Sorry but they've sold the FZ1 that was in there... But there's a brand new ZX14 that'd be right up your alley mate.

Mate, it'd make one farkin' quick boat anchor. Part of me wishes my bike was a boat anchor, at least I wouldn't have to keep putting tires on it...

Anchor is no good without traction at the bottom of the ocean

city honda is always good never had a problem there or you could try garry and neil at PNM in the back of the old phil turnbals..meanie will say AFC others will say Anza but we shouldn't talk about flying instructors like that

or you could get some of your local KB'rs too look just stay away from that cowboy fella that has a ZX9 he's bad news

Yeah that was a great trip! And I do remember arriving in Gissy in a rather prompt fashion. Bring on more of those trips!

Thanks for the bike shop tips. Currently looking at a GSXF750 on TM, needs a bit of TLC but $ is good and I like DIY! So I'll see how that goes - will keep you posted.

Re ashust inn, it's the wife's bday on Friday so might not get away with visit this week, but another week for sure!

Happy shopping

Cheers.

I'll let you know what it's like after work. Bit windy at the moment, but nice and sunny. I won't be there tonight, as my bike is clean, fueled and ready for our 7am journey to Opunake.

Cheers Sarge, but this is what we have to look forward to. "Showers becoming heavy for a time in the afternoon and early evening, with thunderstorms south of the Mountain".

Weather at the moment is overcast and there's still a bit of wind. Not looking too bad for the FNR though.
