A New Year. A new challenge. That means a new motorbike tour. Regular readers of this forum may recall my contribution last year, detailing my 21,000 km , 22 country swing through Europe on my 2008 Suzuki V Strom 650. I finished the blog by hinting I was contemplating a tour of Morocco and Turkey in 2012. Well I have contemplated and I am off in April 2012 for a four month tour. This year the trip will not be entirely solo as a couple of friends want to join ...
[QUOTE=.produKt;1130218719]Care for a massive story? Well I have one for you, if you're keen on reading it March 2010, I bought this Honda CBR250RR off a lovely chap in Dunedin with the same name as I. Took Atomic super budgetshuttle down to Dunedin and killed 4 hours around Dunedin until I could collect it (at 5pm) , and ride back to CHCH. Had an ear to ear grin on my face nearly the whole way back to Christchurch.Except for when I ran out of gas in Rolleston ...
Today was the Wgtn Uly end of year / Christmas BBQ. It is normally just a BBQ near Rivendell at Kaitoke, but this year we incorporated a local ride and some Slow Handling, so we changed the venue to Karori West School. I had a quick look at the site yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to see we had enough space on the tennis courts to set-up three courses, instead of just the one I had been planning, so I rang Ken this morning to advise that I would miss the ride and go direct ...
Saturday The reason for fitting the dual purpose tyres was a weekend of exploring the Queen Charlotte and Pelorus Sound. I’ve been around the Nelson-Picton area several times already, but normally on tight schedules, going up Takaka Hill, across to the West Coast or heading south to Christchurch. This time, I guess I could have done a couple of long days going down the west coast for example, but I’ve done most of the roads before, and will do a lot of them in February. ...
Once again, I was tasked with the burden of work requiring me to be in Wellington for the Friday, to complete some new computer installs and some other items. With the staff in Auckland for the company function I would be left to my devices (and make sure it was all functional for their return on the Monday morning). The boss was prepared to fly me down to Wellington and back on the day, but it would mean a long day… and oh wait… no riding. He knew I would prefer to ride (is there ...
A brand new regenerative braking mechanism has recently been revealed by Mazda Motors. The system utilizes kinetic power from braking to power the automobile's electrical system. The system has been named i-ELOOP, which is a play on the saying "intelligent power loop." The system is intended to make an internal combustion vehicle function as almost as possible like a hybrid vehicle. I found this at: New Mazda regenerative braking system to roll out Changing ...
This is my first bike.
