Yeah yeah i know th ebird packs a bigger punch you show off lol...

The cramped riding style I do agree with, I thought it was a sports tourer but seems more like my legs are up around my ears all the time, I always get cramp in the hip flexors and that would be why..Im thinking the seat is a low cut one so maybe the corbin might change that??? You could try that..If it works might have a buyer after all

I haven't noticed any bouncing around however, I did on the monster now that thing was insane for movement in the rear so the RF fealt really sold... COuld have something to do with the extra 30kg on it's back now?? lol

If ya uber lucky there might still be a sensationally awesome liquid silver Fazer still available at AFC when you get back, that'll sort all ya problems mate.

A great weekend as I managed to get out both days and stay dry

Saturday Jake and I went out for Lollies....for him of course

A nice pootle in to town to check out 86's bike and then to Ashhurst as the `lollie connoisseur' says they have the best options. He is getting quite comfortable on the bike now

Sunday was a `mental health` ride...funny seeing steam coming out of ears when helmets are removed

Foxton via Shannon for a caffine fix and fantastic company...just what the Doctor ordered....it doesn't get much better.
It's amazing the difference a new tyre makes too-bloody bike has stopped trying to `throw` me around the corners now....though the old front tyre had been on for.........17500kms

Yes was definately a "mental health" ride, just what the doctor ordered.
Really needed that ride and coffee. And of course time for the steam to disappear.

Glad we missed the rain. Drove over to Masterton in the late arvo and it was totally disgusting coming back around 6pm last night.

Dude! Riding a Yamaha is always in style.

I knew you were a closet Kwaka fan, i'll do you a deal, one time offer. If I win Lotto powerball all to myself this coming weekend (6 million I think) then i'll swap the RF for the 14.

Coz i'll have a new 14 in the shed anyway... he he.
