Now now everyone knows the blackun's are fastest, and i think the puddle is actually where I wet myself after my 1st ride in 3 yrs 
RSV shock turned up yesterday, in fairly good nick considering it was pretty cheap, only the rebound adjust has lost it's clickyness, so gonna drop that into revs hopefully today and get it serviced, swingarm should be here today, just need those damn linkages.

Hey
Gday Zhaith!
I seem to remember that the last time I saw you was at the Renegade shindig just down from Brands. Wasn't it you that I rode down with, and Darren?
Welcome back!
Yes, I've still got mine. Went for an MOT this morning and passed with flying colours, had to put the standard cans and plate back on though. Sheesh it sounds rubbish with the standard cans...

hehe indeed it was I :), finally got her back on the road after about 3 years, now that i have a sensible job that don't involve travelling silly miles all over the country :), I'd forgotten how much like a lawnmower the standard zorsts sound like thankfully the rene's are back on :)
Now all i need is to learn how to ride again (not that I was ever any good
).
Got her some new boots as the old sportec's basically went from about 3mm of treas to bald in about 500 miles, guess they didn't like the 3 year holiday anymore than me, so treated her to some diablo's which seem a shiteload better, certainly turns quicker just need a few more miles to scrub em in.
Seriously thinking about level 1 california superbike school next year, but for now i'll settle for just trying to get used to riding again, and not to whimp out as much as i'm currently doing in the twisty bit's :)
Glad your still about and haven't been tempted away from the falco :)
last wee update, got most of me gear for the swinger conversion, just need the linkages, then it and me wheels will be off to aerocoat for a nice coat of powder as soon as the weeather turns to crap (well crappier than it already is, just not sure wether to go for matt, gloss or a nice metallic black, probably metallic hopefully get it matched to the bike as near possible :)
