It came in a crate

[blueblade]

Ha. Was wandering past Colemans yesterday (or was it the day before???) and saw them pulling a DRZ out of the crate on the footpath. Must have been yours. Looks very sexy in black. Pity its not a KTM but I bet you get more enjoyment out of it than the GSXR.

ahahah what a fun play thing this bike is. Just picked it up at lunch time.. had a bust up with the mrs when she found out.. so we went for coffees and she approves ( nicer ride back there, smoother and the fact i'll be accompanying the boy on the dirt at weekends is a plus!! )



its not the fastest thing in the world.. probably what the gixxer is for but boy is it nimble, light and fun! i cant wait for Logan to back it in for me
and teh aftermarket pipe is just PURE hooliganism..it puts teh growler to shame


I understand they do a big bore and a few other mods to get a few more hp outta them so they're not so lethargic.... fast enough for me at the moment for sure!!

meh meh.... Good times

pics to come

[Brett]

DUDE... need pics. I am hanging out for a decent pay day to get a motard also.

Can't beleive that gixxer is still giving you grief. Bloody mad.

[Swoop]

Does Boomer own a fuc*ing digital camera or what? Photo's man!!! Now!

What else would you expect from a K7?

i managed to catch him on video at the shops yesterday

Shit Boomer, obviously nothing stops you from getting out and having a play, eh!

Nice choice. I'd love a 'tard for a bit of cross training.

[boomer]

ok.. here they are ..


I wish i could do that now Gordie.. maybe 30 years ago

And Phil... give me another 5 yrs and i may master this one, its very strange having the single vibrate through your body; making your spine resonate at such a frequency against your skull i feel nauseous. Great for commuting, although teh seat is worse than the gixxers; its hard! :s .. it wheelies under power in first but that it (i cant do clutchin') . Theres a bit of power there, suprising for what it is really! It's so light the back locks up and drifts under brakes... im yet to be a) brave enough to try it under power and b) find somewhere quiet enough to try.

the bars and geometry of sitting up are great, the sensation when changing lean angles is immense as is the feeling when you throw the bike over into a corner, you feel the suspension working and you flow through the bike ( a very strange sensation brought on by having chuck chaser suspension i imagine )

im yet to really have a play and the 16th will be make or break of it, as im not sure if i can put up with the feeling sick all the time business !!!!

i got on the gixxer tonight after work to take a dvd back ... they are chalk and cheese. All they have in common is 2 wheels.

A 600 at least would be better to whizz you along, Im starting to think about getting new rims for it so i can take it on the dirt instead/as well .... but then that defeats teh purpose doesnt it?!

any one wanna buy a tard from a tard?


ps.. Sensei.. hows that new rear end.. like shit to a blanket?

[DMNTD:Me]

Mean man!! Good shit!

[Swoop]

Shit hot!

Nice bike Boomer.

[kiwifruit]

lookin' forward to trying to keep up with you on the 16th

Have both off road & Tard rims so it just change chain & wheels sweet . The TTX-36 in the RSVR is unreal spent another 2k on the Ohlins front & replacing the old Ohlins to the new Model TTX-36

does Robert have to go to John Deer to source springs for you (jokes)


i haven't had the pleasure of testing my newly gold blingerized front forks out yet.. The trip to the shop tonight told me it felt heavier but still liked to lose traction on the front when teh throttle is twisted


Reports to follow if i dont die first

[Sensei]

Only 96kg so nothing to big . If your front is half as good as my mine they will be excellent
