New toy on the way (big cheesy grin appended here)

Postby greenman43 » Sat Nov 03, 2007 2:03 pm

Did the deal this morning at $15,750 on the road, picking up my new green '07 10 next Saturday - I'm so damn excited I can barely sit still :D

Cheers, and goodwill to all LOL

Do not walk behind me, for I may not be leading
Do not walk in front of me, for I may not be following
Do not walk alongside me, for the path may be narrow
Just piss off and leave me alone

Congrats Brian... I'll be interested to read your comparison between it and your last bike.. :-)
You may find the extra weight a problem.. ;)

The extra weight on me perhaps :oops: but sitting on the bike today I thought it has a very similar kind of feel to the old ZXR. Besides, the weight reduction campaign on the bike will start immediately ; when I bought the ZXR back in '95, as soon as I got it home from the shop I start pulling stuff off. This time, as a symbolic gesture, I'm going to take a couple of spanners along when I pick it up and start removing things before it even leaves the shop. Yes, I know :roll: it's obsessive, but what the hell.

My own personal weight campaign won't start until after Xmas though, too many Coronas are awaiting my attention :)

Cheers (hic!)

Thanks Neka, I'm pretty happy with it. I suspect there may have been another $1-200 out there if I'd kept shopping, but being able to forgo all the associated hassle and costs in fuel iand time was worth it to me.

Cheers,
Brian

A cunning plan Rob, except it's a bit too soon ; I've ridden a bike literally only once (80km or so on coubtry roads) in the last 3 years, so I think a bit more familiarisation time is in order before I get back to the track. But Jan or Feb looks real good :)
