Like a lot of other people we've got a Jack Russell terrier, called Beau. He's my eldest son's dog, which means he's my dog as well!

I would post a photo but he won't stay still long enough.

Yep try out the ones that appeal to you.

I actually downsized to the 300 because of it's smaller size and weight. Being a somewhat older and smaller chap these are welcome.

In reality top...

I've been riding for 40 odd years, and like a lot of older riders I can afford pretty well any motorcycle I want (with planning approval from Mr S of course). I had intended to get an MV Augusta F3...

I remember when the original SR500 came out. Whilst this one is much improved with EFI, and no doubt updated suspension, tyres etc it seems an awful lot on money for something which must be dirt...

If the bike is dirty I use a product called MotoMuck (local product in NZ). Spray it on a dry bike.

Have a cup of tea (or wait 10 minutes), hose off.

Then use Muc Off bike wash, using a soft...

I've owned a few and ridden lots of bigger bikes. I'm in my mid fifties,and although I'm a bit heavier (actually not a lot), I'm the same size as Marc Marquez and Cal Crutchlow.

You'll be surprised. I was scared sh&*less about getting back on my bike after my accident. Took about 100 yards and a gearchange and everything just fell into place.

Actually it's still a bit...

I've had the Street Radials on my 300 for 3 months now. I'm really pleased with them. They give good feedback, nice soild front end, and good grip in the wet. Can't comment on longevity yet.

It's a good idea. Adds a bit of protection for your swing arm in the case of a mishap.

Waxed it, checked the tyres, cleaned the chain, waxed it again. My SE is very, very shiny.

Also cleaned and waxed my helmet, cleaned and reproofed by boots.

Down here we tend to nod rather than wave. We drive on the left hand side of the road so the whole waving thing is a bit awkward, and we Kiwis also tend to be a bit reserved so are a bit shy about...

It surely is. But then anything (bar Australia of course) is a long way from NZ. Flew to S Korea to catch up with our younger son in Seoul. 11 hours to Singapore, and then another 6 to Seoul. Mrs...

Ha, ha. No, I'm afraid it's just a good memory. Always fun to have a few obscure words tucked away to bamboozle the unwary.

Having had the pleasure of riding the original XT and SR 500s when they were new, and owning an FT400 (for a short time), I think you'll really need to want an old fashioned bike to buy the 'new' SR....

Strange question. Obviously if you're sliding along, you want to relax, get your arms close to your body, and pray that you don't hit something solid like a curb, or get run over by a car! (Presuming...

I ride in the rain a lot over here. I've got a Shoei Qwest with a pinlock insert. This works really well. Basically close my visor when I start riding and don't need to open it again until I get to...

Thanks for your kind words. Pleased to see that some of you have rellies down in the Land of the Long White Cloud, and even more pleased to see that I may not be the oldest reprobate on the board.

Hello from the land of the Hobbits

Hi. My name is Paul and I live in Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. I've had my Ninja 300SE for almost a year, after deciding I wanted a smaller lighter bike.

I'm probably a bit older...
