TIPS FOR PHILLIP ISLAND

[B6mick]

The rest of the bike is very good, the motor is very willing, the 6 spot brakes are over the top, I have noted that kawasaki has even put smaller rotors on the newer models to tame the suckers down a bit. the handling is not to bad for a lump of its size, its hard work to get it quick and smooth on a road like the reefton spur but on roads like gods rd and the black spur it holds its own very well. I bought as a wreck and had never ridden one before, and even if I had test ridden one, most shops don't let you take it out for a quick interstate run, or am I going to the wrong shops. Then there is the price I paid, 2 g's and another 2 g's on the road. But I still reckon the B6 is more fun, even if it don't mono as easy as the REX. But one HUGE + for the REX is the noise, it really does sound like nothing else. Hope your EPA boys airnt around next weekend.

You should be right......the RTA are the ones round here that'll take your bike of the road for noise.....but they're too busy annoying the f^&k out of Truckies, plus there is a burnout comp in Wagga that weekend, so the EPA, RTA and Cops will be concentrating on the local hoons and 'tourists' in town....

Yep well that just solved the question of which way to get there. The back door is now locked in. Yehaa, and so much more fun. And the back door is looking good for the trip home too.  It may be 600 k's longer and my butt will be killing me, but the roads are so much worth it.

Unfortunately for me, there is no back door, and the Show Grounds aren't far from my place, add the fact that my street is often the scene of speeding teenagers and cops....actually it's sometimes fun to sit out in the front garden and watch the dicks go screaming past, only to nearly loose it on the corner less than 20 meters down the road..
