Nah, if the 12 is a Land Barge, the 14 has to be something somewhat larger! Maasively larger! And a Yacht is only small, even a Maxi like Wild Oats.......So ......

Perhaps we could fuse the two genre? Maybe HMAS B-Double? Or Titanic 14? Hmas The Ghan! Or maybe you could call it the Paedophile as it sucks in small children? Or ...or....or....Fcuk..I'm tired...I think I'll go to bed now! 8)

yes go to bed Grandad, your early-onset Alzheimers is showing !! :lol:

the 12 is a SPORTS barge, not a farkin *land* barge :roll:

and as far as yachts are concerned, the Queen Mary 2 is classified as a *Yacht* and its a farkin huge one !! Barely 2m under the Sydney Harbour Bridge.......its about 8km long, and displaces 4 small african nations when cruising the Atlantic !!

Rope and pulleys from Bunnings

I am a little mystified about why there was/is such a limited choice of colours on the ZX14. I have just bought an 08 and went with the Silver, the dark blue doesn't look quite right and as for the flamed "limited edition", i wouldn't be caught dead paying an extra $500 for something my next door neighbours 5 year old could have done for free! I have just upgraded from a Ducati and fell in love with the ZX14 on the test ride so bought one on the spot. It is an absolute weapon and a dream to ride, fast or within the limits :twisted: Still waiting for the aftermarket pipes and air filter though. Can't wait for a ride through the Snowies over Easter.
If its worth doing its worth doing well and just remember, you may as well have fun doing it above ground coz you can't do it once your dead!

I am running pilot power 2ct at the moment and like them alot, they give you more cornering confidance than you have any right to have on a bike this size. There is a but though- they must be warm first and they don't like sand and gravel much either.

Power 2ct....fark you'd wear the sides of them out in 1000k's... :lol:

Regular Powers might be better for wear, and are still a shit hot tyre, but Im on Road 2ct's, they grip like shit to a blanket, plus heaps longer wearing.

I was running regular powers but they spin up to easy on corner exits, the 2cts I would say 2000 Km of twisties would see them out, but with a bit of touring and comuting they should see 5000 I hope :oops: They let you stomp everything on the sweepers :twisted:
