Not sure if I should put the details of the shop here but it was outta Brissy and an awesome deal, cheap fast postage etc.
Pm me if you'd like their details or someone say if it's cool to recommend a dealer on the forum.
PS....ride a zxr do you? Had a '93 750 once

In more than a dozen firearms bought through that site only one shonky, and that from a high profile NSW dealer who didn't check condition of the breech before listing as "good operating condition", but a rare enough rifle that I didn't care too much, Cheers (from a Z1000 MkII owner)
Ecobogan wrote:Hahaha! People like that shouldn't abuse drugs, they've got feelings too. Very old joke, older than that ZXR I had.
Sure thing mate, they seem to wholesale from what I gathered so couldn't say for sure they'd have exactly what your after. No doubt they could prob get it in and had a 'can do' attitude.
I'd use them again.
If your down near the Dandenong ranges, read that on your other thread, the civil engineers would've had to have been all ex sportsbikers l reckon by the style of some of those corners!
We used to get into all sorts of healthy mischief through there.
I'm giving bike riding a wee break for a bit....bikes up for sale is the final call.
Got a supercharged SV1000 cafe racer that cost me so many arms n legs I'm pretty much just a body with a head. Nasty quick it is too...170hp 165kg
Anyway all this talk ain't getting you a rifle so pm sent.
Take it easy n good luck

Without hijacking this into a bike thread the black spur is the best thing to happen to this country I reckon... until they put cops up trees and busted everyone. Didn't prevent any accidents just made a lot of revenue.
The ZX-6R would be perfect through there too I'd think...tried Chum Creek Rd? Also good.
Yes the SV likes a good freeway power mono and will fry in 1st n 2nd.
But all the bikes I've owned combined wouldn't be worth what No1Mk3's Z1000 would fetch.
That's a very rare and tasty machine there mate, a friend had a nice one in the mid 90's and they were becoming hard to get even back then.
Have fun lads
ZXRR wrote:Has anyone else had a bad time putting up an ad looking for a rifle / item? I've put up two ads so far, and overall i feel very dissatisfied and it's definitely not worth the money (Depending on item i guess). All i get is emails from a bunch of daft people, who think because you want the item they will waste your time and try to over-charge you and make you believe a rifle like a M1903 is worth 5-6k even though you know better, and have collected rifles for some time now.
It's either those idiotic offers, or the usual "I've got that rifle" whats your offer, without sending details about the rifle or pictures.

Lake mountain up and down is pretty good...I don't think they have any cops there.... but only one way so can get in trouble. As the caretakers report number plates and cops will then wait at the bottom. For bikes I hear Brodford tracy is pretty special... or haunted hills... but not sure I'd they do bikes on haunted hills.... haunted hills in I reckon is the best 40-60sec anyone in a car can do.

MMMM wild turkey, not bad at all mate. Pretty much spot on about the spur, they really ruined it with all the speed cameras. But every now and then it's a fun ride. ZX6R was bred for it, nimble, and so easy to lean it over, the acceleration and throttle response is literally spot on especially when you want to power out of a corner. But you know whats better? the sound of the inline 4 screaming around such an area and the echos bouncing off the walls.

Not my video, I'm a law abiding citizen and follow the posted speed limits.

Mine is too but in a less refined or classy way, quite peaky for a V twin.
I bought the supercharger set up off a TL1000 race bike from the UK, at full boost he was getting 195rwhp...my dyno guy refused to boost it past 7psi, whimp. Told him I really don't care if it blows up just tell me what it'll do!! Nup...7 pounds.... whimp
The best mod by far though we're carbon fibre wheels....whips around like an R6.
SV1000's are sh@t bikes really, good motor, that luckily take gsxr everything else and the swingarm is the only virgin part. 20k build customs are good at only being worth 5k to sell too....um yeaap
I never made up through the snow fields mountains either and really should've....just drove my mud tyred BT50 through those roads like an idiot instead.
Wearing chicken strips off sure is a grand way to while away ones time that's for sure.
The vid threw a fit on my phone ZXRR will try later...liking this bike talk... had the Super Duke long Tassie Tiger?
