There was an article in the paper about Kawakawa Rd or something being closed because the hillside is falling down (all the storms and rain). Who's been down there recently? What's going on? Still OK to ride?

Hey bro, was down there on Saturday and it was closed off couple k's before Kawakawa bay central. Yep, due to the extent of the landslide the local bro told me it could be possibly a few weeks before it's going to be opened.

Everybody is walking couple k's and parking their cars just by the road block barriers.

Btw Andrew, you wanna post up a few photos of your new Honda? :Punk:

ideally a half day local loop would be good, but if i'm ahead of my work i could spare a day i guess

and could move it to friday too if weather permits

the only concievable "upgrade" for me and it's got less power:laugh:

better handling but a drop from 59 to 53 horse - but it's all carburation so an nc30 carb will knock it back up to 59... or an injector kit as my 4th year project;)

she's got a few small cracks but otherwise everything is where it should be:D

w00t, my NC30 paddock stand fits the NC35

and that muffler is bolt on, which means bolt off and on with a new one:D

gentlemen, meet the Riffer

sexy, sure you wouldnt be willing to commit to a half coro on a beautiful day with a new machine to get your kicks out of?? :shifty:

PirateJafa
2nd September 2008, 11:50
Don't like the stock muffler?

Or do you just want something more offensive?

well it's bolted on so i don't think it's stock anyway... although it is reasonably quiet

but then again, this way i have colour choice (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=173815710):laugh:

(gotta get her back up to 59 ponies somehow!)

insurance still waiting for police report

i'm going to gcall them after lunch to see if i'm still covered for my replacement bike. it's a bit of a grey area seeing as the claim hasn't been approved/declined yet and no-one has the bike!

Very nice ride Andrew(thought the rumour was you got a cbr600?), like Kim said, get some big fuck off locks on that thing.

Be real interested in seeing that thing in the flesh.

gah it might have to stay at home this week.

honda sure is the only group that will insure me with a sub-$1000 excess, but as yet i'm not even under provisional cover!

hopefully i'll atleast have the "14 days while we sort out paperwork" by friday


in the meantime i suppose i'd better find a big fuckoff chain and a roll of bubblewrap

Hi Andrew

Have attached the necessary insurance forms. Download the direct debit one and the insurance proposal. Print them off and fax back to ********. Once we have both of those, we will cover you. Remember to disclose everything.

I will put the membership forms and a magazine in the mail to you this afternoon. Regards


sweet!

19 year old full licenced with a few tickets on a '95 rfv400, $6000 full comprehensive cover:
$327 per year
$550 excess

they'll come pick me up if i go down
still covered after a beer provided i'm still legal to ride
$50 membership with the honda riders club gets me the equivalent to an AA membership (free tow, emergency petrol etc etc)

go HRC!

So, which insurance company you're with Andrew?

^^^ That would be Honda Riders' club insurance - through Golightly brokers underwritten by Vero.

They do sweet deals - The cynic in me almost thinks it is in some way subsidised by Honda just to keep people on Hondas (Though there's other reasons for staying on a Honda eh ;))

Sounds pretty sweet, hence the name is it exclusive to Honda riders only?

Thursday free after 11am but then if you guys are going earlier can change my schedule.

Friday free after 2pm, we should do some riding instead of chiller!!

I wanna see your bike! :woohoo:

Got your phone fixed?

motorbyclist
2nd September 2008, 19:01
gotten to the point now where i can either go vodafone to appease the masses, or go telecom to get the phone i want, check that bloody voicemail message and spend a flat $10 per month plus calls without worrying about credit to txt all the 027 mobiles out there (and i see telstraclear is entering the market too!)

a better ride will be out to wellsford, then leigh, then pakiri, down to omaha, back to warkworth, then woodcocks then to shell westgate, then albany, northshore ending in uni. I vote we do that.

I went south not long ago, road are good in places and bad in others, did scenic drive on a random note a day ago, that be a bad road to ride, dodged many a fallen tree branch on my way through, along with uneven lanes, crack, potholes and wandering animals haha.
