[MikeD400]

Hey KBr's thought I'd just check in and let everyone know that I'm back on the road!!

Haldanes in penrose today hooked me up with a sweet Honda Hornet 250! Exactly what I was looking for something good to commute on but with enough power to have some fun in a straight line and give me the shits in the twisty's!

WOOHOOO! Pretty happy with myself! Might have to look up the Hornet swarm and go introduce myself I think. Also me and Nzspokes will be coming to the next Thursday South Auckland ride if thats the correct name?

Anyway just a heads up! I'll see ya out there! HAH!

Mike!

Ive seen it, Ive sat on it but ive not ridden it as im riddled with the pox. Its very nice, sounds great to. Not sure if will be able to keep up with the CBX though....

Pictures are needed.

Hornets are the action if you're after an imported 250. Good score and enjoy.

I'll take better pics and post them up later this is the dealer pic, I managed to squeeze a brand new pirelli diablo for the front to match the back out of the dealer

As a bona fide Hornet rider, congrats! Need some piccies of your new beastie and hope you enjoy many safe journeys on it!

If you need some advice about things hornet, just drop me a PM! (My lil'ol'hornet is still going strong at 105 000km now!)

Hope to see you out there!
