That’s how many weeks it took to get police clearence on my bike. Thus, the reason I haven’t blogged about my bike yet. It’s ready for collection though, just waiting for paperwork to be finalised. I like to be legal and all.
Otherwise I’m looking forward to getting back on now; …

So I went to check out my new bike. For those who aren’t aware it’s a Honda VFR400 NC30; and now that I think about it I completely forgot to check what year it was. It doesn’t really matter though; I assume it’s a ‘95 or ‘96.

The pictures are a …

There’s some photos of the sliders in position on my leathers. I suppose red sliders would have worked with the style pretty well, so I’ll keep my eye out for a replacement set for the future.
I hope everyone likes my makeshift home for my leathers. That’s the picture rail above …

I picked up a set of Arlen Ness sliders yesterday. They don’t exactly match my suit but they were a reasonable price and look fairly decent as far as knee sliders go. I didn’t want to pay in excess of R500 so I could get myself a set of spiked …

I received my leathers last week. This finally brings my hunt for full motorcycle kit to a close. To recap, I have an Arai Astro-R tribal-red helmet, Sidi Vertigo Corsa black boots, Alpinestars GP Tech red gloves, and my Vivante 2-piece red leathers. For those of you doing the maths, …

Suzuki GSX-R750
Honda CBR600RR
KTM 990 Super Duke R
Buell Firebolt XB12R

Had I the money, I’d buy all of the above bikes. However, being a Honda fan means I’d probably choose the 600RR if I could only pick one. Such are my dreams. Short of winning the lotto, I doubt I’ll be able …

…at least I imagine it will when you go down on a gravel/sand/whatever path. This weekend I only managed to fall, while stopped, at a stop street, in front of people, while about to set off, having to stop quickly… yes. So I fell over because I wasn’t expecting to …

From my previous posts and the new personal description on the main page (not seen if you’re using a feed), some have noted that my bike has been sold. Yep, I no longer have a bike. It’s been sold to the guys fixing it and so far they’ve paid for …

I had hoped to put off this post until I had something to report… like some sort of amicable resolution — which is appearing to be more and more unlikely by the day. Due to recent developments this post is now warranted.
To clear up the confusion, I’m talking about my …

Yes. It’s the new 2007 600rr.
It seems to have taking a lot of styling cues from the GSXR and R6, not that that is such a bad thing. It’s looking really nice, and I can’t wait to get one. All I need to do now is win the lotto and …
