Ride to Beyond, 27 May

Slinky,

Yeah it was mate. My Black GSX1400. Why?

The later ones have a four into one not a four in to two, maybe that's why you think I was on something else?

Cheers

oh it was? i haven't really payed much attention to what it looks like front on, and i guess it just wasn't what i expected when looking in my mirrors.
thought maybe you had swapped with somone else to try out something else for the day.

Hah yeah, I have a dualsport knobby type tyre on the rear of my 100+HP trailie! Good for roosts in the gravel and certainly ups the fun on the bitumen, especially in the wet..!

I think you might mean Tony? KB name Tomo. He has a Black GSX1400 too and his has a fairing with built in lights and looks totally different from the front to mine. I didn't see you except for when I spoke with you at Whangamata and was never behind you at any stage so would have been him I would say.

He's a good bloke and nice steady rider. Used to have a Vstrom a while back.

Keep safe

Paul

I reckon we should all form a coalition. Any big bike just has a penchant for tyres and they aint cheap. If we all band together and get shares in a tyre company we might avoid the raped bank accounts.

Mind you, the biggest rapist of bank accounts has to be Helen.

yes,
but not on the ten....
was doing low 1:40s on the ten and very low 1:40s on my track bike

then i took Chris Mitchell's very well prep'd gsxr750k1 track bike for a blat... hence the 1:37

then back onto the ten for some 1:59's... couldn't ride it after sampling the above BEAST
