There used to be a K5 gixxer thou running around unmarked. I would imagine its lease would be up and would be long gone by now.

1x Med T-Shirt please

Come on Andi, I've got mine down to a 3 or 4 hour job now. Just make sure you put the reed valves back in the right way and be sure not to snap cam cover bolts with shitty torque wrenches

hmm wot abt the 99?? im a fan of those....

The '99 was just a graphics update of the '98, whilst a great bike, I personaly think that it was just a stepping stone that finished with the '02. I listed the above because the '96 was revolutionary, the '02 a final draft of a model progression.

Not ...

correct, my '02 636 has carburettor :(


Why the unhappy face? Would you prefer a "first gen" FI setup with all the little bugs and problems that they eventually iron out with model updates. Our (yep have an '02 as well) bikes have one of the best carb setups around and outright (not peak ...

A little birdie told me .......

Dunno where your little birdie got his info from but I can refute it. Travel through the Tulla one every day and have never seen any work on the gantries apart from the odd bit of maintainence, certainly no new boxes to measure speed, and no wires running through ...

Do I take it then that these aren't operating yet? Because when I was howling back from the supers on Monday I slowed for each camera but was averaging way over 110. I then started thinking, shit I hope these aren't point to point.

Do you also get a fine for each point to point?

There's a little confusion there, "Omeo Rd/Great Alpine Way". Now which one is it? The Great Alpine Road from Wadonga to Bairnsdale (via Omeo), or the Alpine Way from Khancoben to Berridale?!?!?

Now that I have done more of the listed roads, I'd have to vote for a non listed one!!

Alpine Way for me at the moment

Heard all the stories at work tonight. Apparently he was doing considerable[\b] speed at the time. Had already low sided it by the time he got to the pole, which sliced the lowers of his legs off. Was still coughing and spluttering when the ambos arived a few mins later but after a few minutes the ...

Talk about thread digging

Paper said it happened around 11:50pm, thats about the time I was finishing up in the garage, I'd say its beyond probable that it was the same guy I heard. It was a warm night too so knowing what most people wear on bikes around here it probably wasn't much. The ambo station is only 300 metres away ...

While I was out in the garage that night the only sound to be heard was a bike running back and forth "practising" clutch up monos. They obviously need "practise" because they were having 3 or 4 attempts every time. They were running it out through 3 or 4 gears too, so the speeds would have been ...

If you are making a mistake like locking up the rear, I strongly recommend you go to PI and do a superbike school or something.....

Riding well is not just about getting around corners quickly, it is more important to make good decisions when you are in an emergency situation...



I'm not ...

I also hope that you teach them to apply the rear, fractionally prior to applying the front!

Applying the rear fractionally before the front causes the rear to squat slightly, thus as Tones so rightly says, lowers the centre of gravity. It also brings the weight bias slightly towards the rear in ...
