Ride, 06/11/05 leaving Papakura AB

[justsomeguy]

I'm out, cos my pistons did a runner and dissappeared down the motorway

[Toast]

Im on the shore and keen to go (weather dependant) but looks good at this stage, can arrange to meet somewhere if needed.

Cheer Mack and Weasel, but decided I won't go now...study for Chinese exam among other things.

Have fun y'all

[White trash]

apart from running low on treads in the middle... is that I have done 6'500k's on it. For me... they are not confidence inspiring. And they have a scary lean angle (dip) when you crank over too much.

Have had M1 front and Z6 Rear on my SV and was very very happy... hence going in that direction....

Is RR looking at some 014's? I say get the Z6 or M1 or mix... can't go wrong. Am getting them on Weds... will report shortly there after

Hmmmm, interesting. I lost all faith in the M1s riding Jimbo600s K5 at manfield in the manner it was meant to be ridden. I found them particularly squirmy and horrble. But then, at the risk of sounding like a wanker, I probably ride alot harder than most would.

The only experiance I've had with the 014s was doing that road test when the K4 600 was first released and I thought then that they were the mutts nuts.

Hope any shet weather holds off for ya's, have a fkn good blast, enjoy it while you can TS chances are i'll be a track boffin soon too would love to come out on the POS that is the TL, but i think if a certain HP sees me i'm toast, and the TL dosent exactly blend in with the crowd.
Plus i'm still up from Saturday, crook as for some odd reason.

[sAsLEX]

arse slept in see yous soon

[pyrocam]

mmmm me too. having a good ride i hope
edit: oh yeah. thats why, and my bikes in the shop too. :slap:

[M1CRO:Me]

Well, unfortunately I am home earlier than I would have liked.. What started out to be an awesome ride (I counted 21 bikes I think), rapidly dropped off by one just out of Tuakau (namely me!)..

Dam nail in tyre decided that it didnt want to stay in there and the rear tyre rapidly deflated and the wobble started around a long 65km/hr bend. Kept it together (even with a pillion) and had to come to a stop. Got it fixed (first time I have had to fix one on the side of the road), but decided it was better to turn around and head for home... Got back to the Autobahn at Papakura and the tyre went down again

Got it fixed a second time and just made it home.

Thanks to the KB'ers that stopped and helped and I hope I didnt hold the rest of the pack up for tooo long.. (on a Hayabusa - yeah right! )
Never mind, hope to see you all the next time around....

Anyone know of a good deal I can get on front and rear Pilots this week?

[_Gina_]

Was a great ride, I thoroughly enjoyed myself on the VTR, well other than softly dropping it

Thanks for waiting for me, catch you all on the next one, by which time I will be just that little bit faster.

Gg

[Two Smoker]

Awesome ride, cheers for everyone coming, it was the last one for me for a while (as well as the first....) Great riding by everyone, and hope to see you out there again eventually...

[bane]

great day, enjoyed the ride. weather improved to end up stinking hot.

Thanks to:
- Quasi, for the gloves (too cheap Bret, I would have paid at least $70.50 ). These are a steal guys, dont hesitate.
- WT, for showing...ahem... just how fast a SV650 can go... (given how carefully you were looking after it of course!)

one bin (well it wouldnt be a 22 ride without one!). Special mention to Mac-the-knife, who did an awesome job looking after the injured rider.
