If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

Hey Stu, howzit mate. Hows the new rain suit doin? Only 3 more weeks till spring......WOOT!!!
I did miss me Beema.....................til a few days ago
Whats the cold kiwi? Im guessing its here in New Plymouth?
Yeah nice one, cheers for that. That confirms a few things. One is the output. From another spec sheet I saw saying 135BHP max & 118BHP something a rather. So it is actually 120BHP at the wheel, that certainly explains it. A mate was trying to tell me it would be under 100BHP and I was like "na man, that feels like at LEAST 8 Bajillion to me" he he

I like my RF. It's a good bike.
I rode a late model ('06) FZR1000 last weekend... and a ('07) Bandit 1250... They're not RF's... and they both went rather well. Enjoy the beast you have - it will serve you well, young Jedi.

Oh wicked! That looks like a bit of me, keen as mustard but not sure about the new job in terms of when & where. Just asked in that thread if you can "pay at the door" as it were.

We missed - just!
It was my first experience with the "pucker factor"
It taught me: -
1. That my arsehole can amazingly quickly develop a huge attraction for the seat and
2. Look further ahead, especially at speed and
3. Keep your speed at a level that does not exceed the visible distance ahead and
4. It's bloody hard to dodge a hawk cos you don't know which way the buggers will go
I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.
Boob--word of warning.When you're on the open road watch the speedo fairly regularly. The RF has a nasty habit of "settling" at about 125-130km/h
It feels more like 100
Ohh and DON'T be tempted to fit a wider rear tyre--the 170 is the best tyre size for the bike
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
