mrs yod and i were in kathmandu for some goodies for this ride today - if you join their Summit Club ($10), you can get 50% off a lot of their stuff until Monday

At least their advertised 50% disc is genuine now,they got prosecuted big time for breaches of trading act last year or so.

[yod]

Was going to add a ps to thread about the seconds being great buys,socks are bloody good,the thick work ones are ideal for boots,might have a different colour thread on top but the old man doesn't care.
The oil japara vests were ok but then price went over $175,to bad they last for years it's just the initial cost to buy is expensive.

Then again perhaps not

just been at PTMC and ordered new springs for my stand, shocked and horrified to learn they are only $20 overnight from Wanganui - i was expecting much worse

checked out a rather nice looking YZF1000 with only 62k on it for $7995, nice bike I thought apparently they've had a few nibbles on it

discovered they are bringing out a full-fairing version of the bandit...not sure if i like it or not

it definitely still has your old tyres on, the front isn't too bad but the rear is pretty square and worn

Yeah that's a bloody good deal, '07 bike but no different to the '08.
You should be in dude, get enough of them about and we might be able to stave of the flood of Concours 'round here.
