Brissie trip
Just arrived back from a ride on the Kawasaki ZZR250 from Sydney to Brisbane. Spent a little over a week up there, spend most of it just vegging out and cruising about on the bikes. I slugged it out on the bike for 2 days and the better half flew up (I missed out on checking out the Virgin Air Hostesses dammit!).
We stayed with Brett who owns a 2003 Kawasaki ZX6R which is *THE* bike I want to buy when I can legally do so (9 months to do before I have an open licence).
I rode Brett’s ZX6R a few times while I was up there and all I can say is that the bike absolutely rawks!!! By the time you leave 2nd gear you are almost tripple the speed limit. It has so much grunt its unbelieveable and better yet, its VERY comfortable.
The trip back was spanned over two days, approximately 5-6 hours riding time each day. Scored a fine from Mr. Plod on day 1, 119km/h in a 100 zone. $203 fine and 3 points lost, lucky he didn’t lock onto me earlier cause he originally pinged me at 132km/h but didn’t lock onto me until I had jumped on the brakes and slowed down to 119km/h… ahh well, shit happens I guess.
To make the trip back even better, it drizzled and rained the entire way home, even in parts where the road was perfectly dry the drizzle would constantly be hitting my helmet visor, it was as if the bloody rain was following me the entire way home…
I DID manage to do the 1000km trip in 11 hours on the way up which also included at least a 90 minute detour to brissie due to highway road closures caused by bushfires but we won’t talk about the speeds I was doing to accomplish that :P~
I have a week and a half of annual leave to go and intend on doing not much at all in that time, I am very much enjoying the time off
