    Looking to borrow a 40W indicator flasher unit so I can ride a sexy '74 Triumph Trident around the place without fear of numpties that dont know what hand signals are running me over. You'll get it back in about 2 weeks time.

    If anyone has a suitable flasher unit I can borrow that would be much appreciated (I'd put the Cagiva one on it but its only a 20W )

    Great Ride

    Great Ride tonight, beautiful mild night....until that wind picked up! some hair raising bends up along that summit road. First time across a cattle stop on a bike haha, and I'm sure it won't be the last!

    Nice to meet you Dan, It was nice to have another new kid on the block

    Have a great week folks I'll be studying the road code all weekend, basic handling course on Wednesday then sitting the big "L".

    Might be an option Captain C. If you want to, you go for it.

    Hey Mr B, any chance I could get a copy of the pics you took of us on the summit rd to use in the video?

    Could be nice to see the other side of this:

    I appreciate the offer but thats a tad small. Im not buying 4 new indicator bulbs for a bike that I dont own (current bulbs are all 24W bulbs in the Trident).

    If they were 9W bulbs I'd just swap the Cagiva flasher unit between the bikes as its a 30 second job.

    Weekend courses

    Hi out there in Kiwi Biker world - we have some spaces left on our heavily ACC subsidised training courses this weekend for new and experienced riders alike.

    Both courses cost only $50 each for four hours of small group training

    Slow pro (Sunday)is for those wanting to improve their slow riding skills essential in chch peak hour traffic, emerging intersections, filtering through traffic and generally looking like you know what you are doing when you pull up at the lights! We also cover emergency braking technique and some evasive techniques for when that car driver breaches your right of way( like they do every day!) We do this off the road on a big car park and is lots of fun as well as good learning.

    Kick-start (Saturday) is for those just completed their basic handling skills test and want to move on with their new bike and get to grips with it on the road in a controlled and helpful way with an instructor rather than a friend. Covering basic gear changes, positioning, cornering and counter-steering among other things. Maybe you know a nube who could benefit?

    We have other courses for more experienced rider you also may be interested in.

    Call us now on 0508 863 748 or visit our page for more info and book today - these subsidies wont last long!

    I think it will work then, I'm assuming 2x23W means 2 23W bulbs, and you only have 2 going at a time.

    I tested it last night to make sure it works on a 50W halogen and it was fine.

    Give me a yell if you want to try it, not too worried as it came off my sons GSXR250 carcass that's sitting in the shed.

    Ride tonight... Wednesday?

    Hey all,

    Is there still likely to be a group for a ride this evening or has WEDNR morphed into TUESNR AND THURSNNANARIDE?

    Weather dependent (I see the Southerly has just arrived here in the city!) I am keen for an outing
    LIFE! It's what you make it !

    Sorry, I'd just woken up when I read your original message.

    I'll PM you and we can work out a time that I can pick it up.

    Many thanks.
