Wow where did the month go.

Update: FarRide #9 at Nambucca Heads was last weekend, really good roll up and 50 riders completed it as per the rules but approx 60 riders there.

Had an offer to use Continental tyres on Roo and two sets supplied at this stage so am keen to see how they wear. So far with approx 3000klms on the first set they feel really good, secure in the bends and with a lot of rain riding they are solid.

Fitted the Hella FF50 driving lights that I had on Griff my 1000GTR, fitted with brackets supplied by Glenn a member and mate in WA. Still to wire them up.

Street Pilot 2730 GPS is playing up with no touch screen working, onto Garmin about that.

Talked with Robert from Kawasaki today about what support they can give. Given the slow time we are having I understand they can't be giving away stuff just now but should be able to report some good things in the next few days. Seems they will supply me with a bike for the period I have Roo shipping to the US so I still have a bike to train on. Plus other stuff which I will post when I have it confirmed. They were great during the August 2007 to Aug 2008 period with allowing me to ride Roku their 1400GTR at no cost.

Money is still tight but I hope all will work out as sales have definately improved over the last 2 months.

Oh almost forgot, the seat on Roo is down at Brisbane at John Moorhouse Ergo seats getting the full make over. Will be great.
