    [attachmentid=2793][attachmentid=2793][=2791attachmentid][attachmentid=2791]Well after much debate ( & serious crawling ) The war office (wife) has finally relented & approved of my purchasing another bike.
    I had the Blade for nearly 3 years & she was a good bike, reliable,fast(not that i sped at all )but at my age(40+) I felt like quasi-modo after sitting in the saddle for any lenght of time.
    I looked at a few bikes ( was probably called a fkn tyre kicker at a few places) but i finally settled for a Kwaka ZRX1200R from Kim Britton (Thanks to Paul,Kim & Steve for the good service).
    Haven't done too many K's on her yet, but from what riding i have done she's very comfy & smooth.
    Hope to finally get out on a ride with you guys ( & girls ) in the not to distant future.
    In the mean time RIDE SAFE & STAY UPRIGHT .

    They're about $780 new, it was only on the bike for about 500k. I took it off to put on a Muzzy meg. Was thinking about $500. You're welcome to bolt it on for a look and listen. I'm in Kardinya. Done a few other mods too if you want ideas. Same colour as yours.
