[Gix11]

Welcome aboard Russ. I'm sure there is someone from here near you. I like the way you choose which bike your missus is getting next. Excellent work. Make it a black one mate.

[03gixxerpilot]

G'day mate welcome aboard and enjoy the madness

[russo]

cheers thanx guys well she actually picked it out but the more i see them the more i like em.

[WATEVR]

welcome to the madness russo and good choice with the kwaka( better than one of those.. cough suzuki cough..). does the missus actually know this is what she getting!!

[next_fighter]

Hey Russo, welcome mate.

Z1000 are a nice ride.

I will be regretfully selling my '05 soon. Keep an eye out in the bikes for sale section.

I'm hoping to sell it in the next two months if not sooner, for $11,500 ono with reg till Jan 31 2008 and 12 months factory warranty (was first reg in Jan last year)

Foxy! You Streetfighter mad bastard! Is this because of your recent purchase? You going all the way?

[Matt]

Good choice with the Z mate, they are a fun bike!

[zx12argh]

hey hey welcome
I've only ever ridden the z750 but fuck me it left me with a smile ear to ear. Just do youreself a favour (or your missus) put a new can on it.

[russo]

yeah i got my plan laid out for when i get it but might be further off than i had hoped. so in the mean time was looking at soing a zx9 as i think i can have
it to a reasonable stage for like half the $$of just buying the z1000, plus its my first attempt so i need something to break myself in on,
ive seen some decent ones in here, you guys know how to build decent bikes il give yas that!!

Trying to buy a house mate, working a way out to have a bike for AFR or I'll be taking the subaru.
One or another I will be at the AFR. Anyone need a very fucked up kidney??

I've still got to send those stickers off to you too mate. haven't forgoten just haven't had time to get the PO, will send asap.

Still got the project bike, and yes i am trying not to cut corners. I have a vision, and I will achive it despite being broke!!!

Hey russo, i'm still a bit of a newbie and you're right, if u want to build a fighter, this is the place to be. Nice choice with the Z, i gota bit of a soft spot for them too, my last bike was a standard 2001 ZX9, scared the shit outa me a few times....if u r thinking of doing a ZX9, the link below is for "Hillsy" who bought his from the auctions.......

[russo]

[Iceman]

[russo]

[Iceman]

Every Friday is open practice.

[catchmeifyoucan]

do you need a current license for open practice at winton???

[russo]

how much do you need to have race leathers do you need a special licence lke the andra one in drag racing

[catchmeifyoucan]

the track days at phillip island ive been to, you pay for one day M.A. license, i think its about $50... but at calder park drags you dont need any license at all..

[Iceman]

Have a look in the Vic events area, we're try'n to orginize a track day and party. There's a link to Winton raceway there.
