Thankfully no.

Maybe one day when both of your testicles descend you'll get to ride one :P :P :P


Yeah I know I am a girl and can't handle the power or razor charp handling of the ten like you can mate! :wink:

And MickC, just remember, I never initiated the challenge! It came from the said 12 rider himself! Unlike you, at least he had the Kahunas to have a lash!!!!!!! :lol:

And less than 2500 grand for yr 650 hey! Plus what you've hidden from the wife :wink: :wink:

Maybe I should've said "spent so far"...

...and like I said, we 10 riders have nothing to prove, whereas some of these 12 riders seem a bit insecure. They must be compensating for something :? :lol:

You can't use the terms 'BMW' and 'acceleration' in the same sentence....they are mutually exclusive.

What BMW's do is 'accumulate momentum'...... a bit like an SR250, or GS400........ :P

Yeah, but the BMW delivers that power in an even more linear fashion than both those bikes! :lol: Sure, the power is buttery, but it wouldn't spread far! :wink:

I've been fcuked around a bit by Motohansa. Friday they said just waiting on swingarm Bearings to complete it. They said, once we get the bearings, it can be done in an afternoon. He said Monday, or at worse Tuesday. I suggested Wednesday to give them plenty of time and booked a flight. The bearing then didn't arrive Friday, but they didn't inform me! I rang this morning to see what was going on, as I had already booked the flight. Still no bearing apparently! I called Procycles today who say they have them in stock. I call back to Motohansa to tell them I can have them couriered out. They then tell me the bearings have arrived, but now they can't complete it till friday!!! I have to be at work in Melbourne Friday, and then I fly to Brisbane on Sunday, so can't pick it up now till the 23rd! :roll: Bastard! :(

That wouldn't surprise you would it Marty.? :wink:
Good service from a lot of the motorcycle industry is like winning the Nigerian lottery. It all sounds good up front, but never comes out quite like you want.. :D

If you need a hand to pick it up or somewhere to store it till you can pick it up, let me know...

Thanks Dave, but the fuckin thing can stay there cluttering up their workshop, hooked up to the trickle charger, till I pick it up near the end of June! :twisted:

Wattie will look after it for ya mate. He needs something to keep the k's down on the Zeddy. It'll give him something new to try scraping bits off.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.
