I want to drag my 250 and my Celica some time. :P
I think the GPX will lead at first and then get overtaken.

**Dirty_Harri** · 13th March 2009, 17:14

Haha..i'd say that is an accurate hypothesis

I'd like to see a GT4 vs CBR250

I'm sure the 4 would win but it depends how well it's launched!

Oh well I guess i'll find out at the next nightspeed

**Slyer** · 13th March 2009, 17:16

On a rally track the CBR would get it's ass handed to it.

You would cain me on your bike and in your car Gen
Pm a guy called cajun, and ask him to change your username to whatever you want.
Im guessing youre on your learners, take it easy and ride safe. Im still a noob (on my restricted) youre lucky with a cbr as a first bike. Did it give you a bit of a fright when you first rode it.

or www.qmoto.co.nz is run by a regular here and has excellent gear at a lower price than the big names like alpinestars, dainese etc.

Don't buy a 2nd-hand helmet as you don't know if it's been dropped before.

Just looked, and nutz. this is a good price!

buy leather gear! count to 3 before being first off a green light. they haven't seen you. don't lane split above 20kmh. the corner is tighter than you think. gravel is like ball bearings to a bike, and wet white lines are like oil. ride in group with experts every once in while. enjoy!

I can buy leather gear..
Staying under 20kmh whilst lane spilting is fine...
I will certainly give gravel, corners and painted lines the respect they deserve..

but.. counting to 3 at a green?!? that will be hard to keep up

All valuable advice bluebird cheers!!

Don't lane split above 20kph? Hrmmm.... I think don't lane split with more than a 20kph differential between you and cars. Lane-splitting at 20kph or less is VERY slow! Sure, if the cars are stationary, but if they're going 15kph I wouldn't split at 20, more cars will pull in front of ya!
