[BIGBOSSMAN]

Thanks to Raj for that fucking awesome display of recovering from a slide into the ditch! Twas the highlight of the trip - only because you came out on top!

Raj, You didn't break anything, did you??? !!!

[Back Fire]

Before back fire etc get here (they will have a field day)... I am not fast... really... Graham... yeah mate, didn't want to leave you behind, what with you following our little "detour", and you being the only one knowing about the pub

the only time you ever go fast is too the pie shop...

and next ride keep up with us!... bloody cheek to hassle me and N4CR for going the 'better' way

Nice work dude, If you were shitting yourself on the inside, it actually didnt show. I was behind you and it wasnt until the last minute, and the spray of gravel that I realised you wern't actually just pulling over.

[Cr1MiNaL]

yea luckylegs I def wasnt pullin ova aye just realised tht we were turning last minute .. as i was lookin in my rear mirror... but was a bit too late... luckily the mud didnt give way under me and thank god for the bikes awesome thottle response and balance... ma old bike wuda spun out for sua... god bless the R6.

Raj.

I think you should let me ride the R6.. I need to experience this awesome throttle response as my bike certainly doesn't have it!

[Cr1MiNaL]

NEGATIVE ! I wuda, but just got her insured with kiwibike n the brokers told me that if anyone rode it n it binned I wouldnt get paid 1 dollar even n the other dude would get charged for careless driving most likely. U want a pillon ride lol!

[McJim]

So is there no truth in the rumour that Yamaha have "dummed down" the throttle response (I heard you give it a twist and there's a little delay as if to say "Are you sure that's what you want to do?" before the throttle electronically opens).

Or is that the new R1?

[Winter]

what was the price from kiwibike in the end?

[Cr1MiNaL]

Harro Jimmy !

No thats not the case with the new R6's u just hav to touch the throttle n it leaps almost throwin a rookie like me off if im not crowched up on the tank... thats y im weary arnd corners too if im in a lower gear.... that I think is for the 07 R1's maybe coz of their huge bhp rating... the second highest in the litre category. even in 6th gear as soon as i nudge the throttle she leaps, u dont even need a twist.... on the ride we just had i hadnt even opened her 1/5 th of the way n was already exceeding 190 ...

Cheers Raj. (ps any more gatherings u organising soon? was nice).

$82 monthly or $20.5 weekely or $920 yearly all up one payment. That was with my 2 years no claims bonus and the tripple immobilisers that the bike has. my security cams meant nuthin to them.

I guess thats not bad considering your a youngen with a stupidly powerful bike.

[El Dopa]

Arse.

Looks like I missed a good one.

Lousy domestic brownie points accumulation....

When's the next one Jamie?
