[Robert Taylor]

He sure has. And you two really need to get a room.

No chance, off to sleep with some grizzly bears.

I'm positive that Craig is Maggie Thatcher to Roberts Ronald Regan!

Unrequited love but public affection!!

[Pussy]

Surely he'd know what he's talking about with all those years experience flying F-14s? Surely...........

Get it right!!!
He flew F-4s, on covert missions in Afghanistan.
Also a VERY experienced ag pilot, too

Certainly a golden period in world history. Now that Great Britain has once again a Tory led Government all is good!

anyhow - where were we...

I bought the goldvalve kit and it arrived in 3 days, yes THREE days from the states, purdy quick and too cheap really! I went for version 2 as racetech talked me in to it lol, no idea what the difference is but they said if i have the time and can farrrk around with them then they are a much better option..... ermmm sure thing!

I also got some heavier fork springs, cool! i well under way for my superstock ermmm... conversion?

Hoping to have the front end sorted for testing next week, ok ok maybe the week after.

Next up i need to remove the exhaust valve thingy and find a better muffler (anyone got a fucked one for a 600 that needs a reskin?), make a new middle pipe (to the same size as the length removed) ermmmm what else?

i dont remember seeing anything in the rules about dialing ya cams in, slotting ya cam sprockets? is that shit legal?

It would have arrived the very next day if you had purchased locally and supported NZ business. And the price difference wouldnt have been what you think.
Is the company in the States you bought it off doing a whip round for Christchurch earthquake relief? I thought not, many NZ businesses will be helping.
Sorry if that sounds cynical but Im all for Kiwis looking afrer Kiwis.

Was that because you're a fat prick?

Jasom Mcewan in his prime, always said the Gold valve stuff worked best for him, horses for courses I guess, I won a NZ 600 title using Gold valve front end kit self installed and an Ohlin's rear by RT

I support many local businesses, just 2 weeks ago i was in pitlane motorcycles in christchurch and bought 4 litres of engine oil and just this morning i bought a long black from a local coffee shop while deciding what valving to try first on my new setup. hardcore!

Hey - they probably dont even know where New Zealand is. I can see your keen to help and i can feel your love... you can send money direct to me, i lost my chimney and gained some dents on a couple of my bikes, i also had no power and water for a day or two BUT i did gain something, i gained some stress over all these FUCKING aftershocks! I can PM you my PO box number.

I'm all for people buying FXR parts from me but instead they buy from Asia because its cheaper from the source... Welcome to the real world. Sometimes life cruel!.
