Nice!  What year?

2001

So, no electric start. Which means no battery in the airbox, better breathing, and more hp.

Lol, how's your health insurance?

Will it fit in a microwave oven?

I had another look at the pic!

I saw the price on the fuel bowser. Was that $32.80 for 20.774 gallons?

If so that's $32.80 for 78.63 liters.

If so that's only 43 ish US cents a liter.

That's about 61 AUS cents a liter.

If so, all I can say is blooming heck!

It's about $1.19 AUS / 0.84 US per litre here at the moment!

You lucky buggers! Lol!

My health insurance is very good. Haha

And I'm working on modding the microwave to run with the door open, so I can hold it up against the bike.  ;D

Yeah.

Gas prices are really low here right now.

It wasn't long ago that they were more than twice what they are now, so that was about the same as what you guys are paying.

We're paying $1.79/US gallon, but it varies statewide.

$1.89ish for regular at the cheaper stations here, can be as high as $2.29.  On the other hand, diesel can range from $2.29 to well over $4.00

No shit!  :D I've been learning Aussie speak from our forum friends here, and using it on rednecks in AL. It makes for some funny conversations.  ;)
