Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

Wow I love the black exhaust and think it would suit all colours, mostly because the exhaust is actually the only silver part on the bike anyway besides brake/clutch levers. Spewing the 09 didn't have it because then I would have one now!

From the ABC website:

"Woman jailed for second fatal crash

A woman has been jailed for a month for her second fatal road crash in South Australia in seven years. M..., 37, pleaded guilty to driving without due care after crashing into a motorcyclist at Pompoota, near Mannum, in June 2007. She was ...

Kiwi! That's the one. I couldn't pick which accent it sounded like but knew it was something!

Shifty wrote: The bike puts down the power really wheel and wheelstands a lot less than the 12R...

Hehehe, really wheel? Hahaha, sorry.

I stand by my statement from last night that by getting the 14 without an R, you are one step away from being an old man Harley rider!

Shuuuuucks, thanks guys! Yes, I made it through Q-Ride last Monday and got my RE license, although let me assure you - it was not without hiccups!

I decided to take the zzr because I just wasn't confident doing my test* on a new bike and having to learn how to do figure 8's etc. on it. As it turned ...

What is a MOST test?

Hey Wayne, congrats on doing the ride thing. With practice you'll get your confidence up! (Does this forum sound like a broken record yet?)

Just some comments about some of yours:

1. 80kph is so fast!
2. Right hand went numb - had to do some finger movements to get the blood flowing.


Firstly ...

Don't worry, I'm just a retard and misread the bit I quoted! I read is as "turn right to go right" which obviously is anything but counter steering :roll:

Sorry for anyone I confused, Dale will be able to confirm that I do actually know what I'm talking about and that I taught her the right thing ...

Hi all, would like to pick your brains about the mean feat of executing a turn without running wide into the lane beside you!

Shifty took me out to the Jamboree this Sunday (was great fun, did anyone go?) and I rode all the way there on the zzr250 without any major dramas besides slipping in ...

thats why Kawasaki made push bikes!

We went to the Greazefest Hot Rod Show yesterday and they had some really ancient chariots and trikes and other sorts of pushies there. Didn't see whether any were kwaka's though... do they only make mountain bikes?

Hahaha, you still have your cheesy grin!

Thanks guys for all your replies! I'll definitely be posting up here with all of my questions and I hope to receive the same array of insight from all of you!

Continuing on with the stopping and braking theme, do you think boots make a difference?

The reason I'm asking is this. At present I wear a ...

Hey all, yay, a new section JUST FOR ME! Hahaha. Really though for new riders, it is scary trying to find somewhere in all the posts on the forum where you know a tiny bit of what is actually being said and then finding a place for you to actually say something too (longest sentence ever?). So that ...

J.B wrote:yeah I'm there 5 days a week, but I rode the pushy today.

So your profiley info says you're on a ZX6R? How long have you been riding, and what are you doing at GU?

Does anyone on this forum ride to Griffith University, Nathan Campus? Always see a few ZZRs parked there, particularly a beautiful white/gold one (not sure what size, still learning the nuances), but today I also saw a pretty silver and black one.

High fives for uni (student?) bike riders!
