You still have the RF which I am sure is feeling left out and wants to go for a ride ! LOL

Just wanted to clear somethin' up, re my comment about needing brake pads; I don't want Logan to be in any way portrayed in a bad way.
He rang me feeling very bad about not knowing they were low, and I fully believe him.
He's been a huge help throughout & always full of advice & tips for me! Couldn't ask for a "more betterer" seller.

I should've engaged the ol' grey matter before writing it; I was merely thinking of things needing doing before the trackday...

Speaking of which, she's lookin' gorgeous & sleek now that the pillion pegs & mudguard unit are off

I luuuuuuurrrrrrve my bike!!!

Had a mint 1/2 day down at Taupo (the 1st 1/2 was v v v gentle); the afternoon sessions were loads more fun.
Managed to get a little extra track-time by following the pretty Lines ladies in their fluoros, (Cheers boys; was good to compare see what you guys do out there & take some tips away from it. Good to see you both got slightly different lines in places too), this helped me get the slicks that much warmer & start riding at a more normal pace.

The bike feels like an 'extension' of me, if that makes any sense.
The front, just as Logan had said, is superb. The feel & the behaviour of those forks is meeean - it feels like it wants to lean lean lean & pull the rest of the bike around behind it where-ever it goes.
I backed off pre-load a turn, and upped compression 1 1/2 turns; both to help with my, ahem, lack of fatness & to slow the forks down under braking.

Ended up getting some EBC HHs from "Big Bikes" in the 'Tron. (Found them by accident; they gave me a v competitive price; and yes, I did go check with Boyds first...sucks having a conscience, d'unnit?!).

Slipper clutch took some getting used to; found myself feathering the clutch as per normal so I had a quiet word with myself to remind myself of the technologies on-board this awwwwesome bike!!! (which myself owns!!!).

Clutchless changes were by far the smoothest & so quick 'n slick; I'm stoked I learnt myself to ride race-pattern...Cool feeling to just go tap-tap-tap when snicking up thru' the gears
On the RF I'd have to get into 3rd thru' 2 & 3 & over Humpy, but the gixxer just sings along in 2nd beautifully; altho' I guess that could change if I swapped sprockets & dropped the gearing (as on the RF).

Love the slightly raspy growly induction sound too.
Goin' from steady to rolling-on the gas was a pleasantly smooth affair; there was no glitchiness or 'un-sureness'...just a nice steady progression & build of power & speed.

So yeh, hope that answers the many texts & emails!

Huge thanks to Alick for the trackday (lemme know when you want your garage done bro!) & G man for the impending arrival of his no-longer-required tyres! I'll be able to get her legal alot sooner than I tho't & hopefully get over to the Office to show her off

It's taken since '95, when I first saw one up close owned by my neighbour, but I finally got me a GSXR 750
