Hey all you all you South Aussie FZ6 riders, who's interested in getting together for a ride?

If you want the whole wheel polished, this is how much it costs from a mob up at Lonsdale, sent them an e-mail, and this is what i got back.

Hi Jamie
Thanks for your email. The price for polishing your wheels (including the removal of the paint) would be $180 each. We can also polish the forks and the price for these would be $70 the pair. Any queries just give us a shout.

Am guessing it would be even cheaper if they only polished the outside of the rim.

When i det the $$$ i am going to get my whole wheels done!

For me, it's cause i want my bike to look like "My Bike'. I think it's a by-product of Vanity....plus i just love to tinker, and every time i put something new on the bike, i feel like i have a new bike again...psychologists would have a field day with me!, and marketing people, love people like me!

Dunno where my fascination with riding gear comes from though, but i have to stop myself constantly from buying stuff i dont need, like just this week, it's been me looking at new gloves when i already have perfectly good ones already. Dont worry i stopped myself! this time!

[Wolfman]

OK Boys, i think it's time we got our S*&% together, and organise another ride, i cant wait till second weekend in July!

As per our last ride...with Aussiejules & Stumbles06, i am happy to have people come up to my place for Breakfast / Brunch first as i live in the hills and can cook - no need to bring anything, am happy to supply the tucker! If anyone is interested, i reckon we get together next Sunday - weather permitting.

Breakfast at 10.30am, as i have to work till 3am on Saturday Night!

Ride from Blackwood, through hills to Birdwood, then back down to Adelaide via Tea Tree Gully - this is just over 100km's, with a coffee break at Lobethal.

Whoever is in, PM me, to get address, details, etc.

This can be a nice cruise, no need to go racing...more than anything to get to know each other, and talk about the bike we all seem to love so much.

[stumbles06]

I'll have to see, gotta work Sunday night, but I do wanna show you something.

You know those Leo Vince pipes hanging on the wall at Yamaha World.... well, they are now partly fitted to the back of my bike (will finish in the morning.) Michael gave them to me for $880 and I got the nod from the missus, so I grabbed them.

[stumbles06]

Wow... Got the Leo's installed... What a difference.

I went for a short blat with the dB killers removed, but it was a bit droney, so I put them back in.

Very happy fella at the moment. Can't wipe the smile off my face.

[Wolfman]

That's fantastic. You got a great price, they offered them to me for over a $1000, but that was to fit them as well.

Cant wait to see & hear them.

[Ozfazer6]

Stumbles, Nice pipes man,and great price............sooooooooooo jealous

[stumbles06]

Cheers guys. Yeah, the price tag on them was $999, so I'm pretty happy.

[aussiejules]

I hate you.
