it tis Brad, and I believe you have done all the services on it since new. Any thing you can tell me bout my bike? Will be coming to see you again in about 4000 k's, you come highly recomended. From what I understand the bike was brought new from moto aswell it's a 900Sie with dark bodywork? from memory the first owner's name was mike. he ordered a black 900Sie. when he came to get it he said "no, i wanted a black one" which the salesman finally worked out meant a dark. so they had the "the dark model is the base model, you can't get a dark S" - "but i want one" talk and we ended up putting dark body work onto the S. i think that's how it went. he didn't do many km then a guy named brad bought it? |

is that AA902 (or something like that?)
Geez Brad, you really get to know the bikes you look after. 
can you imagine how good this shot would would look with a tail chopped? mate, this bike is meant to have it done ... with this short pipe it will look so much more proportional .... >>just do it<<
..... you won't regret it
I would like to, but I do using it for commuting so I don't want all the spray come up my back in the wet. I'm thinking about the shorty CF tray, like you had, but still not sure. I'f I get approval from Mi Chica Diabla for a 2nd bike, then I think a chop would be on the cards. |

I understand what is being said about the exhaust and the chop does look pretty clean & minimalist - but (there is always a but), I think it sort of adds a weird bit of balance to all that 'stuff' you have up front on the S4R.
It is so busy up front it doesn't hurt to have something happening at the back.

Geez Brad, you really get to know the bikes you look after. not really. some of them just stick in your mind, and this was one of them. we've seen it fairly recently, but didn't for a long time after it was sold. you're never sure if it's because the owner's just not riding it or he thinks we're morons and has gone elsewhere. |

yeah thats right on the money, nah it hasn't done many kms so think thats the reason, the owner had a second bike, and he spoke pretty highly of you guys when i brought it off him.

bit of porn from my mid-week trip for an Emu pie at Parker's Pies in Rutherglen...it's a tough life I lead!
Aaah the memories......, drove back many a time from rutherglen to brunswick with the arse of the mazda dragging on the ground after loading up with cellar door specials.  Best fortified wines in the world IMHO. |

yes, I rode past some very nice wineries..we are lucky to have such great fortified wines in this country...and also lucky that 99% don't even know we have them so they are CHEAP!
there's some good riding around the border isn't there? Think I might go up and spend a few days.
Interested in the Wodonga - Corryong - Towong - Tintaldra - Bungil Albury loop - bout 200km of nice riding I've heard.
