Re: Rave for Collide-a-scope (Sydney)

Dumbest thing I have ever done: Bike parked on side of road up in the Snowy Mountains, a little downhill, not in gear, ground a little loose. I was waiting for my slower mates at the top of the climb to Cabramurra, just got ...

Re: New Tyres

The Bridgestone that came OEM with my 14 were utterly destroyed after 6K.
The Michelin Pilot Road 2 who came after that lasted me 15K !
After about 10K you could tell they weren't all that fresh but they were still good enough for another 5K. I am no kneedragger but I am not slow either (but ...

Re: Question re Pillion Comfort on ZX-14

the 14 is very comfy for both pillion and pilot. I used to ride a VFR (not a bad ride itself for passenger) and the missus like the 14 a lot more.
The seat is excellent, maybe legroom a little limited, could be a problem for tall pillions but otherwise no worries.
The 14 is so comfy that she dozes ...

Re: What's your bike??? (details and small pic )

Here is a picture of my baby, taken last year in Mount Hotham on the way down to Phillip Island.
A ZX-14, fitted with a pair of Akrapovic carbon, a Ventura bag and centerstand. Other than that she is standard (so far), with 22,000km on the clock after 15 months of ownership. Want to add Power ...
