Laxed out rides

[ckai]

Funny thing is that apparently you can modify the Bonnie to become Thruxton, Most parts are interchangable.

I originally wanted black colour but there were aparently none in the country, so I would have to wait 3-4 weeks and pay bit more $$. This Gold one has grown on me and was a shop demo with only 300 kms on the clock. Got a sweet deal, free 12mnths reg, free servicing and a leather Triumph Jacket.

Which all up would have been around $1500 or so. So was pretty happy

That would be right. They're the same chassis and tank aren't they? Hell, ya just need some clip ons, different seat and rear guard and you're pretty much there. Unless you wanna make an Ace Cafe Special

Good deal. You had to have a classis jacket if you're riding a classic trumpy...it's the rules

That is a one sexy cafe racer. Already ordered the M bars and Napoleon bar end mirrors for mine. Next is to get rid of those stock pipes and put some nice sounding ones. I am thinking Thunderbike pipes. Heard lots of good things about them. And yes, the jacket is period correct for the Bonnie.

Got the flying helmit, goggles and great coat like in your avatar

Up for the ride Sunday?

Thinking about it although 9:30 meeting time is actually going to be 8:30 as daylight saving starts Sat night

HAHA, Got the Pee Pot, yes, a scarf and some sharkys. Was thinking about the flying goggles just for a lough. Could be keen for a ride, weather permitting...

The thunderbike pipes are really pricey aren't they? Bar end mirrors are a must on any nekked bike.

Doesn't Slofox have some goggles? Every time I think of goggles on a classic bike I always think of this...

$1250 for Thunderbike ones, which is the same as the std aftermarket triumph ones. Still need the new remap. Arrows are $2500 for a full set. But from what I have seen and heard, Thunderbike ones sound the nicest

Map is up for discussion as you lot know the area better than I do.

An alternative if you like, still got gravel but scattered over @ 10km you meet SH43 at Tahora @ 3km from Moki tunnel then onto Whangamomona pub

Up over a grand - will keep going up, hopefully

I am the ride leader for the Ulysses ride on 30 September. We are meeting at Te Awamutu Caltex to leave at 9.30 am to head for Te Kuiti or morning tea at Tiffany's.
We are hopeing that some of the King Country crew might join us and show us around their back roads. If not we will make a decision where to go which may even include Ohura and Taumarunui or Kopaki Road and then to Aria. I am hoping that Shafty might turn up. He lives at Matiere these days.

Reminder for ride on Sunday - enjoy and ride safe those going on it and remember day light saving Saturday night

Sunday 30
Fine, cloud increasing at night. Westerlies developing.
