25,000 Kms already? but I dont wanna go home yet!
Hey all. Name's Jason Smith. I live in Mountie Countie, Mount Druitt. Few days ago I finally bit the bullet and asked the bank for a loan. lo and behold I end up with a zx-6 . After 3 years and 25,000 Km I decided that I had learnt most if not all that my gpx 250 could teach me. When the front tyre developed an anti-flat spot after 30 minutes of back street riding trying to keep up with my mates new R1, I figured I needed something with better tyre choice if nothing else. For a While there I thought I might have to settle for a GSXR. With the work that it had done to it, it was a far superior machine, especially down low. But then a friend from uni called me and said she wanted to sell her bike to help send her kid overseas. A weaker machine for $1000 more than what the suzuki was asking? Yeah, but its a ZX... What can I say?

G'day Jason & welcome to the Pleasuredome. Usual Neka warning regarding your other half (if any).
I've spent over 40 years of my life riding bikes .... the rest of it, I wasted ..
