Deals gap isn't it? Always fancied a crack at that. As I recall, you had the RC51 (we call it the SP2) as your avi not so long ago.



Wait...JK had a GPZ? I thought that was Geo? Just opened another browser and actually looked back on this thread...excellent stuff emerging from the shitstorm. 'Every cloud' and all that.



Friend of mine had the GPZ11-B2 which handled like a tea trolley and I used to despatch with a guy who rode the later A3 version. Hard to conceive of a more inappropriate bike for the West End of London. oh wait, I just did, there was another guy on a z13..he used to ride it straight over traffic islands to save time. Also knew someone with the 750 turbo, JK...which wasn't so afflicted by the lag which had ruined Suzuki's XN85.

Sounds like you all desperately wanted realise your Tom Cruise fantasies 'Knockers...whereas in a few years, after he's poached Pedro's seat the kids will all aspire towards a different Maverick.

Hey Keshav...whilst on the subject of demanding photographic evidence keep us updated on the Far East Odyssey will'ya?

I'll start the ball rolling. Here's one of Arrabb bored in a departure lounge at Dubai. Granted it's not 'first class' and not so much of a picolo of Dom Perignon to hand - I've noticed it doesn't roll with the locals...

The point is - I can be just as pedantic as Knockdown and cherry pick what ever beliefs fit my narrative as well as Knockdown. It really doesn't matter what say or what I post a picture of; the four of them will find some way to deny the credibility of anything I say. It's like listening to Fox News telling everyone that Obama is a secret Muslim. Jum and Johnny have posted more shameless lies and distortions about me than I can keep track of. No reason to believe any of them would ever cop to their lies. They've dug in too deep.

I feel fortunate to have just those 2 pictures of a great part of my youth. What teenager from the 80's owned a camera, nevermind took pictures of themselves. The GPZ pic was on a Polaroid. I never owned a Polaroid and I'm not even sure who took it.
I believe Kesh once stated he raced a Ninja 600( I think it was him) and complained that it didnt turn worth a .... but was unbreakable. This would've been a good time for him to have dialogue over something relatable, instead of trolling and instigating my post.
The GPZ 900 was called the Ninja 900 here. That was the Top Gun bike. GPZ had 4 models. The 550,750, 750 turbo and the rarer lumbering 1100. The 750 and up were typical of so many bikes of the late 70's early 80's. Railroad cars that didnt like to turn. My brother at some point had the newer generation 550 with the fairing and I recall it being fairly nimble compared to the 750.

Overkill - don't you think? Clearly like you and the Three Mouseketeers - he's drunk way too much of the Jumkie Kool Aid. I hear Jum's looking into some abandoned real estate in Jonestown where you call freely congregate without anyone ever contradicting anything he says. I hear the skies are not cloudy all day.

I thought you had posted a pick of your bike going to Indy?

So let me get this straight, Kesh the forum liar didnt believe you rode bikes. The guy with the least credibility asking the straight up dude for proof? Haha, hilarious. I swear there is no end to this ..... Ha!

The 12r was me, RC51 was my sons. Technically mine since I bought it, but it was his HS graduation gift. He actually screwed me, it was more of a deal than a gift. He was ....... off in school and we got a notice saying he was behind on his curriculum and was not going to graduate. As a former .... up myself, I later regretted not walking across the stage with my class so I made him a deal. If you graduate on time and walk across the stage with your class, I will buy you that RC 51 you have dreamed about. I didnt think he had a chance, but he put his nose to the grindstone and did it. At graduation, when he walked across the stage to receive his diploma, I screamed out "RC51 baby". Couple of thousand in attendance looked at me having no idea what I was talking about.

Ipoh is where lots of my Malaysian friends hail from. Great place.
Where in Penang are you staying? There's a funicular railway that takes you to a restaurant/hotel...with ok Steamboat, but great views.

It's a strange little place Ipoh. My friend Sundar who lives here is taking care of his mother and has stopped having much of a life. He is a very talented musician who gave up his career to take care of his ailing mother and is pretty much cut off from a social life. My wife and I will head to Penang in a few days and be staying with his cousin who was my drummer for many years. KK was a licensed tour guide for a while - so I'm guessing he'll know fun stuff to do.

I usually stay in guesthouses on Penang. It's changed a lot since I have been visiting. But if you can, head to Batu Ferrengi - Lone Pine. A 50's? resort with .... hot food. And cool colonial architecture. We used to treat ourselves there for a couple of nights.
And make your cousin sort you some Cha Kwei Tau <spelling?> on Penang. ....... magnificent.
