Tauranga Rant and Rave

[Unit:Me]

Well I wont be along this Thursday as Im off to seek out some sunshine this week. I didnt realise when I booked the trip it was my bikes birthday this week. Not wanting it to sit lonely in the garage on Thursday night I have entrusted it to Antonio to take along so you guys can celebrate for me.
And of course, if I say NO BURNOUTS, of course whats going to happen, so I wont say it

Mark Patterson of Patterson O'connor Motorcycles here in Rotovegas. He is a authorised Ohlins dealer / servicer and knows his stuff.

Sent it off today. Hopefully it will be done by friday............... $300+ later... It's some flash Hagon shock which he has never rebuilt before so he doesn't know how much it will be..

Gives us a turn au.

That sounds safer than letting DUMPTED ride it down

Ahem ... I suppose if I'd done a forum search, I would have found this thread first before starting a new one elsewhere {sigh}

My nephew's in the army overseas and because his uncle is soooo cool and rides a bike, he wants one too. There's one in the bay that he likes the look of.

It's a Kawasaki ZXR import. It has a bit of gravel rash, rusty chain and is unregistered atm but he is keen on it if there's nothing nasty to worry about. It's at Adrenalyn Motorcyles (whoever they are). This is the listing

If anyone there would like to check it out there's a bed and a beer here when you're next in Welly.

I know the place well and I've seen the bike in there. They usually clean them up before sale but they have imported a lot of 250s at the moment so some sit for a while. I would say it is in alright condition but I wouldn't be surprised if it hasnt been run for years, some of those bikes sit in Japan for years before being exported to here.

I'm surprised there isn't a KB "how to buy a bike in japan" thread.

Ok then, but I think that you will find that its cause I'm a little taller

Anyway we all know that wheelies are niether smart nor clever.
