Tales of the Mighty ZZR250

Post by seraph »

So I decided to go for a bit of a trip on my zzr250... to the tune of over 7000km's in 15 days, through 4 states and a territory :mrgreen: had a blast, don't ever let anyone tell you a 250 can't handle the long haul (well, so long as it's a kwaka ;) ) My staunch little machine held up admirably to the thrashing I gave it - no dramas, and I had so much fun that only some misplaced work ethic brought me home at all :roll: (and I ran out of munny :lol: ) Thanks to everyone who offered a place to kip, advice and support along the way, whether I took you up on it or not :) There is -nothing- in the world like the cameraderie between riders :partyman: -J.

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?

:shock: good question - Did you stay at Neka's ???? Would have been a *very* small service in that case......:P
