Really?? Hehehe so it is!!

[bismarck]

Ummm...nope. I definitely took that pic. That's my bucket. Have you seen it at the track?

Yeah the 6's and 9's of that era look very similar (same frame etc., just some slight bodywork differences like the 9's have vents in the sides of the tail etc., and of course one has a bigger engine than the other)

I mean the one from the Greymouth street race

Is the ZX6R fast? Compare to other 600s?

Geez there is a lot of waffle on this thread these days.

I thought that "Boat" in scottish meant "Butt", but there you go

Looking forward to seeing the new wheels cruza, slowly working your way back to a four pot machine eh? lol

Peeteey, I'll take a camera onboard if there is one going, as long as you don't mind it getting bug splattered like the rest of the front of the bike does.

[Peeteey]

Hi

Peeteey thanks for posting the vids.

P_

Anytime mate, glad you're enjoying them.

Think the next one should have a great shot of your mug there somewhere

Hey Dudes and Dudess's

Just wanted to say it was groovy to hang out with you guys last night, took some photos of forwards and backwards shots, until my camera battery decided to hang itself, fuck why do they decide to do that when you are in the middle of some groovy camera shots, talking of which took some awesome shots of the sunset bouncing on fluffy clouds when I was up in the clouds, will make a thread and do a breakdown on the trip back to the UK and post some photos......Far Queue (Owen) will post some of the photos I took on the wednesday night ride.

Are they just the same cards that go in digital cameras? Cause I have a 1gig one I could bring along if that would help? Or is it just one card for all the cameras? I have no idea how it all works!

Yep, a stock standard SD card. A 1 gig one should give you about 20-30 mins-ish ... so maybe switch it on as you leave Little river next week to capture the ride over the hill ... Hope the old batteries still last that long Should be ok to get some nice shots tho!
Will be great if we get them all rolling, that would make 4 of us recording and if the others that have cameras (like you "Hey wait for me" (hint hint)) do the same we could get more angles.
Then there would just be the joyous task of editing them all together.

Great, I'll bring them all along, I could make it three cams if there are 2 people with (up to) 2gb SD cards going. Two can mount and one can be strapped to the side of someone's helmet with a giant rubber band which is actually tyre inner tube.
The helmet cam, if anyone wants it, should probably be worn by a slower rider as it offers a bit of wind resistance at speed so maybe it's not for you Mr. Hornet

So Scott's got one card, we just need one more to make it a trio of cameras

Ohhh.......my profile pic that's now really small because of the stupid f&*%ing KB "upgrade". That's right you did! It's a good pic.

The ZX seemed very similar in power to an 03 GSX-R600, but sluggish and fat compared to an 09 R6. It's alot heavier than the newer 600's

Peeteey, I have a 1gb card (not sure if this is big enough?) I would do it if you don't get anyone else, you will have to show me how to work it though!

[bikee chick]

Thanks Gary
I will be there as long as it is not raining hard, looking forward to having a go really. See you Wednesday.

[Peeteey]

2 months left on my learners then do the restricted. I can then get the restricted period down to 3 months if I do the advanced driving course, speaking of which, anyone have any ideas where to do this??

hey KP, just looked up site on web for my full - was thinking of doing the "defensive driving course" so i can go for my full early March (3 months from date of getting restricted license) - the AA on brougham street costs $190.00 to do the course which you can do once you've had your restricted for 3 months and it consists of :4x 2hr sessions, then a drive in a car to prove what you've learnt......... then it's $71 to sit Full licence........
money i don't have so am thinking unless i win lotto i'm gonna be waiting the 6 months to sit my full bugger it!!!!!

[helenoftroy]

Yes great bikes the xr600 and xr650, Done alot of hoonish miles on both. There are a few xr650 aircooled bikes round HOT that had electric start, noticed your aerobatics on the foot cranker

And yes I sold mine.......... dumb move , but had just brought a 4wd at the time , and didn't get used much.

Neat you enjoyed your blast on the Thumper Helen , lost sight of you very quickly when we swapped bikes at sumner lol - last vision was you on the charge with the front of the pack - heard your horns grew bigger the further you got along - top stuff.
Big thanks for letting me straddle your beauti blue duke, awesome to have been on the legend of twins.

Yeah cruza good bikes, did a lot of research before deciding on the XR, seemed the best all-rounder - no 300 hour rebuilds like the german counter part or other rice burner models .

Love the Ducati(I would love a 999) but Im a trail/dirt bike girl from last century,love them!Had a XL500 till very pregnant with my 1st born.....awesome thumper! & kicked her into life no probs(tho no decompression lever) Was a very sad day when the new owner rode off on her, it was 16yrs till I had a bike again......

My Sam(Casualty)is trying to decide wot to get after the CBR250R goes......he is 6ft3in & still growing,all the 600cc road bikes hes tried are too cramped for him....he loves the DR.....reckon he would love an XR,could do offroad/adventure rides & have a huge amount of fun on the seal...

And of course his mum could relive her long lost youth & ride it whenever she wanted.....

Yes!! sounds like a cunning plan!

[QUOTE=Yes!! sounds like a cunning plan![/QUOTE]

What about the Yam that Duncan rides. He is over six foot.

That would be a plan so cunning you could tie a tale on it and call it a weasel!!!!!
