Black, 06 red, and kawi green are my favs. That color scheme sucks I think.

I like bean07's red '10 model, really sharp. By the way bean, how did you come up with the handle bean07? Just curious, everyone has a story.

I always liked the titanium color of the 2005 Zx-10r, might look really cool on a special edition version of the 14.

ROFFL!!

Sorry , Bean. I won't poke too much fun since you never once called me on my numerous attempts to use that awesome Aussie slang........

The word handle in the US means a bar or protrusion affixed or part of an object so that it may be grasped.

"Handle" also means name here. So Kruz is asking where the name BEAN came from. What's the story, mate?

After looking at the rack on the back of his 14 its the size of his brain!

Sorry bean, rook is right, handle is slang terminology for your online name. Bean07 is an unusual "handle" and I was wondering how you came up with it. I have had a lot of folks ask me how I came up with Kruz, it's a bastardized version of cruise or cruiser since I started riding a cruiser after years of being off of streetbikes. I quickly became bored with the plodding pace of a cruiser though and got back into sport bikes...but the name stuck. I once met up with a fellow 14 rider down in San Antonio who assumed I was Hispanic because Kruz is a popular surname down there. He was shocked when this white guy showed up...LOL!

Be nice Buck20, I've known a few Aussies and I can explain the oversize luggage rack. Here in the states, we worry about hitting a deer, down there they have to contend with kangaroo. If they nail one...well... it'd be a shame to waste all that fresh meat so it get's strapped down on the luggage rack and then straight home to the "barbie".

J/K Bean, I'm sure you have some good stories about us crazy Yankees!

mmmmmmmmmmm grilled kangaroo!! I reckon the tail steaks are the best part. fillet min-roo.

Bloke nails 'imself a big one and 'e 'as 'imself a new suit of leathers.

Bean07 has been MIA lately, anyone heard from him?

kruz bean came from my mum before I could,nt walk (babby) she answered her phone then turned around,I was half way up the unclad wall of a house being built next door ! she shreaked "BEAN" (stevey bean) so that was my family "nick name" when I met my wife (nadene)she without knowing this just started to call me BEAN! I asked her why she picked bean did my family tell you !no they did not !!!!! she said your like a machine so I'll call you bean ! brain is the size of a rack NOT from wear and "how I live" not from where I am I think there aint to much more buck20 "mind can desire" ANYWAY nets going down fer 2 weeks in case im MIA

OK thanks Bean...now I gotta tell ya...that luggage rack thingie has got to go. I never noticed it before cause you always are shooting pics in the garage and I guess I just thought it was part of the background clutter. Seriously Bean, that looks like the one I had on my old Schwinn bicycle back when I was a kid except I had the ape hanger bars and baseball cards in the spokes to go with it. Your bike deserves better! JMHO

There's a pic of the bag on his rack in his avatar there.So much for "centralized loading" Seriously Bean....hope yer feeling better as each day goes by....awesome pics of your house(?)Beautiful!

And Kruz...I KNEW IT! Not that you were white,but that your nickmame meant "cruiser"...the Harley thing or whatever.I don't know HOW I knew...but I did? Glad ya came to yer senses about what kind of bike to ride!!!

That is a gorgeous house you have there Bean but I'm serious, ditch the luggage rack before I have to fly over there and take it off for ya!

All this talk about Roo has got me hungry for some fine Aussie cuisine, I think I'll head on over to the "Outback" and see what's grillin on the barbie.

* Last updated by: Kruz on 10/27/2010 @ 7:10 AM *

That was a little harsh, sorry!
