Hi
Thank you for the welcomes. I live way south in norway about 6 hr from Oslo. Less on a GTR:)
I like this forum, very informative. I already learned that the black GTR's is faster:)

One thing i would like to know is how to adjust the mirrors. Think mine is stuck.

Already had some of it in bits as i instaled my 660 and autocom. Thanks to the helpfull post here i was suprised to find so much room under the seat.

The bike have had two previous ovners, first one was Kawasaki Norway and used as a demo bike. Then it was bought by a Kawasaki dealer and used by ovner as his private bike/demo.
The seat is kawasaki gel and at first i did not like it but now its ok. Also came with a kawasaki gtr cover. Witch is handy as i work on oilrigs and park at the airport for 2 weeks at the time.

Im sure il have loads of questions in the future

Somthing funny.. Im slling the ZZR on a norwegian site. And today i was contacted by this dude in Manchester. He want me to give him my paypal and then have the bike shipped to UK. Funny thing is that you can buy a ZZR for 1/3 of the cost in norway. If its to good to be true it most likly is to good to be

Cheers

[JohnnyTh]

Arg, Still no riding my beloved GTR. New seat that need to be tested and im still on this dam ship.
ATM we are outside of Singapore. hve been her for 2,5 weeks now and will be another 2,5 weeks until we Reach Mauritsius.
And Norway have the best summer in years... And im stuck here.. 

[JohnnyTh]

Finaly i see the end of this. In 3 more days Im in Mauritius and will disembark the ship. Sadly i need to spend two days waiting on a Beach there With a drink or two before flying home on monday 

Atleast we did get to see a tourist sight. The active Volcano Krakatoa. It had a huge eruption in 1863. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatoa

Here is a pic as we sail past.

[Charlie747]

Now that is a beautiful view 

[JohnnyTh]

Beautifull and Deadly. In 1863 it killed 36.000 People and changed the weather on Earth for 3 years. The higest mountain you see on the Picture is whats left of 1/3 of the original isle. the rest was blown away. The bag was heard in Australia.

Maybe you will like this view to. Even if its just a cloud

[Charlie747]

   The sooner we get you off that boat the better 

[Lonewolf]

Impressive and very interesting too. Do you actually do any work on that Tug of yours or are you always dreaming about riding the GTR and taking piccy's? 

By the way, I think Charlie had a huge eruption once, not in 1863 obviously, I think he said it was in 1993, come to think of it, I'm not sure now whether he said eruption.....it sounded something like that.......

[JohnnyTh]

Hehe 1993. I have hear about that. But I heard it was a one time only. Krakatoa have had several eruptions.

I do a littel Office work mainly. A few times i og out and get my hands dirty but i try to avoid that. Dont wana get dirt on my camera.
Im a supervisor for Insulation, painting and scaffolding. Main task is to coordinate this work and planning.
Rest of the time i dream about my GTR!

BTW im not on a tug. Im on Petrojarl Knarr, a FPSO. A rather large ship.


We are 122 People on Board. My team is 22 men. 12 of them on nightshift. So i need to work day and Nights 

[Lonewolf]

It must be terrible for you travelling the tropical waters for lengthy periods whilst you 'supervise' your staff!
