ride this sunday.

[bomma]

yeah that gixxer was going so sloooow was a nice cruisy ride though, no stress

I am so going to need a more appropirate avatar now

lol cant blame the guy tho aye, he wrote his k7 gixxer thou off the weekend before and had just bought this one....had brand new tyres and the roads werent exactly dry...made for some interesting watching tho, the rear tyre moving around side to side

[Macstar]

No disputing that James is a warrior on the Gn (BTW: when are you due for an upgrade to two or more cylinders?), but we have to make minor mention of the fact that the Gixer in question was about 20km old... sorry

I reckon you should saw off your exhaust James, open that baby up so we can all experience the roar.

I saw a GN at the back of Bomma from a distance did not notice it was Twinkle but he was all over Bomma. Bomma had a lady all over his waist too.

Gixxer rider was not too comfortable with his new ride but give him some time and he will be riding it hard in no time.

I tried that, it just sounds like a lawnmower with no muffler
Upgrading in about.... another 70,000km or so, unless the engine dies before then.
If I get 100,000 out of it it will have worked out about $0.13-0.14/km that it has cost me everything included

Shit serious! I have had my Rf for about 18 months and have kept a record of every dollar spent (petrol, tyres, repairs, WOF REGO, insurance, estimate for depreciation etc etc).

My bike has cost me 0.32 cents/km! (However this figure included about $920 of aftermaket upgrades, take those off and I'm down to about 0.26/km).

At thrashing speeds the Rf gets a constant 10 miles to the litre / 16km and open road crusiing that improves to about 20km.

Sorry mate, but I'm prepared to pay twice as much as a GN for that extra 100hp!

[twinkle]

haha i just ride what i can afford, it will be another couple of years before i have the spare money to buy the bike i want. The biggest bonus is how easy it is to work on the GN

[klyong82]

I am sure I can arrange something to make the above statement come true so that we can accelerate your desire to own a new CBR600RRRR...I am sure Squiggle would be keeping his eyes open for an extra GN.

I spend a lot on cleaning products and polishing products. I try not to calculate the cost of my fireblade cos I know it is gonna be more than running my car and probably a scary figure from an accountants point of view.

Yeah i know, i was looking at his tyres before we left, and scenic drive is a shitter for water draining across the road mid corner.

[ehab2weelr]

[breakaway]

Leaning beyond physically possible angles,

[twinkle]

I am sure I can arrange something to make the above statement come true...

omg when i hit one of those i nearly shat myself - the bike was almost flat on the road and a stream of water appears around the corner/hairpin

scary stuff

[Squiggles]

theres always a patch of water right across the road there if im thinking of the same spot... no idea why

[motorbyclist]

it's called typical west auckland roads

actually, scenic drive is one of the best quality roads in the whole of west auckland - just so happens to be one of the most fun too
