awsome bike looks tops......plenty of fun to be had with that beast

Isn't it illegal for anybody but a licensed roadworhty tester to inspect a bike?
Took her in for a roadworthy and the guy reckons the rear is not roadworthy

It is a mm above the wear indicators and he reckons it should be 1.5mm, I printed the reg's and showed him and he said
"I'll have to wait for the licensed guy to come in a sign off on it".
Turns out the licensed guy is in Melb for training!!! And the Bastard never came back b4 5 o'clock so I have to go back at 9am tomorrow

Second time this shop have farked me around with a RWC
Not happy Jan and they will learn just how unhappy tomorrow morning

Fuckers have taken the shine right off it

Well almost

i thought the 1.5mm was from the bottom of the tread, not the indicator.

ie when the indicator touches the ground, tyre rooted.

good to mechanics in aust leave it to anyone to pass the rego's...that makes me feel safe.
not saying the 14 is "un safe" or anything

Thats exactly right as I showed him in print.
He's not even licensed thats why he doesn't know.
He does the inspections and the licensed guy just signs it

I will not be buying a new tyre from them and if they stuff me around in the morning I
am going to Vicroads to report their illegal practices

Glad you got rid of the P.O.S ZZR (just kidding

)

Looks friggen sweet

Looks awesome mate. Good to see you liked the name suggestion too.

The issue with the rego will fade into insignificance once you take her out of town and open her up. There's nothing like taking a new bike out for your first ride on it.

ZZR is gone......but I had to ride 25 klm's in the rain to deliver it because the 65 yr old
who bought it brang a trailer to pick it up and..........it didn't fit

Oh well it was good to have a last ride on the old girl

I could feel the torque riding the 14 home but it was very wet so I couldn't give her a decent rev up.
Gimme a sunny day please please please
