Insured it is, but insurance won't cover it unless it is as a result of an accident. Something like a rock through the oil filter would do it...!!!

There are a few engines floating around, but they are looking for aound the $2200 mark. Not sure whether I want to put an early R1 engine in it, they are a bolt in, but I'm not completely sure the electricals are a bolt in too....plus they have a different top end, so it may not run the best on FZ carbs. Will keep you posted.

Bugger huh! I should have realised that it was your bike Shane.

Was it insured? And if not have you found another motor for it? I saw one on ebay not too long ago I think (might have been an R1 come to think of it).

Cheers, Craig

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BIKE BEFORE

and will stand up in court and swear on the honor of my dearly departed Great Grandmother that I did not send that engine to the great Wrecker in the sky

Was only pulling about 6000rpm at the time (I think?) in top gear, so it really wasn't working that hard. She is just a complete tart, showing a bare leg like that, should be ashamed of herself...

Too right Mick. No Falcon Ute for this baby. Worst part was as we were loading up, a group of four Harley riders went by. Big grins and thumbs up. Dammit!!

For the Tassie trip I have some new throw-over panniers, plus I'll run the BMW tankbag and I'll bolt on my trusty Givi "Flow" topcase for some added pillion security and luggage capacity.

Today I installed Narva bulbs: Blue Power (80% brighter, 20% whiter) low beam H7 and Arctic Blue (4000K) high beam H3B. Much better. The run from Long Flat into Wauchope on the Ox the other night was not pleasant. With a bit of adjustment at least I could see....

I'm happy with it Davo. Sporty side of touring. Crazy power and top end of course, but very well mannered down low. Stable handling. A bit of weather protection after the naked K1200R was good for a change, especially with the storm on Saturday night from Uralla to Muswellbrook.

My wife and I have planned and booked a 2 week trip to Tassie this New Year. I was worried that the BMW may still be in the shop. Besides, springtime is great for mile-munching and after a couple of...

The K1200R is still off the road 3 weeks after the 'roo incident on the FarRide to Tottenham.

Likely at least another 10 weeks for parts "ex-Germany".

I bought this on ebay to get around on for the few months.........

Thanks Craig, although these three FTP (failed to proceed) I wanted them on the list somehow in recognition of their efforts.
Clint had already completed the requirements for the FarRide.

Funnily enough, my last Kwaka did me fine for 200 thou over 3 years (GPZ1000RX) and the GTR thou engine was based on the same bike. So I'm kinda partial to a Kawasaki, but I'll leave the Kermit frog green shirts to others

Grey Gentry, thanks for the offer Ron. Looks like the bike will be couriered down to Mildura tomorrow, sleep in a depot and end up on the back of a TOLL truck heading back here soon. The hunt is on for another donk....or a GTR1400 :-)
