normally i would have to do that too but Ive discovered lately that if i dont tell her about it then i dont have to hear about it
it doesnt work of course cause as soon as she finds out i cop it then

So Jase, you're saying a "Re-active" battering is more efective than a "Pro-active" battering - cause you end up with the item (exhaust in this case)?
I may just subscribe to your theory...
If it turns to shit though, i'm sleeping on your new couch.

pesonnaly i've never found it to work. i've gone from "no way your getting a zrx12" to "well if you can find one at the right price" in a matter of weeks - its all about pointing out the advantages
giving up a vice or two doesnt hurt either

yep a reactive beating is better cause when she finds out and has the shits at me i can take off on the bike and enjoy the thing that got me into the shit in the first place

*chortle*
i guess being allowed to buy something as long as it doesn't screw up any bill payments is a good thing
.
Then again i didn't ask permission to buy the latest bike, i just said i'm getting one, you want to help me look & give your input? or am i goin' by myself? (queue a really cheeky grin and me wearing running shoes "in case" )

i emailed that indy superbike supply and they wont tell me a delivery price.
basically you have to submit your order first. so they can get fucked. they are likely to bill me another $200 for postage.
i reckon its gotta be JC motorcycles.
And Neka - i wear the pants in our relationship - but only when she isnt around.... and if she finds out i said that then im fucked

I reckon your right !
They are really good to deal with, very fast turnaround, and you get what you pay for.

have got the akra ti slip-on for the 06 636
no complications in terms of fitting the original plate holder/original indicators- tho i opted for the fender eliminator and LEDS.
i ordered mine from
http://www.starcycle.com
they were having a sale at the time and were the cheapest going- turn around was damn good.

coming from a bike with a loud exhaust, i am very happy to say that the stock muffler on the 05 636 is beautiful. i get to hear the engine and the sound that comes from the muffler is perfect with abit of a howling noise to it. sometimes i wish i had a nice akrapovic on mine when i want to show off but i personally i love it stock.

For the arrow slip on im about to buy, Indysuperbike quoted me $115 US to ship to Adelaide through USPS (includes transit insurance/guarantee) or $65 US through UPS (no insurance/guarantee).
So it can cost as little as $65 US but if something happens to your goods in transit then you may be up the creek.
Even so, I can get the arrow 350mm slip on (which I cant even find in Australia!) to my door for about $620 through USPS. The Aussie dollar is strong(er) at the moment so not a bad time to buy.
