Riff Raff Alert - beware bike shops

[Rainbow Wizard]

I'm so confused now. I really want a Duc, but I don't think I'm going to be able to afford it this year!

AMPS might do a deal on that demo Voxan CR. You don't know until you ask. They've no expensive fibre, just plain honest power, and the tweak of the baffles brings on a Duc-like quack. The rollin froggies sure do get hot on a dawdle though, I'm gonna put some more heat shields on my header pipes and maybe fit an oil cooler (oil temp light came on today and the sun wasn't even shining through the clouds, damn hot though).

whats resale value got to do with anything???
once you buy a duc, you just trade it on your next duc..
the only reason you'll see a 98 suzuki 600 for $12000 is it's the only one that hasn't been binned

Now you're talking...

[Riff Raff]

Oooh, I've just found out that he who bagged Ducatis got rep points. How rude - where's mine for luffing Ducs????

[gav]

Ive seen 98 GSX-R600's going for 10-12 grand.... that means over 7 years they have lost only a few grand!!! When i get my full, i will come down and test ride all of your bikes ok?

Yip, and then there are K5 600's which are fucked after a few weeks and worth bugger all, aye?

It's okay Riff Raff, I'm here now!!

Congratulations on the licence - well done!

Don't listen to any of the others - Ducatis are wonderful bikes.

I am fully qualified in Ducatista.

I have Her_B4 already trying out Oakley Ducati-lens-laser-etched sunnies. She has already started working her way through the Ducati Accessory Catalogue (okay, so it's only a t-shirt, pen, and keyring so far, but it's a start!) And Flame has bought herself a second Ducati. I'm sure that either of them would vouch for my worthiness at helping you part with your hard earned cash on Ducati stuff.

Keep me posted! (We'll be at Paeroa on the 20th Feb, then at Pukekohe at the beginning of March for the racing so could meet up with you if you're there to hear about your progress in person!)

I understand that Motomart are shortly getting in a blue/white S4R - I saw Stu's one (he lives in Chch) at the Tokaanu Ducati rally - boy does it look stunning in dark blue with white wheels!

Phew, thanks Lynda!
Ideally I would like to get myself a Duc, but realistically I don't think I can afford one this year. So in the meantime I need to find myself something that I feel comfortable riding!
As for the blue S4R...

Well done RR. Its good to be out and Free

[ajturbo]

hey sue ...

like others have said... try them out!!!

ride as many of the ones YOU like... then decide... at the end of the day, we will still give you shit for ANY bike you decide on...

why? .. cause we do!

just look after it...!! like i know you will..

Woooohoooo go Riff Raff go. Well done girl.

I've actually got a photo of you on your test here

just realized that this photo was NOT of Riff Raff...
as you can see.. there is sand ..now osh would ban the use of this particularly Hazardous supstance... as our children may just get sand between their toes..... now as you know that in itself is not that dangerouse ... but just think.... where that sand could end up... on someones fingers... then in the mouth........ and you cannot have that kind of danger in NZ....
it is far better to have shreded tyres that will not rot, decay for 10 millon years......

go tree huggers!

Ducati Accessory Catalogue (okay, so it's only a t-shirt, pen, and keyring so far, but it's a start!)

I rather fancy a Ducati T-shirt. What do they cost? Who do I order them from?

Motomart are shortly getting in a blue/white S4R...

Is that the colour scheme with the white go-fast stripe down the middle, Thruxton 900 style?

It's gorgeous.

Can I get a Ducati shirt or cap?

Good stuff Riff Raff. As of about 20 mins ago I joined the same club. Man it was nerve racking just before it, but i passed sweet as. The heavy downpours of rain through out didnt detur me either.

Now... just need to find someone dumb enough to let me "test ride" a cbr600rr

[marty]

that's my goal too!! altho I haven't got anywhere near half way yet.. still sorting out mula.. it's an expensive hobby, ay? Still, once you have it, it's all up from there!!

go and loan/beg/steal the money to finish your ppl - fly when ever you want. it's the only way to do it

awesome effort K14 - i reckon sitting it in the rain is the way to go - it makes you that little bit more careful, the examiner *should* take into account the conditions, and if you're keen enough to do it in the rain, then you're obviusly keen enough....
