Take care out there on them roads.

I would if I could find that frikk'n USB cable connector for my camera!

Instead I have been on ebay/'tardme buying up all sorts of useless and essential bits for my little ol'Hornet!

I need to take shots of my muddy, road-rashed gear as well to remind us all that ATGATT means 'zactly that! And oh yeah ... the $500 Navman I bought off Yamaha64Life is toast now as well

I was just getting to know it - oh well, down to E-town to buy another one!

And W00t! I just got word from Newmanz that my two minimoto pocket bikes are ready for me to pick up!

I've had enough of binning thank you very much! We need to start up the club of Noobs that have reformed through binning! Actually I hope I just don't have this pathological desire to keep tarting and working on my rides all the time and subconsciously, I'm looking for ways to do so

I should take up bike racing.

Ooh nasty - unlucky that, I remember doing around that speed on Daisy (RZ250) but this was at night and no-one else on the moronway. I think the mufti must have felt my glee and joy riding along my two-stroker smoker, he just flew past and sat level with me with his lights going and did the ol'finger point down and slow down!

I tucked in behind him and did the legal 100 all the way to the bright lights of Dorkland city

Actually, he left me behind!

But yeah, that sucks - need to keep those 200 pingers so you can get that detector you wanted! As for the little ol'GPS, it was tucked in my tank bag under the map cover top - when I went for the lowside, the bag rolled off and slid on it .. top down and poor little ol'GPS sucked the big kumara! So good however, I will get another one from E-town in Newmarket!

Nasty things those corners. Saved by the local flora again! We're gonna have to call you Bonnie Prince gijoe.

What sort of tyres are you running on the Hornet?

I think your scottish accent is getting stronger the longer you stay on KB!

Yes, I've always been communing with nature, seems I'm forever attracted by it

The tyres are still the Diablos, nuffink no'wrong wiv'em. Just me being maximus plonkus gittus again! I mean, really - riding in the night, wind and rain on slippery roads with the bonus of gravel! And the school holidays coming up ... so I could really do more riding!

Goal : Get little ol'Hornet fixed up in a week so I can go riding! That and Daisy as well! Just have to ensure my left hand is good to go so I can change gears ( otherwise I may have to do a DMNTD and improvise so to speak!

)

I think you should buy Skelstar's Hornet 919. It's already blinged a bit - just take a nudge to get it blinged to your level J.

Yep I can sypathise with ya. About 1.5months back I was heading through that same stretch of road just after those twisties, same deal, night, wet road etc on the GSXR. Came around a long right hander, 95kph-100kph max in 6th gear with sweet bugger all throttle on and the rear lit up and came completely around on me...supermotard drift style, and it took a little bit of manhandling to get it to behave! That said...very controllable bike the GSXR.

So I can understand how quick and easily it happens. Hope you are ok, and get the wheels tidied up ASAP!
