    Gunnyrob, back in the saddle

    Hear ye! hear ye! After a prolonged absence, GUNNYROB, AKA Baden Powell has finally rejoined the fine fellowship of motorbicyclists.

    Cheers to the team at AMPS, I'll see the rest of you folks on the road real soon.

    Now, whose got contacts for BRONZ & the Ulysses clubs?

    About TIME!

    Oh yeah, this thread is useless without pictures.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    This year, and he got it for an OBSCENE price.

    gunnyrob may be one of my oldest and dearest friends, but I REALLY hate him right now.

    It's like he went out and a deliberately bought a bike that would make me burninate.

    Was that the 2k off listed price "deal"?

    I went into a dealers and sat on the bike (since no of the minions wanted to take any notice of a potential buyer). Strangely enough by sitting on the bike I instantly had attention...

    The discount was offered.
    I asked if they had the '07 red/white/blue? "What is that?" "Never heard of that colour scheme". (see my sig.pic below - LH bike)
    If they had that bike (in NZ) there was a potential sale.


    Ohh RWB VFR!!! (oops, I think I had a little trouser accident...)

    Way more than 2k off the listed price.

    Congrats mate! Welcome back to two wheeled utopia! Just in time for winter. Err, I mean...

    How the hell did you score that much of a discount? Jim2: You're not seriously thinking of pulling the same trick and trading the Z in?! Not that I'd say no to a shiny new VFR800... In fact, better hold me back.

    No, not me - gunnyrob scored a massive discount.

    Yeah I know that much. I said "How the hell did you get that much of a discount?!" Followed then by "Jim2: Planning to follow suit?" Guess it wasn't as clear as it could be. Maybe I should have added an 'enter' in there for clarity. Sorry.
    Just so's we know... the list price for a 2007 VFR800 is $16995 if memory serves. Just how much off that did he manage, and how? By the jealous murmourings he must've pulled a bit of a trick to manage it...

    I'm not at liberty to divulge that information and a VFR800 isn't enough of a change to tempt me off the Z.

    I think we're back on track now

    You'll need to spend $1500 in importing a race exhaust, otherwise it will sound like a wheezing lawnmower.

    A particularly valid point!
    Keeping a standard exhaust on a VFR is like shoving an old sock down Dame Kiri's throat.

    One does not wish to anger the V4 gods...

    I started laughing at this post, as it implies that Rob is an old bugger.....but then I realised that I'll be 40 in October......AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

    Maybe we can get a family discount on the subs
