I just wanted to say...

That I thought I loved my bike before, but now that she and I have been through a mega road trip together, I love her more than I can put into words!! love4.gif

The ZZR600 is a perfect bike for long and short distances. Surprisingly, my arse was not sore after so many hours in the saddle (and that was without a sheepskin cover).

Go the ZZR600!!! :D

Congrat's on the trip.

Referring back to one of my previous ramblings, I reckon you're spot on. The ZZR600 is just about the perfect all rounder.

How far were you getting on a tank full? A little further than the 200 you get out of a 10 I presume, although on the 10, 200klms is a good distance for a break.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

Thanks everyone, yeah I am pretty happy with that effort and have definitely got the bug for more road trips!

Mick, I didn't take a large number of pics (was too busy riding, lol), but the ones I did take are in my post about the road trip and in the ride report from last Saturday's Healesville run.
