Oh yeah baby! W00t! Glad to hear you got it finally - can't wait till you post piccies, and of course, if you need a hand to spec it up or check it out ... any excuse for a ride!

And big ups to Discotex for doing the hard yards!

It was the hard km's to begin with. The previous owner had the preload on the read cranked up to one click off max. A quick toddle with the toolkit and my back was saved.

Other than some long straight boring roads (for the car and trailor's benefit) I had a fun ride home. The wee Hornet is almost as quick as my ZXR up to 100km/h. After that the sail effect really slows you down. A number of times I went to duck behind the fairing only to remember there wasn't one.

It's exaust sounds mean and she handles great. I didn't really want to get off at the end of the day even though my butt was numb.
