to ride the z1000
turns up at my place this afternoon after doing a scouting run for OSB, his bike is leaking oil everywhere, including all over the back tyre
The ride is on tomorrow, and he needs a bike and he's not insured to ride the zx6 ..
I think he sabotaged the zx7
(only joking)

I figured out there was oil on the tyre when i gassed it coming out of a corner and i did my best rodeo ride inpersonation.
Caught it just .......more arse than class though.
I took it nice n steady after that and will investigate further by pulling the fairings off etc tomorrow arvo(get to ride a z1000 now).

Ah just wipe it with a rag and jump right back on.....
Seriously though good luck with fixing it, needs to be in top shape for when it becomes your race bike.

insured??
odd concept
One day I'll crash my bike into someones mercedes SK55 AMG and I'll be screwed....if i survive.
But till then may all my crashes be on the track where i aint covered anyhoo

Yep, nobody but me is insured for the zx6, and the zed because it's a different company other riders are allowed *occasional usage*..
I only found that out on tue and now his bike is broken and we have a ride today...
