Picked this up today.  

Hyosung Fx - seems a bit of an odd ball in NZ, haven’t ridden it too far yet but seem to go well enough for me. 

Look forward to seeing what you do with it.  Very different and unique!

Any Tauranga people thinking of going?

Oh snap! beat me to it!

Wheelie boys will infiltrate the bike cops and then there'll be wheelie bike cops

I think I might have a terrible quality res pic somewhere - Will have a browse of the hard drive when I can.

Speaking of low res pic

TT

Nice pics!  

I love your mental justification / explanations on low and ride height.

I find myself going through those thoughts very often!!!

This Capella also has the rubber over riders - so presume it was just a factory option - or maybe a ‘special’ extra for the GR models

I have been looking at them, the rules only say to protect the legs from what I can see, no other standards

 

No mention of helmets either but I assume its a requirement 

Yep that was the first check if passengers were legal.  And yep you're right, legs protected if the bike doesn't have footpegs, and yep pretty much helmet would be required.

Might just pull the trigger on the one I linked.  

Did a search, but couldn't find info.

Has anyone bought a kids seat for scooter / bike before?

I'm going to be doing the daycare drop off on the scooter soon, and was looking at these.

Have people on here used FC Moto?

Are they all good for international purchases?

Curious to know the fate of a few of the old havik cars @oldrx7 These and the green s3 rx7. Might be common knowledge for some but yeah just curious what happened to these

 

Cullen and Dabuzz summed it up.

Enile8 808 wagon is now NOBAIL, 20B build on insta has heaps of cool pics.

DSTRYR 808 is still green, 13b turbo - pic from 2018 nats show n shine.

2 tone seven is still getting around, last I saw it was a little run down, but it pops up on FB threads every now n then.

I wonder if the scooter one is worth doing? 

Itll probably tell me to under no circumstances do all the things I enjoy doing. (Lane splitting to the front of the queue at every red light, and hole shot'ing everyone 2.8 seconds after the side light turns red)

I did the scooter survival thing shortly after beginning to ride.

We did a brake test thing in a carpark which was eye opening, basically get up to 50kmh and attempt to stop as quick as possible.  Learned that front brakes are better than back brakes etc etc.  Good way to test, without being in a scary situation.

Yep that’s the one ^^

Was getting around with a 13B turbo in it for a while.  Sam Longley owned it for a bit a year or so ago too, but pretty sure he sold it rolling body.

That's a lot of $$$$$$

Probably optimistic in my pessimistic view.

Fair enough - 2.5k is a lot for a bonnet!!!!  Either way, car looks amazing.

I was going through pics I've got and trying to figure out which bonnets would belong on what car.  Not many of the pics I've got would have 'correct' bonnets fitted to the year.

What's the difference's in the series of RX2 bonnets?  Big bulges with no vents, vs small bulges with vents?
