Very nice Cav, I'm unsure about quad bike hire, however you won't find a problem getting scooters, loads of people get them! Have a Fab time away, it's always nice to get away from the daily grind regardless of if you stay here or go away mate

Yeah I see lots of scooter hire places so can fall back on that if needs be.

You aren't wrong, Rossgo! It's come at a good time too because I had an awesome weekend just gone and I have almost 3 weeks off work now

When I was younger the highlight of family holidays for me was always hiring a jeep and exploring off road tracks. When I was small my dad would sit me on his knee and let me steer and as soon as I was tall enough I was allowed to drive. Good times!

Ventura is King Cookie. Why use anything else.

Loved it on my Blade. Would have used on kawacker but needed to drill plastics to fit. Kriega is good but Ventura is alot lot easier imo / experience.

Temp problem buddy. Seems it's the vehicle down sensor. Should be covered under warranty but easy and cheap fix if not. Will call the dealer tomorrow.

Have I missed something here Blade? Guessing we are talking about ZX10R due to warranty talk. What's up?
