OMG!! How AWESOME are Zed's??!!!!

Postby Ali600+150 » Sun Nov 02, 2008 6:36 pm

HEAPS COOL AWESOME, thats how awesome!

I took my new toy out for a spin today for my first 'real' ride on him. We headed up the old road to Road Warriors for brekky then up to Wollombi for lunch. I have NEVER had so much fun on a bike!

I've just changed bikes from GSXR600, whose sole purpose in life was turning me into an old woman.....well, thats how I felt each time I rode it (ok, well maybe its my old bones at fault and not the GIX but hey!!). I did a few hundred km's today and NO PAIN!! Yippeeeee - I'm just a TAD excited!

The front end is an absolute mother and produced a few nasty tank-slappers and the back end threw me over the handlebars a few times but Zeno will sort that out for me I'm sure (if I ask nicely enough).

But seriously, why hasn't anyone told me how much fun Zed's are until now????????????????

I've come home and set a reccuring diary event for every Sunday in my diary from next weekend until he end of 2014 to ride 'KWAK' - I want MORE!! The only exception will be in Winter 09 when it goes to the painter for a customised paint job (anyone know a good custombling bling painter in Syd?).

Anywhoo - thats my excited rant over. I'm off to dream about next Sundays ride..............

Did I see you at the Mobil at Berowra this morning? I grabbed some cash from the ATM and was parked near the door when somebody on a black z7fiddy was fueling up. I was on the green 03 zx9r.

Anyway, glad to hear you're hooked on your new steed. Maybe you can join us for the regular Sunday PITS run one weekend too.

but thats the thing, its more satisfying with less - well different HP. The ZRX is a perfect example, 120 rwhp, lots of torque - makes for interesting riding. Ground clearance will always be a problem at the track, rearsets may help but I dont particularly want to be uncomfortable 99.8% of the time for a lttle more clearance.

Besides, gotta love a sparky show ;)
