400km? Barely a warmup, grandma.

Wow back up buddy no grandma bit involved just yet, (my kids are scared genetic reproduction skipped them but will pick up their mothers traits in their kids )
Seriously. Its good to analysis your riding, but dont forget to just get out and ride ride ride. I do about 25,000 - 28,000 kms a year. The only reason I can ride as well as I do these days is because of the ks Ive constantly ridden in the past 2 1/2 years, the variety of bikes, the vast difference in roads and types of riding outings (travelling with luggage, sports bike hunting of tight stuff, pillions on board, winter, summer, night or day, rain or shine). I think Waiheke Island is going to get very small very quickly. Personally, the North Island is getting very small as well.

Aren't motorcycles just, on the whole, pretty much scrumptiously awesome-licious?

[boomer]

[kitsune]

U guys cant make ur mind up half u want to see me not crash the other half call me pussy for taking it easy :P to the lot of ya im riding my own race. Dont change the fact i got a LE zx10r n u dont :P. For the guys wit good advice i have my gratitude, thanks guys helping me survive out there

[kitsune]

Lolz dont take me too serially bro, but i do mean it thanks to all you guys for the advice, have been on the forums alot the survival guide should be essintal reading for anyone on a bike, specially the tank slapper one. Has anyone thought of gathering the combined knowledge of whats on tap and putting it into a book prehaps?, im sure with the number of experianced riders here it would be quite a good informative read. anyhow thats my 2 cents.

Pictures, do you have pictures of your new ride yet?

[kitsune]

Im going to give her a new coat of wax and a detail, then im gonna get some shots of the bike plus the bike in amungst some of the best scenery you can get.

Curious which shop you bought it from, got any feed back on the service, assistance, after sale follow up etc?

[kitsune]

Red baron , i have seen some guys post negitive things about them but they do good by me, traded my gpx250 got 4k on it, only paid 5,500 or there abouts (got free helemet when i brought it) and the guys gave me some advice for riding it and 10$ off labour when they work on it, free fitting for tires and same day service for the bike. And about 400 $ off my new armor/helemet. BTW that bike is so forking sweet , "gremlin wins the your going to speed on that thing prize" - its a struggle to keep the from going over 50kph, have givin the bike a bit of gas , goes so easy up to 120 - 140. My gpx was struggling to hold that speed. cant wait till i get first service done, then its fun time

[Gremlin]

...goes so easy up to 120 - 140. ...

What a surprise eh...

You better let us know where this 140kph speed zone is

goes so easy up to 120 - 140

NAUGHTY NAUGHTY!!

1. At the rise of the hand by Policeman, stop rapidly.
Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him.

2. When a passenger of the foot, hooves in sight, tootel the horn
trumpet melodiously at first. If he still obstacles your passage,
tootel him with vigor and express by word of mouth, warning Hi, Hi.

3. Beware of the wandering horse that he shall not take
fright as you pass him. Do not explode the exhaust box at him.
Go soothingly by.

4. Give big space to the festive dog that makes sport
in roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with wheel spokes.

5. Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the
skid demon! Press the brake foot as you roll around
the corners, and save the collapse and tie up.
