Yesterday I was coming home along Clayton Road yesterday when a deep purple fzr250 rode up beside me. Just wondering if it was anyone here? I am sure I recognised the bike, though I know there are multiple purple fzr's out there.
yeah i saw one on bridge rd yesterdat, next to a kawasaki zx6 or something. I shold have stopped to have a chat coz they were just standing by having a coffee. Same paint scheme as mine too, 3LN red/white with non standard black mirrors.Ah well, next time
If it was a 2kr it could have been garfield...he has a deep purple fzr..woudln't think too many purple ones out there..seems he sprayed it himself.

Nice to meet you! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s --> It was my 'family-in-laws'. Myself and my wife (pillion) on yzf750r, my sister-in-law (pillion) and her hubby on a yamaha trx 850, and my father in law and mother in law (pillion) on a yamaha fj1100. The trx and fj are my father-in-laws bike - my sister-in-laws hubby usually rides a yamaha rz250rr but it doesn't hold up well two up. We didn't go much further - only to the shops on Stephenson's Road, Mount Waverley - so perhaps only another 2 or 3 km's. Hope your ride was nice! Did you join the netriders for the arthurs seat run? I think there was a group going on Sunday. Last thing i said to you but we couldn't hear each other was 'I used to have one of those...' <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
By the way - very nice bike! Looks darn nice. I saw the headlights behind me and thought it was an fzr. It sounded nice too - I miss that buzzing sound.
lol...yeah... i actually left the netriders cruise early to do a few runs up n down arthurs seat...since the group spent more time standing round n wating n chatting than actual riding, but all was fun. thr turnout was 30ish which was quite good. yeah...sorry i couldnt hear wat u said last...was goin deaf from al that freeway riding bak.. <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: --> anyway...hope to catch up sometime! dave
Doesn't it **** ya? That's the worst ride I've been on as far as that was concerned. And the guy that led at first was a leyland brother and a total noomptie... Turns out a lot of people felt like you did, and once one said they were going up and down etc. about 10 of us did a few runs. It's a bit short, but fun nonetheless. Who was the other FZR rider there? The guy on the black 3LN. It was like looking into a time warp...
ah that was koma.... yeah....it wasnt quite organised so yeah...lol anyway..catcha on the next cruise,...oh i mean ride dave
do realise that the arthurs seat ride was advertised as a 'cruise' or 'slow and steady' ride, and not a full-on ride - it was intended to get some new riders out and get more comfortable on their bikes. The MRAA organises some good rides that go at a fair clip. Usually 1.5-2 hours riding broken up with 30 minute rest breaks (and a 1 to 1.5 hour lunch). Many of the netrider rides I have been on have been similar.
yeah we know it was a relaxing ride....but its was the way it was organinsed...or not.... i did enjoy meeting every1 n the turnout n general cruise.. but i thought it could have been orgainise betta...like pre ride annoucement as wat was happening etc...the group got split into 3 n no1 knew where the meet point was etc.... the second part was ok...with the group being split into 2....slow n fast but coulda chosen a betta place to have lunch.... Roderz - were u at the original lunch meeting place where there was the chick with the dog aipped in her jacket ion the ducati monster? <!-- s:rofl: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":rofl:" title="Rofl" /><!-- s:rofl: --> oh well...just hope the nex netrider cruise/ride is betta orgainise seeing that its almost summer n the turnout will prolly b similar if not more... dave
Actually it was more, because a few individual riders got separated... Yeah. How funny was that? Cool though. That's one way of having a constant riding companion...
