    That's Western Australia not Washington heheh.

    I'm from Fremantle and I've just got my full licence, after being on my probationary (restricted) for 18 months.

    Last Sunday I found a 6th gen - '06 in Candy Red with 26,000kms on the clock.

    Very happy!

    Bike is immaculate; nary a scratch on her with brand new tyres, chain, sprockets and the dreaded 24km valve adjustment service taken care of.

    Previous owner was very fastidious and he told me I have to treat her like the fine woman she is...and her name is Ruby!

    I've been singing Kaiser Chiefs and Kenny Rodgers ever since :biggrin:

    Just got back from my first serious 4hr ride. Mmm, quite a step up from 45hp to 107hp (is that right?).

    First impressions left me wondering how I'm gonna manage to keep my licence :cool:

    Look forward to getting to know a few of ya.

    TOO LATE. YOUR CAUGHT!
    :worthless:

    Welcome to the World. Only here can you rest assured everyone is either insane or troubled by those who are insane. We do like pix of your ride. Was that actually Candy Apple Red or Burgundy? Burgundy was not available here in North America until 2007. The 06 red was the same boring red Hinda has used for so many years. Kinda a slow colour to boot.
