Geetings from the land of the long white cloud
Hi All,

I have only recently dicovered this site, and me having the bird for nearly three years (Shame on me!!).

She's a 2006 model though registered on 07, Silver and Grey.

Done what appears to be the same mods as all of you guys, the 4 into 1 Yoshi pipe, K&N Filter and Power Commander also the spacer in the rear shock.

Had her out on a few race tracks, not much can beat her on the straight but those with bigger man bits beat me round the corners, that's not to say I don't get any lean on as the worn down hero blobs will testify to.

I look forward to all the greif I will no doubt get from you guys and will post a profile photo when I can get a good one!!

Cheers

Hi Shewie,

Australia is at the other end of a really long bridge, even the bird won't make it on a full tank......

Hi X1rider,

There is a word that sounds similar to cupped and would be much closer.

Gidday from Coromandel! I'm wondering whether I met you in Coro once. There were two identical silver/grey bikes parked up outside Umu cafe and I spoke to the owners. Sold my bird now after 8 years of ownership but still look in occasionally to see what the inmates are up to!

G'day Coromandel, I don't think it was me that you were talking to but I would be happy to have a chat any time I am out your way, got to love the loop around the 'mandel. I wish I had the time to ride it more often.

Thanks to all for the welcome, look forward to getting stuck into the site.

Chris
