Is that the polite way of saying I'm silly.

Cause I'll take it from you guys.

Good choice for a step up would feel a lot better on long rides to I say go for it :-)

Wow, not sure how they managed to get that thing to weigh more than mine...
I would be interested to take one out for a test ride for comparisions sake. It would seem I was right about the handle bars, although I'm not entirely sure how aggressive the ZXR feels to start with.

Heavy pig of a bike, underpowered for what it is

Go DRZ

A good step up. You will be sweet with it

I am still without my bike, but I'll be along in my car tonight. Also don't forget that we have MarkW coming along showing how to do the more complicated emergency braking in a corner.

It would be great to get as many along as possible to the car park around 7:30pm.

MarkW, are you only coming to the car park, or did you plan to go for the ride as well?

So I guess it's the short ride tonight to get there in time

Oh well, I haven't gotten a good car park session in weeks!! It will be cool to meet Mark, having met Phil and Dawn already. Is there anybody else who has taken lead for NASS before?

Bloody hell, that's why he told me to check my will and life insurance!

I need some ballast to keep the back of the bike on the road.

And I'll be at Z Westgate first but would like to be at the Carpark as soon after 7.30 so that as much time as possible is available for practice.

It would be good if the socialising could begin AFTER the practice rather than before or during.

After a couple of years away it will be good to indulge in a NASS session.

I'll have a ballast you can borrow

Might be a big bouncy in the wind on the DRZ hahaha.

See you at Z Mark.
