and the 4th child is born!

Mark is proud to announce the arrival of baby #4

Weighing in at approx. 170kgs, '03 GSXR1000 (WMC ex demo) was delivered at lunctime today to it's doting father.

It's just a pity that Mark fecked up and left the disk lock on when leaving work aye!

Never mind, it's only money.

Look forward to seeing and meeting all you Wellingtonions in the coming months, and I'll be getting around the lower North Island a bit too so will be happy to catch up with any other listers.

If I could figure out how to post an image properly I'd post one, but I failed to get an image of my helmet up last night and don't want to stuff up the system. But you all know what a silver GSXR1000 looks like anyway right?

Well done on both counts, arrival number four and forgetting about the disk lock.

Check the disk as it may be warped, happened to me.

It's a Two Brothers Racing C Series Aluminium... whatever that means

Remembering it was the demo bike, the can was on it already

Must sound good. How many km's has it done.

I have to admit the sound is a bit of a let down after my VTR1000 with carbon Leo Vinci race pipes... but this is something else again performance wise

1173Km on the clock as it rests in the garage, nicely tucked up for it's sleep

nice one markNZ. my front guard got a chunk out of it too at about 1000kms after a seagull decided to fly into my front wheel. at least the first damage is out of the way now. enjoy the bike, it's a really nice ride.

Way to go mate. I hear the silver is the fastest colour of them all.

Nice bike Mark good luck to you and ya girl. There is a massive performance gain over your vtr1000f compared to that, but the gixxer be tons more fun, BTW go to www.gixxer.com there is tons of info and details about gsxr there, me and 750y are members
