Its just as easy as the Ls

Unless you get some retard lightbox operator who waits until you're way over the line before choosing which direction he wants you to take, making the counter steer nearly impossible. Almost failed because of that fuckhead.

I meant bit early booking for a test over 2 months away..

Birds - whats the longest trip you've done on your bike? is a 2 hour trip even possible on a super sport riding position?

Yeah it's plenty possible, it does depend on the specific bike and your own physical strength, though. Some supersport bikes are more comfortable than others for extended ride times, e.g. GSX-R1000 vs Ducati. The most common complaint for riders seems to be lower back or wrist and shoulder pain. I never get lower back or shoulder pain, but both of these are strong points from my exercising, which you probably also have, whilst a lot of riders who don't exercise, won't. I do get sore and numb wrists/hands after extended periods, but this has improved heaps the more I ride and it goes away the moment you stand up / hop off the bike.

When I head up to the mountains its usually an hour of constant riding which doesn't leave any lasting fatigue. The longest trip I've done was about 3 hours of riding with some breaks. I was pretty wrecked after that...but it was when I first got the bike, so I may have just been getting used to the riding position. There are core strengths for riding that you can't develop any other way than to just ride and get used to it.

tl;dr you'll be enjoying the bike too much to care about the pain!

So you lot - what haven't any of you kicked in??

I'm just waiting for my PayPal to clear and I'm chucking $100 in.

It's tax deductable as well people - Even if it's only $20, get behind it i say!

I have... $50 that was sitting in my monster acct.

called aaron a week ago when the committee mail was going around about it :)

Cancer hasn't done anything for me lately, I'll be damned if I'm going to give money to it.

I'm a pretty regular donator of funds to charities, particular cancer research...so it's not that I'm being a tight ass...I just believe in reasonable limits for donations etc. If I can find space in my budget I might make a donayshun.

Ye thats fair enough.

But i bet the vast majority of others here - do not :)

So pony up $20 each you guys. If in 10 years you have issues with cancer, you'd wish everyone else would've chucked in some cash sooner for a possible cure/better chance @ life etc.

I get pretty tired after a hour, never really been on long trips with the bike that being said I'm sure you could do a decent trip with a few small breaks

i see

sounds good :thumbsup:

My mate was telling me something about gixxers vs the R6/R1 in regards to riding position...something about the gixxers being better?-

Gixxers are reputedly the most comfortable supersports. Have heard R1 are the most comfortable/accommodating for tall guys.

    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed
