I'd like "to be back on the road" but maybe I should ask for "Trainer wheels"  :lol:

Santa already has my request Dave for a full vinyl wrap, so I'm just wishing for the time to spend in the garage to get the bits off and make it happen :onya:

Thanks Notty, they're just the thing. BTW, you wouldn't happen to know of the speed rating on those tyres would you? and a suitable mounting location?  Maybe on the side of the helmet? so it will roll next time instead of sliding on the road.  :cheers:

Because Santa has a Trade Account at most wholesalers perhaps he could slide a pair of new PR4's my way......... should be under the $30 prezzy cap.  :whistling:

Kiwifruit,
Shame you're over the ditch.
I've got one spare. PR4 that is.

Me?
I'll have a 1620cc conversion, thanks. 1550 would be fine too.
I'm already doing work on a spare head I have for when that day comes.

BJ, who is the company in your post?
Title: Re: Dear Santa Letter!
Post by: BJ on Monday, 11 December 2017, 08:01 PM
ptr.com.au
Phil Tainton Racing in Victoria (Australia)
Never had anything to do with them but they have been round for decades.
Have seen their adverts in MCNews.
I think Phil used to race when I was a much younger chap.
Over the years I have read articles in magazines about bikes they have hotted up.

Absolutely I've looked at that numerous times.  And as fun as it would be, it makes NO sense at all.


For that $10.5K you could buy a very decent, very fast Busa or a B-King and possibly even have some change depending on how old.

Those mods would be awesome if I was younger and dumber but I think standard is more than enough for me. Was just interested in what other bits of kit they sold for it. I have had my bike for two months now but only had the chance to ride it three times - and one of those was to get it over the pits to get it licensed, being a round trip of 5kms!!! The other two rides have been decent lengths of about 250 - 300kms, so still getting used to it. Loving it so far though!

Well it makes sense if you want a really fast GSX! I try not to think about bikes and money too logically though or I will end up agreeing with my wife  :lol:

Then you'd both be wrong Owen.  :lol:
