Ok I can not give it to you today, but over the weekend of the 5th, 6th, and 7th May we have our Association Of Motorcycle Industry manufacturers (AMID) show. It really is brilliant. Held at the Kyalami racetrack all the manufacturers bring their bikes and for a small insurance fee we can get to ride them around the track. The Goose pay's for all my rides as my birthday present.
I want to ride the Kawasaki Mean Streak, the Kawa ER-N/F and the Triumph Rocket.
Tell me want you want me to ride and why, and I will pay to ride that bike and give you my impressions. Can't ride them all so make it good.
Also, sorry but HD will not be there.
What a birthday present, I can't wait.

Your Goose rules.
If you feel like straddling a sports bike, try the Triumph Daytona 675. I'd really like to know about its' size/power as well as comfort for however big you are. I have short legs.
.
Thank you.

Try out the ZX-14
I would really like to hear a first hand account of how this bike accelerates and handles. I would also like to know if it has any real use as a streetbike. No, I am not planning on getting one, the bike is just really hyped.
Maybe you shouldnt, I wouldnt want you to start feeling like your K1200S is slow

What's an ER-N/F? Google doesn't know, either.
In any case, have fun out there! The only thing even remotely like the AMID around here is Honda Homecoming's demo rides, but those are all Hondas, of course.

Ohh, I want to know how the Rocket III is too. And the ER-6N (or whatever version of it you are riding. That is the naked version of the Ninja 650R in the states, correct?
How about pictures? Will the Goose take pictures of you riding?
If you happen to get a chance, try out one of those sweeet BMW K1200S's
(I'd take the R version, personally... mmm... hot).
Actually, if you get the chance to test the Yamaha Warrior, could you make note of its handling characteristics. I've heard reviewers say it can't hold a line... then I've heard users say it handles great. If you aren't feeling the warrior, the M109R would be an acceptable replacement

DUH OK,
The Kawa ER- 600 naked and or ER -600 fairing

As for pictures, may be difficult the Goose will be on the back
So we are up to:

Well, if you ride the Mean Streak, I would just be curious to know how you like it. But since I already know about the Mean Streak, I'd like to also know how the Rocket rides.
Cheers,
Loonette
