No speeding there. Man I love that road, it's just got everything you want in a bike road. Great vid and the soundtrack is just so perfect. Glad we didn't end up like the guy in the song though lol

Awesome video, sure gets you in the mood to go riding

Awesome to see the local roads too - rather than some twat on a motorway doing 180mph. Hell, you can picture yourself going into the corners. I was looking for the little gravel patches, sheep, crap on the road...

Damn, I need to go for a snot...

Might need to check the vid at a library,bloody dial up.

Oh a yellow bike!
Ohh yeah, one of them Daytona's, you can't step outside without trippin' over one of those things....

You'd think if it was such a common issue that Suzuki NZ might have these parts lyin' 'round somewhere...
Or at the very least be able to tell you what it's gonna cost.

Well, you wouldn't be having these problems if you'd bought a Triumph would you

(hope they fix it soon)

Almost as common as Kawasaki's

grumpy yod

the drive parts should be here in about a week - probably about $150 including fitting
BUT
the drive also needs the bearing replaced - another $100 including fitting but it's ex-japan so at least 2 weeks

$250 all-up to get it sorted is ok but having to wait possibly 3 weeks is a bit of an arse

I will now dedicate myself to the mighty VFR's cause

Can't they pull out the bearing and see if there is a suitable replacement at SKF?

Oh and Honda riders are ghey, apperently. Skiddy owns one and his sig says so
