Newbie from South Africa

Post by Dealcloser »

Hi all,

Im a newbie to the site so i just thought i should introduce myself! Im sure many of you are not liking SA right cause of the Super 14 results but im sure we will get along just fine! :D

Well i have a 2006 ZX10R that is prob one of the nicest looking Kawa's around! When i figure out how to upload photos ill be sure to post it. Im not new to road riding but my passion has been dirt riding. I am fortunate enough to have the best of both worlds! My other baby is a Honda CRF450R.

Last year when i started riding road i had a GSXR600 to start off with and then moved onto an R1! I must say i LOVE the Kawa 100000 0000000x better than the Yammie! People say im insane but its a fact! I was never a Kawa fan until i rode it! The green just didnt do it for me! My bike is green at heart but is pearl white with mat back inserts! A real beauty!

Well thats a bit about me! I hope i dont get too my flack being from SA. hahahaha!

the best way to upload pics is go to www.photobucket.com, make a free account, upload the picture, then use of the the linking codes provided (like the IMG code) or just post a direct link.
Let the good times roll.

No mirrors, numberplate down under the seat somewhere? :? Its also a 04 or 05 zx10 isn't it?

Not many Rugby fans around here mate. I used to play and think the last 10 years has turned the game into a farce with all its rules etc even I dont understand it anymore and I was a referee up until 2 years ago. Get into motoGP and WSBK, much more interesting ;)

G'day and welcome mate. As firey said, out here your bike is an 04/05 model. We call them Crims because you'll soon get locked up if you've got one. The 06/07's we call Gumbys because they're like...well .... a bit Gumby. Some love the look of them but a lot don't.

You won't get flack from being South African....now if you were South Australian, then you'd cop some shit. :)
