@ Hobbs

Ya thats true about the crime, you realy can't be too parenoid about it.
Opera Mini4 is a bit faster for me BUT it MUST BE the WORST browser ive EVER installd in a phone, i use it now mainly to come here, Symbian Freak and MySymbian. It tends to load the wrong page half the time, reload a page when i want to Quote, and it has caused my phone to restart 7 times since i got it.

I can just see it now. . . . . . me taking on Tiger Woods at the Nedbank Challenge in SunCity! LMAO!

@ Gucci,
Ya, just think: you could then have a different N-series phone for each day of the week if you wanted to, LOL. Some serious smartphone-piiiimmpiiiing....!

@ Jojo,
Just got my hands on a pair of brand new Japanese Tokico 6-piston gold front brake calipers, as fitted to the Hayabusa etc, for the TL1000S. Some really excellent stopping power. I've ordered some cool brake discs to go with these too. Will be fitting them all in the next month or so.

@pop - Nice Bike-calipers matey . . . Is it TRUE that the Nissin-caliper is EXCLUSIVELY being used to Honda Big Bikes While Brembo to Ducati (and other Italian Bikes)

Is the OLD one used in your Suzuki already worn-out (wear-and-tear) [addsig]

@ Jojo,
I think you're right about Nissin brakes on the Honda bikes, but I'm not sure. Brembo do supply brake master cylinders to other makes than Ducati, but their calipers are usually only standard on Ducati and another Italian make called Moto Guzzi. However, Aprilia (yet another Italian make) are also using them nowadays too, on the newer RSV Mille superbikes etc. When they first came out, they used to have (French) Beringer brakes.

The calipers and discs aren't at all worn on the TL, but these mega ones were going for such a cheap price (for what they are) that I found it too hard to resist...
Will probably sell the original discs and calipers, as I obviously won't be needing them again.

@ Jojo,
LOL no mate, they're not at all dilapidated; I don't believe in riding such powerful bikes without all the equipment being in tip-top condition.

The Kawa's brakes are also made by Tokico, but are some of the new generation radially-mounted calipers. Here's info on radially-mounted calipers:

BTW, love the drag race vid; that seriously suped-up Fiat smoked that Porsche, LOL.

Anywayz, past my bed time already. Have a good WHENsday, mate.
G'night.

JC, enjoy it bro Still a few days for me, thank goodness. We've been out at the beach for the past few days, using my father-in-law's caravan. Got roasted pretty well in the process too. Anybody fancy a 100kg lobster?

I've been using Opera Mini 1.23 for some time now;it's a modified version courtesy of our friends in the Eastern Bloc. I tried Mini 3 and 4 for a few days, but they're not as versatile as 1.23, although at times they loaded slightly faster. They also allow more text to be copied, but that's about the only real advantage which they have, and which is easily circumvented if one uses the notepad to copy and paste sections of text at a time.

Right, time for a quick dip before it starts getting hotter here.
I'm not superstitious, merely mildly stitious.
