250's are awesome.. Especially when you're on a 600+..
I was riding along with a guy on a 250.. he was giving it too it at every set of lights... You know those crap runs you get where every light turns red (No toilet jokes here).. Well after a while i thought i'd fuck with him... took off let him get ahead.. mind you he's going as fast as his little Cibee Aghh can go, and popped it up on 1 wheel and zooooomed past him..
The guy was a character, next set of lights we had a chat.. he couldn't wait to get of his restrictions to get a bigger bike.. yes I bit my tongue, cause this was about 6 months ago...

Jeesus if i hit those type of revs on my beastie 900 i'd be scrapin the brown stuff outa my pants...
Seriously I can't get to the dizzy heights of those revs without riskin life and limb or the License...
One day I would like one of the boy racers amongst you to take the beast for a spin to see if/what it needs cos I may be getting old but it still seems to flog... It's just a heavy mutha..
cheers

I'm still waiting
They said a few days and they meant it, its the third day today, they've had an afternoon and 2 full days so far. I gave them a call this arvo and the word is that it was the carby and they have cleaned it out and done the balance but theres some screws the carby has that are rewted or something and they dont have any stock and are waiting to get some in to complete the job which they said SHOULD be tomorrow.
Would a call have been too much to ask to say hey its gonna be another day cause we don't have any of these screws in stock at the mo...
Better fuggen be ready tomorrow as I'm having withdrawal symptoms!
Hrm ride a 900 eh
Tempting but I think I'd most likely end up with the front wheel in the air and the bike then proceeding to flip and squash me heh, too bad your in Vic

You probably won't beleive this but its now been in there for 5 working days and they still haven't been able to locate the problem... what the fuck?!
Tomorrow will be a entire week without my own transport...
I have had the entire head and parts on my car bloody replaced and its been quicker than this...
I mean what else can it be, carby, fuel lines/pump, air filter/fuel filter, maybe even fuel...
Apparently its been worked on since 8:30 this morning... thats 7 hours already today they reckon... Swapping parts with a showroom bike.
Can anything seriously take this long?

Broken collar bone and a messy bike...
