[Colapop]

Welcome, enjoy the coffe (it's free) you pay for the patrsy's and nuts!

What did you just buy? Are you sure you want to trust the crazies 'round here?

[Acid]

i aint crazy just a little deranged and disillusioned lol
did i spell the big words properly haha?

[glanzav]

thanks for the reply. it's a 92 cbr250rr . that idea is good but i really prefer a gentle driver not a racer and someon who can look after my bike. will serve beer or coffee depend on person end of the day.:drinknsin
thanks

Well if you've actually got a license then you're gonna have to start riding at some point, so why not do it yourself?

Just make sure to take it easy, and try to stay off the highways if at all possible.

Just jump in there and ride it home!

[Ixion]

Not game to ride across Auckland, yet you've bought a race replica? Hmm.

[glanzav]

it's not that easy. i don't have any gear to ride a bike at the moment.sold every thing with the bike i had before.
cheers

[glanzav]

i don't think it's a replica cuz the seller told me it's a genuine cbr250rr.
cheers

[deathstar]

don't tempt me evil do-er the power of a faster bike will take hold and i will become one of those black riders those stupid hobbits are always on about

[Ixion]

Wonder what the rr stands for?

[Ixion]

Well, you're going to need gear to ride it once you get it (and if you're not it seems a somewhat pointless purchase). So why not go get the gear, then go get the bike - and if you owned a bike before New Lynn to East Tamaki should be easy enough ?

[Acid]

hey dude i wouldnt give someones bike other than mine any stick, i have my learner licence so am allowed to ride it and i live in manukau which aint too far from you, in the end it up to you. i own a gsx250 across
pm me if you need help

[glanzav]

as i said before i am still a learner and haven't drived for long distence. was just doning circles around my house area with my old bike before.

cheers

[ManDownUnder]

If there is anyone else in the middle of Auckland (i.e. downtown?) it can be done.

You pick it up and ride it, I'll follow, and you pillion home on the RF? - Or the other way round (i.e. I ride the 250).

PM me if my help's wanted. I won;t be watching this thread.. so might miss any response.

Glanzav - to confirm - this has a WOF and reg right?
An alternate thought... I can pick it up and bring it to work where you can retireve it at your leisure - Sat morning when traffic is light?

[The Stranger]

thanks for the reply. it's a 92 cbr250rr . that idea is good but i really prefer a gentle driver not a racer and someon who can look after my bike.

Ahh, you need LooseBruce. He takes care of bikes.

[Zapf]

thinking about it... its the right time to start learning by riding home...

I assume you have done your basic handling skills? you just need to find a time of the day when the roads are NOT busy and get a group of us to doodle as wingman behind while u ride home :)

how old are you Steve and have u been driving (e.g Car license) before?

[Two Smoker]

Might be able to do it on Wednesday evening... Shoot me a PM if your keen... On the proviser its WOF'd and REG'od...

[MattRSK]

Very nice just bought myself a CBR 250 in the weekend. Best of luck to you. Is it the one from Botany Honda?.

[glanzav]

no..it's not from botany honda. the bike is in newlynn.

cheers

[Phenoix]

You do need to learn to ride it yourself.
But if you want, I'll follow or ride it fo ryou if you give me a lift.
Im in Avondale.
Pm for moe info

[FlyingDutchMan]

If you keep the bike under 8,000 rpm, it won't come anywhere near to flying out from under you. In fact I bet you'll stall it the first 3 times you try to move off (I did it more than that and another mate who had been riding for over 7 years did even worse!). Its a good bike, just remember it can turn quite quickly. But if you still keen for some dodgy arse guy (or girl!) off the KB forum to ride your bike home for you, by all means let them. I haven't meet any that I wouldn't let my bike near (maybe apart from that CBR250 hater SD).

If your not keen on me riding it, due to me racing... I should be able to get Milky to ride it... Most sensible rider i know of...

Crazy Steve might do it - he's not a racer

[KLOWN]

racer or not most people aren't going to thrash your bike but a racer (in theory) will have more skills to mke sure your bike gets home safely, and two smoker is ment to be a pretty good racer. Also the RR on your bike means race replica ixion wasnt saying you bike is a fake its a race replica

[glanzav]

oh:Oops: so RR means Race Replica...i am new so didn't know. i thought it's a limited edition of cbr250. and diffrent in performance wise than normal cbr250. so at the end it's all the same.anyway thanks for the information.
cheers

[FROSTY]

gimme a yell dude. Ill be dropping my race bike into town on wendsday evening--i could prolly fit ya bike in next to it in the race van

[Sutage]

will u pay for a taxi back to new lynn? i live in new lynn so no worries

[NhuanH]

I should be able to do it. May even find a gentler rider than me to ride the 250.
Does it have to be Wednesday night?

[glanzav]

anytime on wendsday is fine. and just wanna say thank to all the KB forum people who trying to help me out .

cheers

[Mr Skid]

So what does the R on the CBR250R stands for? Race? or Rocks? :-) nah... :scooter:

[Phenoix]
