    Gotta new bike

    After killing my 04 FZ1 in an accident last year it was time to get a replacement.
    Went out and got me a brand spanking, 06 FZ1. Had 0.4km on the clock when i took it for my first ride.
    Will pick it up next week when the weather is better, and ive had a chance to make some room in the garage.
    Pics when i get it home.

    Congrats man !!! may the miles roll out effortlessly !!
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Outstanding! (ofcourse, mine's the same colour..) I put an Arrow can on mine a couple of months back and it changes the character of the bike considerably, well worth doing. add another dimension to riding the bike.
