he's sooo dreamy too chick!!!

and good stuff with your new toy!!!!

thanks poos... think Sean is kinda scared I might become faster than him, so I decided to go with a 250... you now dont want him to have too much performance anxiety.

I remember considering it and people telling me "You'll grow out of it in a fortnight...maybe sooner."

Mind you - I have no bike any more

Yea... I got told by my BHST instructor that he would bet that in 6 months I would be sick of the GN, I laughed, I guess he was right after all!

What happens is the person who buys the cheap transport quickly becomes an enthusiast. For all its good points, the GN is not an enthusiast's ride.

You'll have fun with that Bandit Lissa.

Thanks Jim2. GN's are good communter bikes, but just no fun riding around the rapa, esp with all the other rapa riders. I think I have done the right thing, and will prob keep the Bandit for quite a while, not in a hurry so much to go up CC's now.

Ouch baby, very ouch.

Even after I said you could ride my thou

On a serious note tho, once the FZR400 is sorted, you might want to have a thrash on that. I just need to get off my chuff and chuck the new stearing head bearings in it.
