OUCH!! :blackeye:
Three days to go, and I will be back in OZ. Still packing my suitcase. We just bought a new laptop, so we can use the net on the move. I will be heading for Perth, the only place in OZ that I have never been to. It should be great. Any other forum members living in WA ?
Been there once but I don't think that counts. :) Hope it's warmer than Melbourne at the moment. I hate Winter. :mad:Quote:

Well, my father was.. But Assen is useless for making photo's, so our shots have never been great
Being a photographer wouldn't be a bad choice I think. ;)Quote:

Not fasting month, they have been fasting for a year by the looks of things, the poor dears!! Need a good feed and some suitable clothing, a trip to a good clothing store for some full outfits instead of having to obvisouly share pieces of clothing... ;)
I am happy you changed your orientation properly. :)

Hi all. Well, I am in Perth (OZ) now, and have settled in. I wanted to watch the WSBK on the weekend, like I usually did in China, but, when I went to watch it, it told me that it is not available in my region. How do you all watch the WSBK here in OZ ?
I just landed a new job as a customer service/sales rep for a large Ice Cream Company here in Perth,(the wife is licking her lips at the thought of getting freebie ice cream), and I will be checking out the Motorcycle shops in ther next couple of weeks, so that I can get back to riding again. I am looking at buying a ZZR600, or a bike similar to this. I want the bike to be comfortable for a pillion, economical, reliable, and also capable of riding long distance without crippling me. I did want to buy another ZZR1100, but, with the price of fuel as it is, as well as little chance to use the power of the 1100 these days, I thought that a 600 would be enough to fill the role. I am hoping that I can ride from Perth to Sydney/Melbourne next year and take in the Motogp or the WSBK rounds,(depending on when I can get away), which should be a nice but long ride. I am already feeling the benefits of breathing fresh air for a change, as I am not coughing all the time like I was in China. Well, the Olympics are getting started, Luo Dan and I will be watching, and I will be cheering on the Aussies, as well as the Chinese. I think we should have WSBK as an Olympic sport, that would be really cool. Anyhow, hope you are all well, and I will be here as much as I can. Maxu05/John
Glad to hear you're safe and well in Aus, John. A ZZR600 is a fine choice for a bike - any more than 600cc's is a waste ;) . Riding from Perth to Melbourne would be pretty daunting though I reckon. We drove from Melbourne to Kalgoorlie then Esperance once and it was about 30 hours straight! And the run of about 145km without a bend wasn't particularly exciting, and that was in a car! :eek: Oh well, the trade off for being so far from Melbourne is better weather and a more relaxed lifestyle. All the best, hope you enjoy it. :up:
Hey John, good to hear you settled in.
I think races are available on demand 2 days later in the US and Oz so if you can watch them like that if you can wait a while
If you cant you can try using a european proxy server
Glad to hear you all arrived safe and sound.
Riding from Perth to Melbourne is a very long way, one would get a sore behind!! Remember you are home in Oz now lots of wide open spaces, lots of distance between cities!! :p :
I watch the Super bikes on Foxtel,that way I get my Magee fix too!! ;) .
we should have cricket as a olympic sport :cheese:
Being English, I'd rather we didn't ;) :p :Quote:

Welcome back John.
Given your criteria for a bike, I reckon you'd be far better off on a VFR750 (1994-1997, known as 4th Gen) than a ZZR600 - torquier, more comfortable for both rider and pillion, excellent build quality and resale. And FUN! The motor is bulletproof, the only thing that may give problems is the reg/rec which can fail, but I can give you info on beefing that up.
I have two and was one of the two founding members of http://www.ozvfr.net, so I may be a bit biased :) but they really are brilliant bikes.
England seem to doing pretty well in this test match and they actually haven't done that badly in the series to be down 2-0...they've dominated the first test and they did reasonably well to set a competitive target in the third..Quote:
