new toy that i didn't get case closed still have my kwaka

Would I be correct in assuming Rod meant a permanent holiday in Perth

i might even travel interstate soon who know's .

I heard that Perth is a good place this time of decade.

Nah, Perth has reaalllyy boring roads....

well done. They are pretty bad in these parts also.

I'm still a learner / p plater don't wanna go anywhere out of the way, somewhere easy to get to for starters.

i know i own hondas but im not here to judge
i just want to comment and ask you what really made you want this bike, im not saying that this bike ant any good, i havent seen any info on them theres a write up in next months motobike mag that im waiting for
but everytime i spoke to you, you made it really clear you loved you zxr2fiddy, n i dont blame you there a great "rev its tits off" bike that look the goods
now a question about the bike have you got any specifications on the bike for us, and is it restricted like the vfr's and rvf's so it learner legal?
and how is it restricted?
cheers Tim

I hope I don't sound like a soft-cock, let's-cuddle, tea-drinking type of person from this post but here goes nothin'...

give the kid a break, anyone else comes on here and proudly posts up their new ride, everyone is cheering and congratulating, not bagging the poor bastard to hell and back... Hell I didn't test ride or even SEE the particular 12 I bought before I paid for it in full, but I still love it to pieces though I'd be hard pressed to justify the purchase even now. I challenge anyone here to tell me they fully researched and justified every bike acquisition... half of the fun is the discovery, Brendan's new bike may not be perfect but it's probably going to put a great big smile on his face and THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. When all is said and done, his bike is his best friend and it sounds like he needs it... so can I suggest that y'all take your personal gripes as far as they are justified but please PLEASE don't make the poor lad feel that he's made a mistake purchasing his new bike or that he should feel ashamed of his choice, because that's below the belt.

Brendan, congratulations on your new ride. Have fun!

Hey here's my new toy 08 honda cb400 super four , i know for shame it's not a kwaka but i luv her, it's a pic of what she look's like, soon to take piccies of my own. But iám planning to get another kwaka in the future.

Brendan, run your own race as they say. I like the pics of the CB400, it may not be the most sensible decision money wise especially when you may feel like trading her up for a 600 shortly, but you know we all started in this game going against the advice of other people who 'knew better'. If I had the money myself there would be the 2008 Fireblade in my garage truth be known. (alongside a few Kwakers of course). Enjoy it. We might see you down Nahso sometime.

what happened brendan?? you didnt get it??

yeh they don't let learners test ride , most places don't, don't worry it doesn't take much to impress me, especially choosing bikes, i'm happy with it. Yes i know this is inexperienced talking but i know i've made the right choice.

MMMMM I pretty sure I test rode on my L's and I would never buy a bike unless I rode it. Which brand of bike would say that their Bike is bad in the brochure!How do you know it suits you To be honest I think your mad for buying a bike you haven't ridden

Won't be getting it anymore, can't afford it because i don't make enough to pay it off so they didn't approve it, oh well i'm still happy with my kwaka 250 , just need's a few thing's fixed on it, like my head light stupid thing turn's off sometimes then turn's on again now and again , must be a loose wire or something, and probaly fix the shock's and also getting new tyres for it. So you'll see me on my 250 for quiet sometime to come. The reason i went ahead with trying to get a new bike was because my bikes old and i'm finding to many thing's starting to f...up on it, and getting sick and tired of fixing or replacing part's on it. Oh well it must be done it's all in the learning progress with owning a bike and being a nubie.

brendan- your headlight turning on and off, thats a problem yes,
shocks- are easy i have all the tools (you need a "special tool") i can help you reseal and oil them (front)
rubber- if your on a budget i have some cheap tyres for the 2fiddy

these problems are minor buddy, you should think yourself lucky ay lolz
cheer up it ant a bad bike
cheers Tim

Thank's tim i know didn't say it was a bad bike , i still luv it to bit's don't worry bout tyres i'm getting new gpr alfa 10's very soon, and shock's that will be great if you can help me out fixing them, and about the head light i''ve got it booked in for next wed so they can fix the problem. cheers brendan
send us a pm so we can organise a day about the suspension treatment.

you have been "getting" new tyres for bout 1 months now
to get the forks off easier the front nose will have to come off (saves damaging it in any way) so it would be easier to look at the front light then if ya wanna save some more coin.
if we cant fix it then you can always take it to the shop
oh n do u think im doin this outa the goodness of my heart???????

I know bout tyres i'm serious getting them in a week or 2, and i know about you helping me thank's , how much you want? and pm me for more detail's about planning a day for it. cheers brendan

fork oil, 5w , $20
