I don't mind paying petrol for your car. How much do you need? (does $10 get you anywhere?)

I'm only free on Sunday morning till 1:30pm (have to be back in town at 1:30pm)

Out of my driveway (barely - damn cars! ).

[NinjaNanna]

I don't have any kind of insurance on my bike. As a new rider over 25 years old, it was going to cost about $200 - 250 from memory ( that was the cheapest quote - they went from there up to around $400!! ). Hell, I only paid $1000 for the bike ( admittedly it was "tired" ) so I'll take my chances . Even after the $2200 bare-frame refurbishment, I still take my chances. The bike doesn't owe me anything now, even after refurbishment, so every day now is money saved ( over taking the car, bus, train etc ).

Are you crazy, what are you going to do if you hit a car and heaven forbid its your fault!!!!

If you commute on it and lane split your playing with fire, just ask skidmark what happens when lane splitting goes wrong.

i'll ask the old man about his ute when he gets home, which will probably be before i get home from the chiller, so it'll be when i get home....

[BANZAI]

Picked GN up today!

Hanne drove us up there and Stephen rode back the GN back to his garage!

We gave it little bit of clean and when the weather is good will take it to WOF.

He gave me ride back on his GN. That was pretty scary ride on wet motorway

My ass got so wet!!!

Thanks a lot to you two and other people for who had look at thie thread and gave me advices!!!

[motorbyclist]

good to see you got it all sorted

[Jeremy]

Whoah, it looks so small on Everglade drive. Good to see it got all the way back.

You'll want to reset the tripometer if you went and got a tank :P To memory when stuck in traffic doing like 20km/h all the way to uni you'll get about 200km out of a full tank till you hit reserve.

[Timati]

Awesome. Get it sorted asap so you can join in with the rides.
