    Thumbs up Test riding is over...

    Well the test riding days are over .. I have found "the bike"

    I pretty quickly knew it was a bandit 1200 that was the bike for me, however the ones that I test rode locally were either overpriced for the ks or had question marks over one or another part of them ..

    A chance conversation with Delphinus asking if he knows of any decent bandits for sale .. & as it happened he told me to pm another kb member to see if his one was still available

    so thanks to Cold_Comfort .. I now have a new bandit 1200SK6 Delphinus is bringing her up for me next week when he comes to get his bike .. (and its the direct route .. not the west coast/back road kinda way plz )

    So it will be the long way to the cold duck rally on friday morning to have a decent ride & might just have to sneak out on the saturday too ..

    I would also like to take this opportunity to thank some of the guys I ride with for their support, wisdom and encouragement .. in no particular order Bonez, Rottiguy, NZsarge, Sugilite, Banditrider, Oscarnz and Rvgrider - you guys are simply awesome and I look forward to the rides in the coming weeks

    I also want to thank Dmntd & Riderinblack for checking out bikes for me in my quest to find "the bike"

    and of course Delphinus for that chance convo ... on ya mate ..

    By all accounts it'll have a new rear tyre when it arrives from down south, you should get a good 15-20 minutes out of it...

    Nice bike alright, have been considering one of these.

    He's a good egg that Delphinus
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
