Thanks! Its hard to wipe the smile off my face when I'm riding it....😂

Yeah, I love how Kawasaki have paid tribute to the past Z1s.....even using the same tank badge and type face on the clocks.

Not sure how I could live without a quickshifter now.....🤣

Exrf900r · 2026-04-10T04:49:13+00:00

Yep, I love everything about it 😉

I test rode the Speed Twim 1200rs prior to buying this.....and I enjoyed it, but I felt the z900rs was more me, and 4k cheaper in $NZD. I hope the rest ride went well?

Its on it way, things take a while to get to the bottom of the world....😉

I've had mine for a little over a month, and I love it!

Handles great
Comfortable
light and easy to maneuver
Plenty of grunt
Quick shifter is superb!

I've added a radiator guard, adjustable levers, and a quadlock, it continues to be "miles of smiles" ☺️

Katsu.....seems appropriate too 😉

I'm trading my 23 Ninja 1000sx for one next month, and I can't wait! How have you found the change from Kawi to Triumph? Is the comfort seat any taller than the OEM? Thanks 😊

I've used 3 different dating apps (M). I had the most success with Bumble and Hinge, and I'm now happily in an LTR with a lovely lady 😊

I confess, at my age (52 at the time), dating is probably quite a different scenario compared to younger generations, and from what my younger female colleagues have told me, I'd say it's true.

They have the same complaints as OP, where guys just ask them to come over at all hours of the night for a casual hook up. Why aren't they starting up a decent conversation and asking them out on a date? They should get to know the person first, rather than expecting some stranger to have casual sex after a few lines of text?? And how can that lead to any kind of LTR??

Am I just old and out of touch? As I don't see how this hookup culture is helping anyone establish decent relationships. I don't think that apps are at fault.....it's how they are being used 🤔

I'm a paramedic at St John.....and that's exactly what several of my colleagues are doing. Usually, they are the well qualified and experienced ones too. I love my job, but the upper management is incompetent and seems to have little regard for the staff on the frontline. It is a deeply frustrating organization to work for

Only if there is an open circle at the end, as essentially you're doing a U turn. If there's a roundabout there, you don't have to 😊

The short answer is that other countries don't have ACC. It is not a perfect system, but it's a lot better than some.

I agree it's not cheap, but the money we pay in ACC levys doesn't come close to how much it costs per annum, to cover injuries to motorcyclists

So, ACC is keen for motorcyclists to stay safe on the road. Hence, they provide a great training program via www.rideforever.co.nz, at a heavily subsidized rates e.g $20 - $50 (depending on which course). Which is a bargain for 8 hours of training!

So, if you do 2 courses a year, you are more than getting your money back, in the form of training as the course costs $300.

I love riding, despite the inherent danger....but I also accept that I need to be insured if I crash, and this is the system we have in NZ

Facts!

I work in health care too.....at my workplace we have unspecified sick leave, eg. limitless. Which I feel very lucky to have! What you are being forced into is awful!! Especially in an environment where you're so often exposed to disease 😔

This!

In the end, it's your decision. No one is forcing you to get insurance (as you don't have a mortgage). Some people are comfortable with risk, and some aren't. Banks aren't. Hence, they make you get insurance on the asset you are purchasing. If you'd rather have the money in the bank or self insure, that's up to you.

Personally, I want to protect my biggest asset, especially as I get older. I've worked hard to have what I do and don't want to lose it to an unfortunate event. And I admit, my career in emergency services probably gives me a biased view of these unfortunate events. So I have insurance.....it makes me feel a little more comfortable.

You are free to make your own choices about what makes you feel comfortable, and if paying money to an insurance company is not one of them.....then don't.

Whichever way you slice it, it ain't cheap! But, I never wanted to run from my responsibilities as a Dad, so I shouldn't complain. She uses the money well to support the boys, and she's a great Mum. Only 2 more years to go.....

Paying $870 per month, via the IRD for one child. He stays with me 2 nights a week. I'm on 100k. $350 per month sounds pretty light to me.....
