Hey Stompy, great bike or what! I got a black one (well it was black 8 weeks ago when it went to get fixed) and I love it. I have heard that a decent exhaust and power commander can be worth around 7 or 8 hp but apart from that not much seems to have been done on them. As for mods to avoid, think ...

Dont say that Jonnie! Theyre the ones charged with fixing the Z! They did bend the chain adjusters, scratch the swing arm on the old GS but they did fix both no questions asked.

Is it me, or does it seem wrong to not send everyone else gear out even though they have been paid for?? Ive owner/operated business's before and done plenty of bulk orders and sometimes you gotta take a small hit in the interests of the greater good. Not saying they are dodgy, just not happy about ...

Sorry but I reckon 4 - 7 weeks is a joke. Get em to get bits off a demo bike and let them sweat it out! Can you imagine the stink that would arise if car drivers had to wait a month for parts? Puuuhhllleeezzee.

Crashing sucks mate but glad to hear you are OK. And NEVER trust a taxi driver. Reminds me of a joke. At the start of the gulf war saddam said he was going to enact trade sanctions against Australia... he was going to stop the supply of taxi drivers. As soon as I see one without a fare my whole body ...

I did something similar in Pitt St when some scooter wally parked directly in front of me, no way to get around. Do you know how heavy a honda scooter thing is when you are dragging it into the middle of the road in summer, so you can get your bike out? It was so heavy and I was so tired, I had to ...

When I used to have a rally car a fellow competitor spent thousands of $$ gettting the lightest and the latest. I had to laugh cause his navigator weighed in at over 120kgs, therefore replacing all the lost weight in one fell swoop. :lol:
