Hey stephen any luck on your kwakas and the dr and the gns, I was thinking you might as well keep buying old unrideable bikes, after which you can build a giant monument out of old bikes to please the biker god that maybe one day you will buy a bike off trademe that runs lol *jokes*, yeah an rs250 or a clubman or something else maybe..it's a surprise.

You need to understand that this site exists for the sole purpose of taking piss and organizing rides, and then taking the piss in person when you meet for the ride. Harden up.

[ital916]

I really should have said that that was a piss take lol Harden up, i'm loving this, i can't wait to give it back eh, now when do I get to see your shiny new sv mate!

[Hanne]

If you go kaiaua I will meet you on my way back from Cambridge!
Fish and chippies mmmmm.....
(Actually Kaiaua was the first open road trip I ever went on, only THAT time we didn't have time for lunch :weep: Time to make up for it soon)

[ital916]

You have a dr250 now hanne! Whats it like....can I have a go on it pleeeaaaaaasssseeeeeeeeeeee? :cool: Madison won't like you playing with another bike, I've learnt the hard way how angry jealous bikes can get. lol

Hi Hanne, can I ride that DR too? You dont need to tell Steven....muahaha

[motorbyclist]

oooh a DR! watch out madison doesn't get jealous though, and trust me bikes do get jealous just like 2 strokes like to sulk after you hurt their feelings (or ride them, leave them, let them get too cold, let them get too hot, ride them too hard, ride them too soft, etc etc)

i'll bring my yzf over and we can go tear up the dilworth sports feilds:devil2:

What are you talkin about? Your bikes written off :rolleyes:

:lol:

:cool:

[MGST]

Sorry fellas, I'm not coming now. I just realised Sunday 20th is V8 Supercars in Hamilton. So I'll be propping up the lounge suite cheering on anyone in a Holden ( except Paul Morris and Russell Ingall :tugger: ). You boys ( and girls? ) have fun :scooter:

[motorbyclist]

traitor!

burn him!

[BANZAI]

Nice to meet some of you guys at Strata yesterday.

Hey Stephen, it must be MGST's bike I saw at near HSB Building parking that I was talking about.

I WANT ONE!!!! :p

[MGST]

Well Mr Banzai, it *may* be for sale around October / November time when I leave the Land of the Long Refugee Queue and head over to the big piece of red dirt. But I may keep it and take it with me. Depends how good the offers are...:whistle:

[BANZAI]

If you have seen my previous thread about 50cc Honda, im pretty broke at the moment...

I can spend $1000+ on bike but I think your ones gonna cost more than that I suppose....

[Macstar]

Got my cast off today!!! Turns out a bone in my wrist is just chipped not broken. Even if I did have my bike back though, I don't think the wrist would be up to a Sun spin unfortunately...

[motorbyclist]

farking sweet as dude!

i know a westie neighbour of mine rode his dirtbike with a similar cast on his right hand. the riding itch was worse than the wrist pain

[shingo]

Someone come on the 250 coro loop with a wrist cast on as well, so it can be done.

[Magua]

I can't make it. My fork oil is leaking like there's no tomorrow. :@

[EJK]

Uh oh... Sounds like trouble... Time for another Steves spanner night?

[klyong82]

I can't make it. My fork oil is leaking like there's no tomorrow. :@

Stevo must have sabotage it since it is a Honda while it was there...

[Squiggles]

I can't make it. My fork oil is leaking like there's no tomorrow. :@

the seals gave way?
Both forks or just one?

you didnt have any pitting below the triple clamp :mellow:

[Magua]

They're both leaking. I've removed the wheel, getting to the forks. Where can I find a bolt with a 14mm head? 14mm allen keys are fucking expensive.

[Squiggles]

I dont remember what sized bolts those were that we used... they werent special or anything

Hmm, both, perhaps grab some new seals from cycletreads? They had a lot of them there on a rack and a catalogue, i got some for the dr250 from there

[Magua]

They would have been 14mm, that's what size is needed. I'll try flipping one of the seals over and pumping the fork to see what happens before replacing them.

Edit: Going to the bolt shop tomorrow!

[Squiggles]

If the bolt shop is as far as epsom drop by and take one of the bolts

[motorbyclist]

didn't you guys just do the seals?

how much more oil did you put in there compared to what came out?

[Squiggles]

didn't you guys just do the seals?

yer, we did the seals. Probably only got 50ml out, with a bunch of sludge. There was meant to be something like 150 in it, cant remember, t'was in the manual

[Magua]

137-143cc. We put in 138.

[motorbyclist]

and now all leaky? lol did stephen sneak some suzuki parts in there while no-one was looking?

[kevfromcoro]

So what is it?? north or down here.....can u place some meeting times and places..might meet up with yas..do a bit of the loop..

[Magua]

Totally hi jacking this thread, what did we use to remove the fork seals the other day?

[Squiggles]

Main post updated

We used a flatblade to lever the old one out, had to move it around the edge while tapping the screwdriver to lever them out

Dear god, yet we put them in the way the others came out? :buggerd: Perhaps thats the reason for the lack of oil to start with...

If you're game enough you can ride the gn at its current max speed (70k) all the way, that'd almost be punishment for last ride :lol:

[Macstar]

As for you Hungus... Are you over your lycra phase yet? I seem to recall a pair of hotpants and vest being worn to Strata once?!

[Macstar]

Me :devil2:

I thought you'd be doing the Coro loop today? If so, stay at the back - with 63 signed big bike riders... well, I don't really want to finish the sentance.

[Squiggles]

Count me out...got house renovation to finish urgently.

Noo, i need a honda rider to follow up the rear, as they all do :2thumbsup

[glice]

na, didnt know it was on. not sure what you mean, are they fast?
I think I'm going trail riding anyway.


Noo, i need a honda rider to follow up the rear, as they all do

the only reason hondas ever hang at the back is if they think the suzis might brake down and need some help :Pokey:

[Squiggles]

[2wheeljunkie]

[motorbyclist]

yeah steve posted so i assumed they finished riding

math has been less than ideal
monday to thursday was spent finding a basic cos and sin round the wrong way mistake
friday was almost entirely spent trying to find a bug in some code, put a 3 where a 4 should be....
saturday up until 5 minutes ago spent trying to find a mistake, now i've found the correct answer, but not how/why i was wrong before... should finish the project in a few hours provided i get all the code done correctly....

should've been finished by wednesday<_<

[klyong82]

You mean "noooooo" production at my illegal 7 room sweatshop will cease. Or are you talking about your other business? The imported Asian slave girls brothel?

I have no idea of where you get such idea from ... I do not engage in such unethical activities:nono:. Whats a sweatshop :innocent: production :blank:


Noo, i need a honda rider to follow up the rear, as they all do :2thumbsup

Mine you I am always side by side when I ride with you...

[2wheeljunkie]

So have fun guys!

oooh, I will help! We painted my downstairs a while back. It is a barnyard red. Of course the colours need to reflect the mood you want to create. What sort of ambience are you after?

[glice]

Ah, so its the "get em while they're down" approach

no its because honda riders are loving caring people who just want to help :lol:

how was the ride?

[klyong82]

oooh, I will help! We painted my downstairs a while back. It is a barnyard red. Of course the colours need to reflect the mood you want to create. What sort of ambience are you after?

Its only a bathroom not gonna create any ambient in there...so I am just going for marble white all the way... modern style...woohoo...


no its because honda riders are loving caring people who just want to help :lol:

how was the ride?

Yeah Honda riders/drivers care for unreasonable people like you Stevo. Take a look at Honda F1 Team with their environmental approach. :eek:

[ehab2weelr]

no its because honda riders are loving caring people who just want to help :lol:

how was the ride?

hondas r just suzu wana bees :rolleyes: :Pokey:

[2wheeljunkie]

[klyong82]

My Honda looks nicer than all your suzuki's :devil2: Its faster than stevo's TL too...muahahaa

[motorbyclist]

no its because honda riders are loving caring people who just want to help :lol:

[Macstar]

My Honda looks nicer than all your suzuki's :devil2: Its faster than stevo's TL too...muahahaa

Uh oh! dem be fighting words! Can vouch your bike's kumaras Kim (tried it twice), dunno bout the TL...? Meremere drag strip?

[2wheeljunkie]

i think meremere drag strip it is then...atleast then me and ehab can finally determine whose bike has the extra hp..:girlfight:..ahahaha

[Macstar]

2nd big match up of the day GPX vs GSX

We could do the RRRS course in the morning and then the drag racing would be safer (where's the munted hillbilly smile?).

[shingo]

ooooh, we could do drag races on the airstrip.

Tho i hear it's a bit rough, but hell, that just adds to the fun of it.

[2wheeljunkie]

yes..i think issac's hit another brialliant idea..safety in the morning and a little adreline rush in the afternoon..then a 12 box of beers goes to the winners of the day....:beer:...:2thumbsup

[Hanne]

then me and ehab can finally determine whose bike has the extra hp..:girlfight:..ahahaha

Bet it's Madison!:2thumbsup:2thumbsup

[MGST]

ooooh, we could do drag races on the airstrip.

Tho i hear it's really goddamn fucking rough

Fixed it for you, coz yours was slightly understated ( assuming it is the same as the last time I was there ).
