Personally, as much as I like the big kick in the back from big boosted cars, I don't really like driving them. I personally prefer a car that builds power consistantly through the rev range... A lot more predictable, a lot easier to drive, a lot more forgiving.

Can someone do me a favour? Can someone tell that man (dad) that he is the bestest panel beater in the world? :hug: I still love the job he did on my car :P It *still* looks better than the rest of the car |blink|

Decided against it. I don't even know if I'll even like riding yet, a bit stupid to go out and buy a bike really. Besides, it's not like they aren't going to have any other sales. More money for me to save now :hug:

where?

You can get a day licence.

Hahaha, they don't like to make it easy do they? Just got another call, they're now willing to do it for EVEN CHEAPER, and possibly (they're supposed to call again) subject to me actually test riding the bike. LOL And they might even throw in a discounted QRide course with it too. Good god. At this rate I could probably buy the bike, and sell it on again for more money... :hug:

Haha, yes to both :hug: Except that Yamaha finance rocks. And stuff. Bah, I want to live in fairytale land...

Ah, have discovered the "special" they were talking about, it's the Yamaha 50th birthdah "MAD" special, which is where they give you a helmet, jacket and gloves, valued at $998 when you buy a Virago, "for a limited time". So they've modified the deal to give me the bike for less, and give me less gear. Or something like that. Doesn't say anywhere that it's ending at the end of the month though. End of the month is tomorrow. Bugger. Besides, I shouldn't buy a bike considering I've never even riden a bike before, much less THAT bike, and who knows, maybe even though I like the look of a cruiser, maybe I won't actually like riding one...

congrats :hug:

Gee, what a strange world it is, motorcycle prices... In my little dream world I've been wandering around the net and trading post etc looking at prices of bikes, and have found that the Yamaha Virago (which is kinda the only bike I could possibly afford and actually like) generally goes for about $4K for a mid to late 90's model with anywhere from about 5000k's on the clock. And for an early'ish 2000 model you're looking at about $5K+, with anywhere from about 3000k's or so on the clock. These prices don't include stamp duties or rego or anything. Haha, okay so maybe I can't afford it, but it's like the cheapest bike that I like :hug: Anyway, today I had a day off work, and on the way home I decided to stop by Yamaha Moorooka to have a look at the actual bike, since obviously pictures don't do justice. The last time I saw the bike in person, it looked so small!!! But that was probably cause I'd just been looking at the Warrior before that, which is like HUGE. Sat on the Virago, and haha, I don't think I could really handle a bike that was any bigger, really... As small as it was it was a struggle to keep it upright and paddle it around... Anyway, was speaking to the sales dude, and he offered to sell me a BRAND SPANKING NEW 2005 Virago with ZERO k's (like, brand new) for $5650 ON THE ROAD, or $6000 with $490 worth of accessories (ie jacket, helmet, gloves etc). Like, WOW? What's the point of buying a 2nd hand bike when for like so little more I can get a brand spanking new one??? On finance, that's like $40 or so a week for 5 years. That's not so bad |blink| They even offered to throw in the QRide course with that too :P HAHA... But apparently the offer is only open till tomorrow (end of month), as it's a "Yamaha special" or something for this month... Retail, the bike is $6800 on the road... Soooooo shouldn't impulse buy something I really can't afford :)

Mmm, killer disguise deserves big snogging! :ban:

Another vote for the datsun donk. Simpler conversion, better bang for buck.

Ninja16 would have to bring it over for the snogging sesson :ban:

4, 6, 7, 9 are total winners :ban: ninja16 wouldn't even need to raise a finger to win any fight by practicing the art of disguise with those numbers :ban:

That's pretty cool :ban:

Looking at current RallySport magazine, apparently there's Mel somewhere... but where?

The art of disguise is also a very important ninja skill... And one usually very successfully used by female ninja!

YES! :ban:

The art of snogging can be performed anywhere. Not only within the Dojo.

Dojo is good for snogging too :ban: And other things...

Mumblezz makes the conversion sound like a walk in the park :ban:

Does that mean we may see more fun from the Drift Club Norway again? :ban:

hahahaha :ban:

Ninja 16: It is like nothing else on this planet, it is one of a kind! AE35: I'm missing my fluffy handcuffs :ban:

art of snogging is a secret and sacred art, and usually best performed in the cover of darkness, or at least behind closed doors... :ban:
