Greetings fellow Banditos

Greetings and good evening my fellow Banditos. I am Diablo from Aldinga Beach Sowf Oz..My new ride is an '08 1250s purchased with a mere 6000 clicks!!! Stock standard with NO mods!!...ha ha!!...that of course will be duly rectified..!!

Rectum!!? sure did! oh my achin butt....this Mo Fo bike has the nastiest butt busting seat of anything having pretensions to being a tourer I have ever graced my loins with!!  Trumpet fanfare and drum roll Da Da!!  Airhawk to the rescue  flying down from sunny Qld as we speak ....!!!!!  

Also this engine purrs..but I want it to growl!!! Watching the mailbox for the arrival of my new IXIL Can from WA....The original muffler is just that ...a bloody monstrous obese party pooper!! ........    that wonderful donk deserves better!!  

When i throw my leg over this baby I get so excited I just know I need to take precautions..use protection..employ a means of prophylaxis!!!!  I need to bar up!! Oggies or engine bars...currently scouring the net for posibilities...any suggestions??? Any local Vunderkind Velder types knockin out some decent product that might help me out here?

Anyway I am looking forward to meeting some of the clan for a chin wag and catching up on postings forums, chats and info here...Thanks for having me along for the ride.....Stay Safe...
Diablo   (couldnt find a smiling Devil emoticon so I did the next best thing)

hello & welcome to the forum Diablo ,lots of nice helpful folk here & usually a laugh or three as well .I`m in Morphett vale & when the weather is a bit more predictable hope to organize some kind of ride so SA members ( or anyone else if they`re keen enough to travel ) can meet up with one another to see what we look like in the flesh so to speak .

P.S. I must have a few more callouses on my butt than you I don`t notice the seat too much which is just as well cause i`ve never found my wife too willing to kiss that particular part of my anatomy better !

hi there

Hello and welcome Diablo.

Hi and welcome aboard Diablo. Enjoy.

Welcome to the forum mate.

Welcome to the fun house.
Seat is good for 1000k for me

Hello and Welcome to the forum.
I bought an ixil can, they don't take care of the centre stand so you might need to rig a rubber mount somehow or remove the stand.

PS
anyone interested in a ixil carbon can ? see the post I shall make in for sale section .. soon

Try Motorrad garage for a set of Engine bars http://www.motorradgarage.com.au/catalog/index.php?cPath=38_52&sort=2a&page=2

Thank you all for the kind welcome and the tips and advice..Paul, PM, sb, Harmy, Reardu, 2 wheels, Baz and red Dog. As for the seat maybe I am just getting soft in my dotage!!! Hi to Paul (true local bro..from Murder Vale huh? respect! lol............

Goddamn Baz it seems I jumped the gun and purchased the IXIL B4 signing up here..Thanks for the heads up re the rubber stopper...I will have to check it when it arrives....(anyone got any tips on how to remedy the problem???

How much you asking for the carbon IXIL Baz? I paid $390 delivered.
Thanks for the tip on crash bars Red Dog I will look in to it....

BTW any tips on insurance? I got a good quote form Swan ...What do you guys think? Shanons werent interested cos I havent got a lock up garage. I live in a place where there is a keycard boom gate boom gate (no its not Cadell Prison (ha ha) but thats not good enough for them.

Funny you should mention insurance. I got my renewal today.
Rural Vic comp ins Swann $290.00 It helps to be thought of as in the "responsible" age group

Welcome to the forum and Yes as soon as the weather is better , we must all meet each other (S.A Group ) along with any one else.

Yep 2 wheels you mean we are now officially " Old farts" !!? I knew there had to be a payoff for wrinkles, ear hair (yeow!!) drifting midriff, drifting mind, enlarged prostate and creaking bones...a discount on our bike insurance!!!!

Hi xpalan,
a Yanka Lad eh? More power to ya! A Bandit raid on the twisties thru Strath or over the Reservoir sounds most therapeutic to me, keep me posted.

Welcome Diablo - you nearly wore me out reading your hello! Love to see a happy bandit rider. Heaps of opinions on cans and lots of other stuff here from people with real expertise. I've just been (again) extoling the virtues of a front suspension mod - you'll seriously think you've riden away on a different bike. Can wise, I like the Yoshi R77 carbon (don't mind the titanium either), but it did cost me a fortune when the Ozzie dollar was down and some guys have done heaps better.

QBE are normally alright with insurance. I've never paid over about $380 pa since i bought mine in late 2007

Welcome to the best ride on the net!

Welcome to the sight. Very humurous intro too. Plenty of knowledge and laughs here.

Grover

Welcome, I can see you will get on.

Thanks for the welcome, Hoffo, Grover and Pops...

Hey dude.

Yo Bro
Most Bodacious Avatar Saikhan..sentiments with which I wholeheartedly concur! (except of course it is Diablo on Bandit + twisties + ............

BTW Is there a Sowf Oz ride coming up? ...errr maybe I should just look huh?....
