPS today. Gorgeous, especially the new swing arm, a work of art.
    But how much smaller are these hyperbikes going to get?

    By all accounts, the ZX10R is smaller than the rest!
