Not that I'm counting.
Hey guys! Been riding a ZZR-250 for the last year which unfortunately got written off in a smidsy incident on a few weeks ago (driver changed lanes with out checking).
The ironic thing was that I had paid for my post lams bike the day before, a 2010 ZX6R. Unfortunately I can't ride it (legally) so have put it in to storage so I can't be tempted.
Either way only 1 month 18 days until I am back on 2 wheels, in the mean time might do some tinkering. Ordered a few things already will post up some pictures of the bike next time I head up to my family place to admire and sit on it making revving noises
Cheers

Welcome,
Spend money on rider training/track days and less on mods.

Thanks guys
@Mel: sure is!
@blackster: Your definitely right. I've already done 3 rider training days with HART and stay upright. CSS is on the books once I get used to the difference between 600 and the 250

Welcome to the forum, nice bike, I'm sure a few guys on here would love to keep it turned over while you wait to ride it

This phenomenon keeps happening. It really is amazing how accommodating some of my riding mates have become since I found my self in the predicament!!

Gday and welcome mate. Beautiful bike you've got waiting for you in a month....and 17 days now

. Well done fighting the temptation to go for a blat too, it must be a killer. Coming of the ZZR you'll love the 600. Once you're mobile again get onto some rides. Cheers

Yeah I rode it around the block a few times (couldn't help it!

), recognised instantly that it was a completely different beast. Will definitely be easing in to it.
Thanks for the warm welcome guys
