Pictures or it didn't happen...

Bit hard to find a camera with a shutter speed able to catch that particular moment of spectacular wheelie between the previous moment of cornering and subsequent moment of crashing, but it was there, I'm sure of it

I have sorted the fueling on the ZZR. Changed the filter and swapped the 135 main jets for 138s

She's trundling along nicely, will take the long way to Massey via Ashurst today (It's not charging the battery through town, so awesome excuse to ride it on the open road)
Need to balance front tyre, the inner brake pistons on the RHS caliper are getting sticky, so I'll whip it off and clean them up, or just throw one of my spares on.

When the charging issue is fixed I'll remove the centre stand, you can see it's fouling with the exhaust and hanging low, scraped it at the round about near Gull this morning

Those Pilot Powers roll along nicer than the IRC crap and it feels more stable and tips in very nice.

Bogan magicked my bike today, it works now.
Goes uber well when it's at full operating temp, heaps more torque for in town riding and no hesitation.
Will rip that stupid centre stand off in the morning

Quick Skyline. I'd like to see what the company is doing t5o them under the hood though, the standard model would take a very long time to reel a Hardabuser in.

I certainly wouldn't turn one down.

Got more riding in today, played with tyre pressures, 41 rear and 36 front feels very nice.
