so what ended up happening to the Virago? is it completely screwed? and yes, with your riding style, you would give almost everyone the learn (well.. the people that have replied to this thread so far) - thinking back to leaving momentum's place, I'm accelerating away, and you go flying past me at twice my speed

It's in my gargre at the moment. STill riding it to work still gonna keep it else Lias would kick my ass. it's just gonna be a pillion bike till my dad gets back from the states when I will be 'loaning' it to him except for when taking passengers.

And the Virago is extreamly slow compared to the likes of a CBR1000.

that sounds like a plan.. so.. who's gonna be the 'directions lisason officer'? I only know the boring way AKA SH1..

Me and Quasievil were talking about this yesterday. I'd say that you would get a decent amount of people on a Ham's ride now. Down through Mangakino / Whakamaru and back up old Taupo Rd or something... anyone wanna lend me a road bike?!

Dunno where those roads/areas are, but yeah, let me know when it is happening, and I will be there..

i second the fewer straight roads motion coz my bike only just made 110 last weekend on the way to ngaruawahia...loves corners though...unless it's wet, even just cruising around town is all good for me seeing as legally us learners aren't supposed to top 70

hey zero where and how much did your new muffler cost?...i think mine just needs a blow torch to crispn all the carbon inside then knock it out with a hammer or something but i dont' have a blow torch or know anyone who does...just curious anyways

110 sounds a bit slow for a KR, you might need to get it seen to. I ride like a little old lady, so I haven't maxed mine out yet, but it will get to 110 in 4th without much trouble (at which point the wildly inaccurate speedo is reading 140)

**FzerozeroT** · 22nd May 2006, 17:36

is that the old or new shape KR? mine was the new shape and I had to gear it up because it just bounced of the limiter in 6th (~150ish)

I sometimes will go on rides... thinking of putting on a big bbq ride some day soon... need to find a place to wheelie, maybe some tutors... if anyone saw my pathetic attempts on the GSXR yesterday, maybe white trash, loose bruce, or cowpoos, or someone doing a guest spot.

When I do it, I'll sort it out all mint.

Who'd be keen??

Why import one from Auckland when you have your own wheelie god right in town. Aye Darrel?
