    Took the gixxer for a run last night... Hmm quick sum up .. quick.

    Not really my style, a bit too extreme for me. - I'd need about 4 days
    with the kiro after doing a run to sydney on it.

    It was bloody nice though - 26K - had cruise control, absolute mint
    condition and had been babied by the looks of things, and jeez it was
    quick. - did i mention it was quick?

    Im probably gonna be looking for more of the sport tourer/UJM. John,
    Your bandit sound very interesting, What are you asking for it?

    Im sure ill be heading down to sydarney sometime soon. I'll drop you a
    line when im getting there next and have a look.

    On todays list to check out, the duc 600ss - yeah it may be "slow" and
    and duc but there summit about duc's that appeal.

    Cheers

    Umm well I was being entirely opportunistic when I mentioned it so I
    have no idea, yet :) Email me on this address (minus the blatantly
    obvious spam trap) and we'll converse.

    Somewhat more than 3.50andakickindanutz but I don't have unrealistic
    expectations of its value.

    You're in Port aren't you ? The old man is not far from there, I might
    kill two birds with one stone and drop in on you both.

    An excuse to ride the Oxley and Thunderbolts can never be knocked back :)

  3. G'day Emu, howthefarkareya and good luck in your quest for another ride.
    Smack's 600 and my Harley make beautiful noise together but don't let that
    put you off! Speaking of Ducs, is that Sicoh mate of yours still around?

    Nice modesty but I don't think so :)
    It does take time to adjust to a bigger bike - the little Z is very
    confidence inspiring

    (g/f and sister passed their Ls Tuesday so I'll get back to you on the Z
    shortly)
