Nice, but what about the promised pictures of you doing your Power Range impersonation  ;D ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

You just trying to get my attention now ? and Green too ? Where and when did this one come along ?

Well I never................!

............ok, may be once, but nobody saw me.......... :D



Details Mark, we need details.....by the fairing, it looks to be in the 90's to me, but I could be wrong.....my bet it that it is capable of "doing the speed limit and nothing more officer".........

Just remembered........wasn't there something like a.... Fireblade in your mind in the past ?.....
I don't think they were Green, were they......this one must have been in good condition, for a good price, for you to go Green........

A green "Binky"! Congrats Mark and remember, always be aware of what the other idiots on the road are doing. Most accidents are not the biker's fault.  :)

Tis a '99 ZX7R Kawasaki Ken! I couldn't justify the insurance on a Blade to the missus and the Ninja is plenty fast enough for me.
Dave I agree about other road users. Some plonker in a Volvo was determined to take me out rather than let me filter through the stationary traffic this morning. Those new armoured gloves of mine are superb.... his wing mirror didn't stand a chance ;D ;D ;D

I thought I recognized the bike - 'tis a very similar one to a friend of mine a yr and a half ago.....his is gone now. A missed turn on a blind hill took care of that. So,...mileage ? The reason I ask, is because over here, 20,000km on a bike and all the new riders think the engine is done. My Bandit is just a tad over 65,000km and feels barely broken in now.  ::)

On the subject of filtering....too bad for us. Not allowed ! WTF ! ! !  >:(

On the general subject of riding - well you know....eyes peeled and take care my friend  8-)

Nice find !........so, essentially for it's age, it could be classified as a "new" bike .....
Now all we need is some better weather and you can bring us along with you on a ride(piccies)......something as provocative as a twistie mountain blacktop..........

Might as well have a "two Brothers" on there then.....I ride 50 yds behind a ZX-10 with one, and can't hear my own exhaust note !
Then again, my Bandit is barely more than an unplugged hoover at best.........
