Whangamata Ride on Sunday 7th Oct

[Macstar]

Well wait till the Fireblade comes back and we'll drag...woohooo

Hopefully I won't have moved overseas by then (at the rate your Honda is coming along...)

Dont you worry it will be back before you leave. I reckon I will be faster since the Fireblade is 40kg's lighter and I am probably 30kg's lighter than you.

Sorry, one more post: Awesome to hear you got your new bike! How you can put it away for 3-4 weeks I don't know...?! It's criminal how people can put themselves through such torment in the name of uni.

It's not that bad - I know what I'm in for, so I really have someting to look forward to and it gives me a chance to sort out a few minor issues -

Put on scott oiler, check out gunged up side-stand switch that gave some problems on day one, [bloody idiot interlock switches!!!] get battery checked (may be connected to switch issue) AND sort out insurance - including disputes tribunal hearing to finally iron out the issues from my April crash on the bandit...if I'm lucky I'll come out with my $500 excess intact.

Other than those things, the bike was eeeeexxxcellent:
Gentle as a pussycat if you please or alarmingly rapid if you let those BIG carbys take a gulp.

Just don't want to ride without insurance (sensible I believe), and Mrs Phurrball is best appeased to ensure peace and harmony -

she didn't want me to have a 'big' bike until I'm done with my degree, so I'm doing OK to have wangled one now It took a lot of convincing to get to this point. Just need to get her out on her little VTR too so she gets reacquainted with riding again and how fun it is

(She isn't as evil as some of you might assume - she's just trying to motivate me to finish my studies, and thinks I'm a dangerous loon. I'm sure many males fall into the latter category in the eyes of their partner no matter how they are in objective reality - it just means they care and don't want us maimed )
