Thank god - my motorcycling career (yes as brief as it is for the smartarses) flashed before my eyes then

hey wkid,
i snapped my collar bone, about 2months ago and i was off work for 1 1/2months. tried to ride but to much pressure on it when cornering. its nothing compared to a dislocation tho. man that must of hurt. i have dislocated my finger before and that hurt a lot. hope ya get better soon.

ciao ciao

So WKID any idea what the 2004 bikes will be like ? I guess you will be getting your new bike just as all the new models will be being announced for next year.....so will it be a K4? lol

At least it was only a boarding injury! I was starting to get worried that you'd thrown your VTR (and yourself)away going over Paekakariki Hill and that we'd never see you back online!

time for some reading about bikes instead then I guess? Maybe you and Nhuahn should get together for a bitch session about being cripples? :P j/k

**wkid_one** · 16th July 2003, 12:46

Yeah - at least the bike is fine.

In process of selling - looking at a couple of race bikes while in Auckland over enxt two weeks. Aim to have everything ready (including shoulder) by the start of the summer series.

You're looking at dem ex RCM Thou's right?

As for crippled bitches, I've never had much time for them CK

. I am currently resolute to not cash in my insurance cheque for a replacement machine until after the Round Lake Taupo bicycle ride at the end of November, reasoning that I'd just fritter away all my time on the motorised cycle instead of the human propelled one (which I would). The SJ50 will have to wait until after November.

Ha ha ha - I am looking at a ZX7RR and a GSXR750....we'll see how it goes....can't ride the bloody things tho - luckily a friend of mine is over from OZ who can - but he is only short - may be interesting.

If not - I was thinking I would buy a Vespa - as according to many - this may even outstrip my riding ability.

nuttin' wrong with Gixxer 750s pal

Although their frontal impact resistance is quite limited (trust me on this one). An SRAD one like Gixxer's or an FI Y/K series like my former ride? Also, short people can ride too - you want an example Gixxer pilot: Stephane Chambon - poor beggar's got lifts in his riding boots and he can still throw that Suzuki around.

As for Ninja 7s....well make sure you get a 96 vintage 'cos it's not as if they changed after that.

Wait a minute here...are you preparing to turn in your V Twin grin for some 4 cylinder smoothness? Bluninja, talk some sense into the man, quickly!

**wkid_one** · 16th July 2003, 15:26

I figured what I woudl do - is buy the multi but play the V-Twin sounds through some headphones..best of both worlds....

Didn't your bike end up looking like a mini-moto??

Honeslty I don't know much about the Ninja others than they are usually green!

**bluninja** · 16th July 2003, 15:49

Nhuan, it would require me to talk sense in the first place before I could talk some into WKID

Nothing wrong with multis, I still have a soft spot for the big K after owning 3...ZZR600, ZL600, ZX9R and the ZX9R has a great induction howl when you open her up.

BTW you can ninjas in blue
