No fraternising with the forum members :spank: :BLAA:
Now wolfy I can aim for you here....
Now that makes me jealous - being your own boss is the way to go, right Mike?2 more days of work for me, then i'm not back to work till the 23rd March
:cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:
Not long guys.
Good things come to those who wait
Mike took my baby to work again today - scrubbing those tyres. He likes the Z8s. Hopefully I will too :thumbup:

Fimally got round to sorting what tyres i am going to get today...set of Bridgestone BT016's, front & rear, $480 fitted.... That's good - my Z8's (incl. 90' valve stems, $630
Nearly decided to get Metzeler M3's, but apparently they dont warm up real good on cold days, and i hate cold, hard tyres!
As for patience Kazza....i was in my bed this morning, struggling to sleep, when the rewalisation hit me that you guys would be at our house next Tuesday, we are riding Wednesday, and Thursday we are off! I had a genuine moment of Panicky excitement!!! I'm with ya
Jess has her helmet now, and the bike is pretty much packed and ready to go!!!
Jess's pannier weighs 7.3kg's, mine weighs 8kg's, the top box weigh's 11kg's!!! So so far we have 26kg's of luggage!!! I reckon we will add about another 4-6kg's by the time we pack a pair of shoes each, toiletries, in the space left aside in the panniers, and top box, and we add a very lightly packed "Tank bag/day bag".
So all up, we will weigh about 190kg's on the bike, including luggage!!!! Sheesh! That's right on the FZ6 owners manual prescribed load limit!!!
Is about now i wish that i still had a stiffer rear shock...like my old Ohlins!!! My shock now and I'm not giving it up
I could always chuck Damien's rear shock in....might save a bit of wallowing when packed to the gills!!!
Am seriously considering getting a courier to lug all my gear from Hobart To Strahan on Day 6!!! 99 bends at 190 kg's on an FZ6 (That's 400kg all up people!) sounds like a great way to spoil a potentially great ride!
Next time i am organising someone to follow us in a Car! Great idea!
Just Mikes rear tyre to go and we're done :steve:
What tyres is Mike running??? I'm sure i have been told, but???
Running Roadsmarts on the mighty XJR :rockon:, and very happy with them. Give good feedback and get good mileage out of them.
Good call on not gettig the M3's. Have them on the Speedy (that's what it came with)and don't rate them that well. The only feedback i get from them is when they let go, mainly the rear.
Have had a few butt puckering moments gasing out of corners . Once we get back from our Tassie trip i'm gonna get rid of them.

I think I posted this once before,99 bends coming into Queenstown on the west coast of tassie,take notice that these guys can't ride either.Crossing double lines all the time !
YouTube- 99 bends
Jamie, when are you intending on doing this trip. Kazza and I are more than likely going to the Supers next year and I would love to tour around Tassie. I'm not sure she'd be up to riding though. She might just fly back to Perth after the supers, but I'd carry on to Tassie with the bike, or before the racing if that was the case. What sort of "sleeping" arrangements etc are you planning? I'm not too keen on camping, as it means that I have to carry more crap over from Perth.
Well, you've got my permission, not as though you really needed it.....
Have you got a definate date yet ?? Both Kel & I are keen so i guess there is no harm in asking the boss for a holiday :thumbup:
