    Wrong model! You want the NC30 not the NC24 Or you could be really awesome and get the NC35

    Saw that bike today. Well only the back of it as it was parked up against a wall outside the workshop. Thought it was a customers bike so didn't go have a look.

    You really need to test ride before you buy as the riding position is so much different to the GPX. Some dealers may let you test ride a bigger bike without the appropriate license depends on how well they know you.

    Cheers for the tip, after doing some research I see how the NC 24 & NC 30 are much different...

    Anyone wanting to plan a ride for this weekend GO FOR IT. Personally I am looking at heading to the classic bikes meeting at Pukekohe. Leaving at 11.00 hopefully (have work to do).

    Last Sunday trip to Raglan (via Heatherington Rd and SH22) was a great day. 164 kms but good roads and 9 bikes attending with 3 women riders. Nice pace throughout with no one really pushing it apart from the SUV Milan met coming around the corner on the wrong side of the road PHEW!!!

    Watch out for the Aria charity ride or Paeroa races (20th Feb) and the Teddy Bear run (6-800 bikes) 28th Feb (I think)!!!

    I had a look at that one the other day, looked a tad rough.

    This Sunday if I'm not hungover (stag do on saturday) I'll definately be up for a ride, poor bike hasn't had a decent one in weeks

    everybody is so mean to me now I ride a Harley

    ....or it could be because I am an arse!

    That must be fun driving that bohemouth around though, always thought it would be heaps of fun to play with one of those little bobcat things.

    Wink

    just your ride dude nothing else !! front end loaders are fun to drive even more so when the floor is wet you can get a bit of drifting going on, makes truck drives shit themselves when they see me making a bee line for them it all comes down to throttle control & engine braking

    In town on 2 wheels, was hoping to go out for a 'local ride'. Most other main centers have a mid-week ride. Im down here quite often but always in the car.
