Damn close to license loss for a month,how many demerit points have you got as well,idea could be to ask for court hearing,will add the court costs to fine but if you say the noise made it sound faster lol,you then pay the fines weekly.Mind you put $60 week away and by the time the fine is due(27 jan)you will have the dosh.

My mechanic used to say it's only money,not good one time when the C4 in the fairmont shat itself,$1450 later total rebuild and away,was about 20 yrs ago.
Mixed feelings about radar for bike,cost vs hassle mounting etc for the gsx,then spending $400 plus for one on the bike,as cars have one in each and cheaper types but work (just),mind you saved me three times,picked the radar about 1 km away but straightish road,not bad with bendy roads either lol.Surprising amount of marked and muftis without radars on,three times this week going to work passed cars without them on.

VV glad that you are only a little bruised and battered and that the rear brakes working at that point otherwise we could have been too close for comfort

just seen results of the carterton sprints today .. hmm & if i am not mistaken it looks like a honda took out the fastest time on one of the classes

Thanx for reminding Cowboyz Honda's are OK, he did ride SK1PY around the block and only used a rubber mallet so we won't hold his comments against him.

Bonez you are a complete darlin' the calliper did fit and with some sandpaper and elbow grease Lee fixed SK1PY up so she stops right smartly now

I may have to be a little 'gentler' with the right foot

HUGE thanks to Bonez, V8 and Cowboyz for practical help. Also to all on sunday for encouragement and support so I didn't lose my bottle about riding home slightly short on stopping power and for others who posted helpful suggestions and words of support.

SK1PY and I feel very loved

One great big happy family in the TUI district,pity more communities can't join in the spirit.Still annoyed I forgot to at least say anything to you at time,but noise went once the last saddle conquered,and you got past the car,I stayed behind it as I knew we were about 2 km from the town.Was sure it was my pads as two up thought they might be getting warm,with application all the time.

Suppose though they hadn't dropped the bundle at that time,but hindsight is so blardy wonderful.

Too late on the photo front (remember Sarahs wobbly rear?)

Glad the caliper did the job guys.

Just fitted a mirror and headlight to Gerble this evening (after the compulsery nanna nap) so she's all good to go as well.
