Had a few teething problems, electrics, back brakes, electrics, voltage regulator catching fire, electrics.... 10 tons of solder and insul tape later its pretty much good to go. Love it!

Could be down Palmy way over easter, hope some of you lot are around so we can go for a blat!

A few problems ?

Nothing major, just some dodgy wiring additions and then the damn voltage regulator. I kept taping things off and it wasn't until I stopped being lazy and got the multimeter and soldering iron out that the problems stopped. Back brakes just needed new master cylinder seals, a giggle to fit when you've never worked with brakes before but all good. The voltage regulator is still poked but putting out just enough to keep the bike running so all good.

I seem to remember that last track day I was not going over to ride on the track. I was going over to watch dhunt. I might go do the camera thing anyway unless I can sell my body for the entrance fee between now and then.

Well done Cowboyz, what a beautiful looking bike! You passed me opposite direction yesterday and it sounded great as well! I can't wait to see it up close. Hope your money tree recovers soon!

**cowboyz** · 11th February 2007, 22:31

where bouts was that? Didnt even see ya. If I did I would have chased you down.

**86GSXR** · 11th February 2007, 23:18

Just south of Shannon, I was in my petrol Terrano. Speaking of money trees, that thing requires one of it's own for the amount of fuel it guzzles!

And I have a feeling that even if I'd been on my bike, you wouldn't have any difficulty chasing me down on that baby

I was just starting getting used to the weight of the bike then. That was fun.

Took Mrs Cowboyz out on it last night. She loved it just as much as I do. Looks like we have a keeper.

**Omega1** · 12th February 2007, 07:00

Well Done, ZX9's are awesome.
