    Sarah have bought a new helmet,as new gloves and boots off trademe last night,so Janine is happy,no helmet slide lol.Now I might change the idea of a VTR1000 or SV650/1000 to something upright and two up suitable a bandit 1200 seems good,or hornet 900.
    HORNET .... you know youll look good on it ,jut pretend i never blew an engine ... na they are really good for two up tho and as you probly know very maneuverable and agile .vtr1000 you bearley get 150km out of a tank

    Nope, sorry, a Bandit's the only way to go. Cheap, great 2-up, reliable & 300k's to the tank. And mine's still in at AFC...one careful owner etc etc.

    -3546 is also for the CX front disk caliper I gave Sarah. Basicly similar calipers but the breed nipple and bango bolt positions are reversed.

    Manawatu m/cs in Josaph Street stock them. Just take in the left over one to compare with. Also I've got a couple of well worn examples if needed.
    I have some pads turning up tomorrow, hoping they are the right ones.. Might swing by and get the one thats left for comparison..

    Will keep an open mind,even like the whole marque range,except for harleys,then again who knows.See how the money is,my bike was good value,compared to a few in shops,nearly bought an 86 cbx 750,but was almost $4000,offered $3000 but needed relicencing,should have said i'll take it for full price but give me $1250 of gear.Never mind it's a good beast to get back into riding,and shouldn't loose much when it's sold.
    Hello officer put it on my tab

    Don't steal the government hates competition.

    Yeah im sure you will be quicker as you get comfy on the new bike

    I do, my speedo reads both but the miles an hour are much bigger than the Km's so it is very unsafe to attempt to read them while @ pace

    Talking of old age, almost forgot (see what I did there )


    Anyway, a mate & I are coming out of the Whanga pub yesterday & one of the two van loads of ladies we passed on the way turns & says "are you guys with the Ulyisses club"..........I spun around & said "are you talking to me????" She nods so I turned to my mate & said "rights it, this bloody movember is comin off"


    lol im only 35 you old women!!! You have to be like 50++ to be in that club lol
