Funny indeed. No matter. That'll teach these "noobs" what comitted riding is really about.

Ditto!

Best weekend I've had in a looooooong time.

Definitly the best weekend I've ever had while on call, even with 4 calls through the night (3:00, 3:30, 4:00 and 07:00 ah, thems the breaks). Thanks heaps guys for the loan of your internet hook-up.

Very nice indeed (although personally I prefer black). I'd have to say I'm loving it's larger sibling. I think from memory the only real difference is the extra 150cc.

What's the handling, power etc like? I am also tossing up on a GSR750

With a strong side stand

It was a fantastic weekend guys, thank you so much for having me/us. Lots of laughs all around and great food on the new barbie.
So I am all in one piece minus the bloody side stand, glad I caught the damn bike though.

So I am! it would have fallen on Luka :-(
