Nice bike....

That's a really steep hill you're riding up there.

Congrats Vivek. Looks like a nice ride. I'll look forward to a ride with you in the future. Maybe like before, Diamond Creek to Reefton, via Marysville. Cheers

Yes Joe. We should do a ride again soon. My skills have improved from the last time you saw me. I am still slow and cautious but not excruciatingly painful to ride with

If Strika is happy with your riding, I suspect you are riding better than me.

I was feeling really good on the 250 before I crashed. The crash is sort of playing on my mind a bit atm.

Also extra power and grip on the zx6 is something I need to get used to. I reckon I'll be slower than I was on the 600 for a while, just owing to self-correction.

Are you keen riding around Flowerdale, yea, strath creek area?

Crashes do that mate and it will pass in time, it will pass quicker if you work on it and get out there and ride, take it from me a bit of on-track work helps this along nicely

Did they have Photo shop back then????

Nah mate, thems just "Olds kool" leather knee sliders! I can wear the plastic stuff, but, I really like the leather ones. I never knew they smoked like that though till I saw that pic!

Absolutely Vivek. Just one small catch. Can't do it until the body and bike are healed.
I put the REX down the road on an MSR ride near Loch in South Gippsland one week before your mishap. My body's still not ready for riding and I haven't been physically able to get the bike quoted for repair and get the insurance sorted.
I'll keep you posted. Bike is cosmetic damage only.

Sorry to hear mate

Not cool at all. I was lucky to get away unscathed. Heal quick and hope to see you on the road again soon. Send me a PM whenever you're up for a ride.
