Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Police report just arrived. Another biker down.

Looks like he hit the side of the bus from what I have just seen on the TV1 news.
Bugger.

RIP fellow rider……..

in the shade with good mates on Orange bikes.

I thought they were RED

Finally got some piccies of my little bike. Geez she sure does sway in the wind a fair bit.

Take care in the wind, not much weight on the bike and it is light, nice starter bike and you will have no problems with it, after you get use to it then upgrade to the new V Max

Actually Dave I found it good to ride and the handling improved markedly when I fitted the Conti Sport Attack on the rear. I've still got a soft spot for the V Twins......love the sound. If they're set up right, they are a fairly easy bike to ride. Anyway hows Rowan getting on .....has he had his op yet??? Please pass on our best wishes for a speedy recovery. cheers W

I was attempting humour . The SV's are great bikes , and the sound of the twins great , thats why I still have the TL. as yet have not found an affordable bike that I like more. The GSXR is a weapon though and if the 08 is is like the 07 that induction roar is fantastic .
If you can hold one wide open to redline through the first 4 gears then I will be mighty impressed . I bottled when the scenery out accellerated the brain .
And then there is the sublime handling ... bloody amazing bikes.

Oh, thats good...I was thinking maybe I was in a party of one there for a while It gets like that when your mate rides a Gixxer and wont for a moment let your forget it either. My poor SV has a bit more ballast over the front than yours......but still carries the front wheel easily enough if you want it too. There wouldn't be many bikes that could hang on to the back of you.....not for very long anyway. Cheers W

I forgot to say , word is Rowan doing OK , no busted bones it turns out , he has lost part of his foot though . I didnt get over to see him today so this news is second hand.

Steve could hang in there pretty well on his old bike and even get away from me on trackdays . I reckon he would be pretty pesky on his later model GiXeR .

or not. We were so close it was a lota fun. You ride that TL better than anyone I have ever seen on them. Oh I should remind you that the last time I got away from you on the track, and the only time I got away from you Dave, I dropped it.

You coming to the motott track day on the 18th Jan?

Now you ride a Gixxer W, I will have no show mate. You put out the same power as me when you are in dopy mode. Hope to get out this weekend for a ride. Fingers crossed……………. Looking forward to riding with the bling thing. Way back there so I can see what it looks like. I might have to get use to looking at the back of it. But it is a Gixxer so that will be fine with me. If you ride Saturday W we could have a few bikes so we can all see it.
