I use Meguiar's canuba wax and i'm pretty happy with that so... Thanks for the suggestion though.

Yes I think so..

Some fella on the internet thought these bikes were bloody quick. Can't be surely. The power would go to the head.http://www.amadirectlink.com/riding/reviews/2008/ZX14

Nice for some Al!

After your comment on my front end the other day, I've spent some time reading (dangerous thing), but found the issue and solution.
I've just been for a test ride after fiddling with the front and rear and I've achieved a major improvement.
The arse end is much more comfortable and planted! The front has improved a little, but I need new springs to get rid of that harsh feel. I understand Triumph fitted my bike with progressive springs (cope with wheelies), but they're too light up top (.8) and way too heavy down low (1.25)

! Constant springs of .9-1.0 should be the go!

I got my horn working properly too, so I got to try that out as I passed cowboyz place.

Hey cowboyz, how's it going?

Have a great Xmas all!!!

Nice hunting Al, amazing what a few tweaks will do eh. I must try and firm up the front end on the Tiger, it's an art form alright!

Are you going on the Castle Point ride? Again I meant to come 'round and see you two the other night but again got way laid, might pop by soon if I don't see you on the CP ride on sunday.

I won't be going to the boxing day races as I still haven't found time to sort out my front tyre. Unless there are bike shops opening today, which I doubt, then I won't be going.

I have plenty of front tyres in my shed if you are in need of one. you can have one at the price I paid for them ($0 - $40) depending on tyre. I cant pm so fire me a text on 027 3250353 if you want something. these tyres will see you through the summer at least

If you're still keen to go and not scared to be pillion, I'm leaving about 9ish.
