I hear Bandit rider has a friend that brought the last one at AFC I think i saw him coming towards me two up on the week end, saw another traveling over the Kiamais on Saturday, they look farkin huge coming towards you

The other 2 Connies went for a quiet ride to Taihape to meet up with my old man who'd come through the Naper-Taihape on his GS. The old lady didn't enjoy the Napier-Taihape but she did enjoy a brief dub on the 14.

The old man enjoyed the Concours too much - I couldn't get it off him and was stuck two-up on his tractor...

If the gs is a tractor whats the concours the hummer equivalent.Saw a few huge tourers on the toy run here,makes some of the bikes look real small.

FYI: Concours is spelt incorrectly - something the Japs lost in translation. It should be spelt Concord....

Yeah: imposing, agressive, awesome, awe-inspiring (esp for 600 riders). Not to mention looking like they're doing 100mph while standing still etc etc.

Yep not too shabby,a mate has a zx14 he bought about 2-3 mths before the concours was released,that looks nice in blue,was a bit annoyed he didn't wait but likes the zx,has a zzr1100? as well but it shit itself at 70000km,prob with no3 cylinder I think,put another motor in and still takes it out.Pissed me off as I would have looked at it when I was buying,said would've sold it for $3500 ono.

Cool if ya get pinged doing 130 mph you tell mr police that your only doing 30 mph as it looks like you're doing the ton.Agree with most parts,silver shows it to best advantage.
