    Actually, the ZX dont come in a V twin!! WTF is going on? Dont tell me you have joined the way of the Yod.
    Nice avatar,green shows out nice in twilight.With the mileage yours has done a great advert for the ZX.

    Mind you Boob did drop the RF twice just after he bought it,so he should have gone green,hides the grass stains.

    Maybe it is safer for the new owner to truck it down,lots of speed camera tickets going to new owner otherwise.

    On ya for getting a bike. Waiting patiently for the pics. Why dont you bus it and ride it back?
    If I had the time I would love to. As mentioned the last two I did exactly that. Was bloody great getting to know the bike on such a long ride off the bat. It can be done in a day & I mean a FULL day, dusk till dawn. A mate & I did that recently but Wellywood, on the road @ 6am & didn't get back till 9pm, farkin lot of riding in one day lol.

    Depends where you define early,saw a camera van by junction SH3 & 3a,and about 5 km past a cop waiting with radar couple sundays back,bloody radar detector doesn't pick up cameras till on top of em.Thought of you straight away when the cop was spied,similar area.

    40 demerits and still 12 mths to go,another ticket and then real nervous.

    I don't get tickets


    Not entirely true actually, I got my first one in nearly 10 years last month, doing 107 with a trailer on in my Accord, my only defense was I thought the speed limit was 80km with a trailer on?

    The officer thought it was funny

    Na wasn't the purving twas the height of the bike, I had to tippy toe when the bike was on level ground so when it was parked or moving at slow speed on a hill it was really dodgie as it only took a few degrees to be over the line & she would drop.....fast. So from then on I was super alert, like at ninja levels when ever moving around on a hill. Was gunna get the special made gel seat which dropped a few inches of height but the damage was already done so no point plus it was minor. Sold it like that too

    Try Efficient carrying co in Onehunga,they are reasonably cheap,i.e fridge 2 cu mtr door to door Henderson to Hawera $80+gst(16 mths ago).They usually are furniture but do general freight,and have seen them carry the odd bike,strapped to side and covered,well strapped as well.

    Get the bike dumped at my place. Theres heapsa room
    I'm happy for it to be transported down in the back of my van. Might work in for a KBer who's doing a track day at Taupo or summat like that> What would be really cool is if someones pickng a bike up from down your way kinda a round trip

    Anyhoo offer of van and /or storage is there
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
