Hornet Swarm Night City

[wanpo]

The swarm thread dropped off the front (and 2nd) page? :O
Say it ain't so.

Todd and I back from an awesome track day at Hampton Downs. Super enjoyable, got to test the bike in both the wet and the dry. Had heaps of confidence in the tyres even in the wet (which is where I think Todd and I definitely have an advantage with the pilot road 3s)

Rode Toto's bike for half a session; camera was still taped to the side of the bike, so on his say so I took the liberty of taping that session (and uploading it to youtube)



The bike infront of me was an NSR250 which definitely had a few more ponies, but I think I was gaining on him a little each lap (which is why I didn't come in earlier; 'I'll have him in just one more lap")

Sounds like you guys had a good day at the track. I saw Nick last night, he'll be in Akld through summer and keen to come out on the swarm ride. He wants to know more about that carbon pipe, still interested in swapping for the Scorpion.

Sweet, I'll try to tidy the pipe up, the damage to it is quite fixable I think. bound to buff out.

Hey Robbie, you can just get one of those and debafalize it like my one. Save you a few bux.

Good to see someone went riding in the weekend! I didn't even ride my bike once!

It's taken this long for Cindi to get over 23000km! At this rate, she'll turn into a garage queen!

You're slipping J
I actually managed to get out for a quick ride, a few twisties then off to pick up a stock muffler complete with valve servo that I got off tardme. Very rare that I can get out on the weekend what with little nippers and family responsibilities. Also, that stock muffler is pharkin heavy!

It wasn't a garage queen already?

I think the Big Ol'Hornet is currently a garage queen - currently with DONOR!

Too much exam marking for me to do - report writing as well! Looks like another boring evening for me!

~_~ Cammy will have done more ks since I got her than your Cindy; I'm fast approaching 20k

I took my Hornet in for its 6,000km service on Friday and asked if I could take one of those new CBR250s as a loan bike.

Big mistake, I love it :x
I understand a lot of people dislike it because it's not an IL4 250cc but man, it's pretty amazing for a bike of today's age. It's so stable it's unbelievable. The quality of finish puts the Ninja 250 to shame. Also, I was utterly comfortable at 6'2. I liked the GPX250 but the latest model Ninja 250 is torture to ride for me. This CBR has done real-world economical one hundred percent right.

There's something about light little 250s that make me smile, I wish I could afford another 250. I see there's Gymkhana going on in Taupo, I wish we had something up in Auckland.

*wonders what he can do for second income to afford another 250 motorcycle*

Believe me, I'd love to take a month off work to ride around a country But I don't think the wallet will allow it for a good long time.

Amy, you should do this do your baby blade:

If anyone's bored and wants to go for a ride on Saturday, I'm gonna have a day trip down to Rotorua to replace the earplugs I lost -_-

Would love to get that kind of custom fairing. Hm. I wonder where you could get that from...

(Also, Amy? You call me this twice now. I suspect I'm missing a joke...)
