Nice job.

They tell me the accessory pack has arrived for the long termer.

Hmmmm 2nd mortgage for the bike, 3rd mortgage for the mods wishlist.

Sure it'd be worth it if I survived the beating from the wife

Some more pics of the RIII at the recent TOMCC rally.

Did you get a cold? Why are you breathing so hard?=)

Nice bike, but the 3 pipes... it just had to be a V6.

I get like that every time I see it. We luffs hime more and mores.

I'm going to investigate a HD camera - one where the design doesn't mean breathing on the microphone if using the veiwfinder - shortly.

Problem with the micros - it's a tough little sony though, it's fallen off moving bikes and still works.

I've had the R3 back for a few days. Vege had it for the weekend. Been doing some nice lunchtime Auckland cruisings.

I'm enjoying chucking it around a bit now. 700km and starting to free up nicely.

Once you get the hang of the thing - maaaaamy.

Very nice looking bike Dave. I look forward to the next 'ride' episode! That thing must have amazing torque !! Pretty much get into top gear ... and stay there ...

A circular polarising filter'll fix that.

I find myself riding in third sometimes - that's what feels normal - but it will trundle along in traffic at 1,100rpm and still out-accelerate a car easily.

Haven't done any riding worth recording but i'll put some more pics up shortly.

It's on the display at Paeroa on Sunday. Plan to shoot some on the way down.

Third gear eh! It must have so much in reserve, especially around town ...

Most car drivers would have no idea about the bike cruising next to them ..... and it's potential !

Wish I was going down to Paeroa, ... but alas not this year. Enjoy the ride. I look forward to more pics. There are some good pics already posted above!
It sure is a beast !!
