First time caller....

Post by keagan »

Hey all.

My name is Keagan. I have been riding for 2 years now, and am up to my third Kawasaki.

First was an '89 GPX250 that I bought back up to scratch. The thing was rock solid, but unfortunately I made a schoolboy error and put too much faith in a oil filter oring that was likely as old as the bike. It split as 110km/h. Enough said.

Second is my 2000 zzr250. It has been a great bike, with only 30thou on the clock. It is up for sale in the classified section if you want to check it out. Really low maintenance, I just get on and it gets me everywhere every day.

I have recently upgraded to an ER6n *cough* L *cough*. Despite its looks I am in love with it and really could not fault it against the competition in its weight class. It feels great to go from a small 4 to a big 2. At the moment it's totally stock, but I've got some big plans to turn it into a great weekday commuter + weekend tourer.

Here is the mandatory pic to prove it exists.
