Good evening guys,
Another Kiwi Bandit rider here. Three weeks ago I purchased a second-hand 2008 Bandit with the full touring kit. I've bought this after a couple of years on a Triumph Daytona 675 which wasn't really suited to riding with a pillion. The plan is to do a bit of touring around this beautiful country of ours with my fiance.
Being a rainy day today, I spent some time getting to know the bike a bit more intimately and adjusted the TPS and balanced the throttle bodies. Gave it an oil and filter change for good measure so I know it has been done.
Have had a good look around this site already and there is some good and interesting information shared around.
Looking forward to many happy years on our Bandit.

Regards,
Pierre

Welcome. My mate Jimmy Bandit rode his 96 Gen 1 bandit from Collie in WA (200ish k's south of Perth) over to Tassie rode around for a bit and then went over to NZ for a while late last year. He got caught in the earthquake in christchurch and then rode all the way back home.

Only wish I had the time to do it with him.

Tassie and NZ would be fantastic riding.

Sure will, had a look at your blog. Wouldn't mind meeting up one day to have a look at your seat and feel the difference. Are you on Kiwibiker or part of Wellington Riders on facebook?

I picked my bike up from Christchurch. Luckily it survived the quake without any damage. They must sit really solid on that centre stand.

Kiwibiker under the same user name, although I don't spend a lot of time there as it seems pretty negative and combative a lot of the time. Not on Facebook. I am based in Petone. Send me a pm if you want to have a closer look at the gel seat or any other bits. I'll be at TSS Motorcycles Saturday at 12.30 for a WOF for it.
