The quantums are cool lids. Some wicked designs too.

the xr1000 that i got does not fit as well as i thought it did at the time i bought it, but in saying that they are quiet and have good all round vision. i made a costly mistake when i got it, i should have stuck with the arai tried and tested well hopefully get some cash back when i sell it.
how is your situation going hows the healing coming on, whats happening with the bike insurance etc. I saw eric coming out of hamiltom m/cycles last week, could be the 2010 675 on the cards.

Yeah always the way really. When you love something karma gets pissed off at you for play with the other side.

As for me, mashed up hand which no ones knows what to do with, but a new toy arrives in Feb. Trying to at least sort out gear so when I can swing the leg over a bike I can work out what I can or can't do.

Hopefully the rides don't bloody stop as soon as I get the bike. I need to get some time in riding before the little one arrives (in Feb also - should be a good month

)

There's been a few rides thru there - I don't know how many of you remember Wednesday night rides (instead of the pub), a group of us went up past the power station and out to 22 on that route - it was dark and bit wet, that road gets very slippery, had a few riders worried.

Came back the same route with Honda club once, a dick 2 up on an old CBR1000 over took and ended up on the grass, he almost came off.

But a good road

A group are going up to support the BRONZ ACC

Christmas card event at the Viaduct on Saturday morning. We are meeting in Garnett Ave outside The Hotel about 7:20 for 7:30 AM depart.
If you are able to support this iconic event please register at , there are 66 bikers currently registered.

We will arrive about 9:15 and park one bike to a parking space and then enjoy some coffee & biker food while socilising before leaving at 10 to ride up Q st, across Grafton Bridge, onto Park Ave and into the Domain for a park-up.

All over by 11:30 and there are some non motorway options for the trip back to the Ton

before the BBQ.
