Towie: I agree there mate. We never underestimate the power of the Allblacks. They always seem to save a little something special for the Wallabies. Especially at home.:kicknuts
And it's good to see another North Queenslander on the boards. If I get up your way later in the year, we might get a chance to catch-up.

Hey there Stu.... congrats did you buy through Cairns Honda? Is it the silver one they just got in? what were you on b4?
My mate ( Guzzi Grisso ) and i ride up to Kuranda from Port Douglas probably every couple of weeks at least. We have just started riding more often now every weekend and looking to get a group going so would be great to meet up as soon as you have the beast delivered.. cheers Towie

Good idea Chuncky let us know your itinarary and perhaps we might even join you guys for the day we often go up the Gillies range to Tinaroo for lunch then coffee at Mareeba Coffee Works and down the Rex range to Port Douglas or down Kuranda Range....

Hey Towie, yes I did buy it from Cairns Honda, however its a demo bike from brisbane that they got up for me. I just can't see the point in dropping $5 or $6 K in a year on a new bike. Its a red & white one with 1400 klms on the clock. Anyway its my first ever roadbike & I guess I'll want to get the feel for the road & bike as I have been dirt riding all my life up until now. I have always had big bore 4 strokes & usually had them heavily modded.
I nearly bought a secondhand Buell firebolt which I must say out of all the bikes I looked at was the best looking one by far especially with the trick micron exhaust ! Pity it wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding ! and had to be flogged to get the front wheel off the ground.
After riding the BMW 1200 K with the lady on the back I was ready to do the deal except for Fiona suggesting to test out an Aprilia.
Graham & Roly gave me the keys to their brand new Tuono with 0 klms & said give it a go but its yours if you scratch it, Sounded fair !
Was this bike created for me ? Wow I'm still smiling & I look forward to sorting out a few mods to the exhaust, airbox, ecu & gearing.
Any suggestions on the way to go about mods ? and how it affects performance ?
Cheers for now & I look forward to going riding with someone who can give me a few tips on road riding so I dont let my dirt bike skills kill me !
Cheers
