Re: Hello all from downtown bris

Yes we are fortunate that we can get value out of 12 months rego, unlike our friends down south.
I am not sure how they do it sometimes. I occasionally complain about our pseudo-winters up here :) .
Yes i can definitely see how you would be a danger to yourself and the greater public by sporting a ...

Re: Hello all from downtown bris

I do miss the area. You forgot Stanley River Rd.
I just spent all my childhood days on the southside and ...

Re: Insurance for my new ride

At last i have found the time and the money to finally insure my bike.
The best price / flexibility / policy came back to "insure my ride", all done over the web.
Hopefully i will never have to use it, but you never know, do you?? :roll:

Re: Hello all from downtown bris

Welcome aboard mate.

The '12 wouldn't happen to be blue would it?

It was bought from over your way, i gather you may have seen it in your travels.... 8).
Maybe we should discuss a ride at some ...

Re: Quiet Helmets ???

20 years of motorcycling and numerous helmets over the years, i am fooked if i can find a quiet one. In saying that, they definitely have improved over the years.
I now use an i-pod or ear plugs, both of which have their downfalls.
Good luck in your quest for the ever elusive 'quiet helmet' mate.

TT600, VTR1000 Firestorm, BMW K75 (still have this 1, it is now ...

Re: Insurance for my new ride

Thanks all for the feedback.
I have collected the bike now and am very keen for a descent ride, however the weather here in bris is not real rider-friendly and looks like it may stay this way for the next week.
Oh well it gives me plenty of time to organise the insurance.
I have been gathering some ...

Re: interested in buying the fireblade

Hey 98ninja,
I feel that is a very well worded reply, it is clear and straight to the point.
Wouldn't it be nice to get your hands on one of those scamming little grubs.
I hope the sale goes through smoothly for you.
