One more week till the school holidays and I will be able to catch up with you all at Drivers, because the wife doesnt work during that period. Yay!

Hoping to take a mate for a ride over to Oko on Saturday if it is fine enough, hopefully I will have 2 bikes running!

The Corporal has now been stripped of the top of its engine. Some off down to the mechanic to get the valves removed so I can get it bead blasted and repowder coated, the cylinder off for bead blasting in the morning. Big bore now one step closer!!!

Hey Unit, yeah its funny turning up to the Pyes Pa palace and the Queen bee aint there

All good though, those two worker bees (G and D-man) did a great job on silver and boy does it sound sweet as now...Im still buzzing!

Looks like I will have to wait a while though before I can really get out there and take it for a blast as my bike is getting its check up on Monday because of the world-wide ZX14 recall for certain models. Did you get a letter from Kawasaki NZ? Yours might be ok...

Good to hear from you...heard through the grapevine that there has been another addition to your ever impressive family - another Italian only this one is BLECK!

Catch up soon

Just called into Bay City tonight and they said of all the bikes they have checked no problems, there has only been one in the country so far thats had to be fixed. Seems the machine was set to tighten bolts etc too tight, hopefully yours and mine arent in that small batch, chances are we are all good. Also sussed out cost for 24,000km service today, ouch

as mine is now due. Im off to Aussie in August so bike will be parked up till I get back probably and I know how many pennies are left in my pocket (I'll keep thinking bike service while Im away, probably a good think will stop me buying stupid stuff made by Australians

).
Glad your happy with the new pipes, cant wait to hear it in person, must catch up real soon.
