Trivia .....

First topic message reminder :

What does everone think about a TRIVIA thread

Stuff that maybe of no use to most people but really handy to the others. Maybe a good DVD ,something they have made,seen ,heard of ,
cooked ,been too .Minor things that do not really warrant a post of there own.(like most of my stuff ,there beat you to it )
Like taking a tractor tyre up north to float your Bandit across a river to a football selection ,the taste of beer ,who's state is
better at Rugby League. (may be not that) .Something that may make someone else say ,"why didnt i think of that".

Good idea or just post it on "off topic discussions " or not post it at all? (feeling vulnerable now )

yep three & keeping one the k6

Ok... so I'm a bit heavy on the back brake. Still 50% on the front pads, about 2 sheets of paper on the rear

At least I got my money's worth

Do you trail the rear brake on bends ?

I have been known to trail brake to get a better turn-in. I think the real problem is that the pedal is a bit high coupled with the lack of feel through the boots. I do lock the back from time to time. I will adjust the pedal and see how I go.

It's worth mentioning that I have revised my riding lately and a lot of the wear dates back to just after I got the bike.

My rear brake doesn't lock

I saw Ironmans K6 advertised for sale at Brisbane Motorcycles some time ago. There was no mistaking it was his. I PMed him to ask if he had traded it in on something, but did not get a reply.

I am falling in love with silver 2006 Bonnies. I have not ridden one but I can't get it out of my head that I would love one.

It's OK Ross. It's just a phase that you are going through. Next week it will be something else. Trust me. It will pass.

I know what you mean. Last week it was for a Harley.

But there is no way I can afford a Bonnie. Even if i sell the Bandit privately I am still way short of the difference to buy the Bonnie. AAARRRGGGHHHHH

There is one HUGE underlying factor as well. The Bandits GRUNT ! I think a Bonnie would be nice to look at. But you would miss the buzz factor. By the way. I fell in love with a Triumph Rocket III the other day in a shopping center car park. Chatted to the owner . He loves it. 220ks to a tank ( 25 lt ). 6-7000 ks to a rear tyre. The guy told me it only took about a week to get used to the size. Now it just feels like any other bike. They are nice.

I have also been through the I want a Street Triple thing too.

Maybe we should start up a "Dream List" thread.

Is done.

Its raining .

How about some tie down lugs (spare lift lugs) in the place of normal bolts .


No grab handle so a blinker instead .


Apparently i stole the lift lug idea . Words fail me .Lets just say its been done .

Like the blinker idea Gus. Can you show us a pic from the rear ?
