Where in Palmy would be the best place to go to get small waterproof electrical plugs so I can unplug and plug in the rear blinkers on the bike?

Indeed, cheers for that, just trying short cut the rushing about town on friday when I get the chance to get things done.

Got a new bike mate, still think you should consider it if it's awesome deal you reckon it is, they are a superb bike (for a Kawasaki) Have you taken that ST4 for a blast yet? What about the FZ1 at PT's? Get into it mate.

Was going to ask how much but by the sound of things is better left unsaid.

If the house sells I saw a couple in Freedom honda that I want,also impressed with the two SS versions they had,good to see them close up,nice riding position the ST,think they had an ST2 & ST4.

Basically comes down to comfort,silly as it sounds the GSX is comfy two up,so as long as she starts that's ok.

Yeah freedom has a few nice Ducs... I think they might have to change their name to freedom ducati haha

The ST4 is a lovely bike, there was one on the Forotten Hirghway ride..... When I am allowed i serisously think that might be the bike to park alongside the monster.. The Mrs would love the comfort, we would be able to do more then 1 hour befor haivng to have a half hour rest.. Plus the monster isn't really suited to carry what we need if we go away for a weekend.

The only thing with STmodels is the hard luggage,removing if needed as they are ungainly,but could live with if needed,and the service cost at 20 & 40000km,cambelts and other items,but if budget for no worries,oil and minor stuff I can do.

**HornetBoy** · 11th February 2008, 19:43

bah! save your money and get a gsx1400 or cb1300s and use the rest on luggage racks and bags etc/comfort mods

as you were saying the other day their as some near new cb's with a load of upgrades and extreme low kms for sale now and they are a steal .but then again ducatis have that awesome rumble and they have that uniqueness factor

Quiet in the cheap seats,Janine likes the SV 1000,(halfway there lol)even though I said maybe cramped pillion,compared to say the hornet,am impressed with the hornet size etc,the gsx1400 seems huge,and like the faired look,so bandit 1200 would be another option,silly thing is I'm very open minded regarding brand,doesn't have to be suzi,honda,yammy,or kwaka,except harley,the upcoming cb1000 could be interesting,no hurry yet.
