Im still not as old as Glen

Postby fireyrob » Sun Jan 29, 2012 6:28 pm

So I sold the zx6r roady (I have a feeling they are slightly excited) and was kinda in the market for a dirtbike. Then I thought wtf I live in the inner burbs and the boys are back at childcare while the Mrs is back earning the greenback (finally woohoo!!!!!) and I get some weekday ridedays back :) Its time to get naked. The budget wasnt there for much but this seemed more than worthwhile :kuda:


This popped up in Victoria and with lots of advice (Thanks Phil, Wattie, Hoffy and some other PM's) and a couple of legends from Vic willing to help (Thanks to the lovely couple Billy & Stace) :kuda: Yes Phil its no ZRX but then again its the next best thing :lol:


The bike has been washed meticulously but with no attention to any detailfrom its previous owner such as grease, lube, oil changes, old tyres but comes with a few little goodies. So it seems it needs some TLC, tyres and some kays under the belt! I went for a Wes Cooley run and couldnt stop grinning!!!!!


Am hoping to have her ready and on the road to get up to Gingers but hopefully alot sooner. The dirt bike isnt out of the picture totally, just not yet ;)

Now what makes you think the person buying your 6 is excited!!!!!

Congrats Firey I am stoked you stayed with a roady, means you can give me tips on riding the 6 and I got one more bud to ride with on the road yay. :D

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

All good Phil. Checked this arvo and its there :D It just seemed the previous owner had NFI what he had. He admitted he rode approx 3000km in the last 4 years since he bought it and I thought 5000 a year was bad :shock: But thats gonna change :twisted:
