howdy from NZ. nice story, had to laugh about the 'publish the wifes wieght on the internet' LOL!
hearing you on the GSXR too, i had one many years ago, and it was exciting to ride but i swapped it for a much more real world bike (GPz 900R) after about 12 months of ownership.
couldnt hack the sore wrists at low speed, back ache and she preferred to run high in the rev range(tacho didnt start till 3000 RPM).

im an ex serviceman also (signal corp) and salute you on your duty to your country, it takes guts to do it. NZ has a fairly steady commitment to Afghanistan and i have a few friends who are serving there at the mo.

so welcome to our world, awesome to have you here.

enjoy your new ride and stay safe too.
