How about Bash plate-less and the consequences.

AND, I have just put the KTM tank into the shop for a re-spray, it will look great and I will be parking it from now on and walking the beach to watch others...:2thumbsup

Rosie you look a little pissed that your bike has fallen down.

No mercy expected, none given.


And anyway you were showing off on a surface slipperier(sp) than an ice rink. You deserved to have this picture taken.

[junkmanjoe]

thats a classic man....

[Rosie]

Rosie you look a little pissed that your bike has fallen down.

That was one of the few times that I fell off and wasn't annoyed. Otherwise Clint wouldn't have been so brave as to ask me to pose for a photo :dodge:

[warewolf]

fooking Eddie and his fooking cameraPrimo! That's gotta be advrider front page material.

You can come with me on a ride anytime if you can get shots like that for the family album! :2thumbsup


That makes my one look terribly tame. Looking forward to the next big ride-out then Eddie, awesome shooting, talk about being there at the right time then....The money shot...:lol:

giving it a handful on that slimy snot was not one of my more intelligent moves.

I wouldn't have done it if you weren't standing there taking photos - so its your fault - you should have realized that I suffer from acute "Bart Syndrome"

[CrazyFrog]

Hey Padmei, me thinks the boys have a few of yours stashed away in the archives.... best you post them yourself before we do it for you!
Is there any prizes for the most bash plate pics from the same bike??:2thumbsup

[NordieBoy]

1) Oohh look, a camera

And the rear does a step to the left and the bike goes to the ri....hi...hi...hi...hi...ght......

Obviously crashed trying to avoid the snake that left those tracks...

[MyGSXF]

Here's my contribution.... Balrog... Orongorongo Station @ Easter :whistle:

[Grumpy]

I know I wear road tyres, not knobblies and I know I don't have a bash plate but I still look bloody hilarious from underneath. If you look closely there is a little dirt around.

Sorry guys, hope you don't mind me jumping into your thread but us road guys tend to hide shots like these in shame. Maybe I should invest in an adventure bike.:( You lot sure seem to have a blast.

[Eddieb]

Here's my contribution.... Balrog... Orongorongo Station @ Easter :whistle:

Great shot!!!

Looking at that I'm glad I wimped out taking the PD round there.

[warewolf]

Balrog... Orongorongo Station @ Easter :whistle:I think that shot typifies adventure riders. Bike has a gravity attack and the rider is all smiles. Almost like when the dog struts around proud after rolling in something that smells truly nauseating. :2thumbsup


Maybe I should invest in an adventure bike.:( You lot sure seem to have a blast.You should, that we do, see above. :lol:

now your pic is a wasting in motion, so please tell the tail behind this wipeout... :2thumbsup

[marks]

It's just a jump to the left.
And then a step to the right.
With your hands on your hips.
You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.

that looked painful - was the bike still sliding when the photo was taken?

[junkmanjoe]

Here's my contribution.... Balrog... Orongorongo Station @ Easter :whistle:

every time balrog wips out, there is always a great grin on his chops...

[JATZ]

Took a while to track this one down, but here you go.....sorry Padmei, someone had to post it.:dodge:

The only one I can think of with the DR on it's side doesn't show the bash plate

[buggsubique]

well you all saw it so here it is again courtesy of Bart and his blasted camera... yes she's heavy!

[junkmanjoe]

arnt you ment to be on top off the bike when you ride it, why are you under it..... did you arse off...:2thumbsup

[Grumpy]

now your pic is a wasting in motion, so please tell the tail behind this wipeout... :2thumbsup

Not much to tell. Cold tyres ..... too much right hand ..... bit of slip then on the phone to get the missus to come and get me. Then after the :oi-grr: I got the :girlfight:. All in all an interresting day. ;)

:lol: The only painful bit was adding up the cost. That tarseal sure rips the shit out of ya. Bike didn't slid too much from there but with all the oil it dumped on the road I was doing a fair bit of sliding around trying to pick it up. :pinch:

[buggsubique]

yeah I was wheelying it off that bank in the background and after doing an SM style stoppie on the boulders...i lost my balance :whistle:.

I ticked the boxes on the Honda parts list for pricing OEM parts, faxed thru today.
Meanwhilehave bought XR speedo & headlight on Trade Me.
Used parts from Europe are available on Ebay but think the freight on multiple packages will be expensive. Has anyone done this before, any suggestions?

[marks]

That was the defining moment of 'Bart Syndrome'

the oxford dictionary defines Bart's Syndrome as:
"An unthinking reflex reaction resulting in a throttle twisting spasm (occasionally preceded by a downshift) immediately after a camera is sighted - the spasm is generally more intense if the camera is in video mode "

it also notes: "Bart's Syndrome should not be confused with the somewhat similar "Tossers Syndrome" which is experienced universally by DR650 riders.

[marks]

Marks, Are people born with tossers syndrome or can it be caught?, and is it curable, cureable, can you get better?

Some people are born with the inclination to "Tossers Syndrome" but it often doesn't become fully blown until they buy their first DR650.

It can be cured - with a fairly high success rate - provided the sufferer buys a KLR. The results of this are certainly clear as I've never met a Tosser who rides a KLR - clearly a completely opposite result to those who ride DR650's

To be specific - DR riders have a variation of Tossers Syndrome called low level TS. Often the syndrome progresses when they sell the DR and buy a KTM - and then develop the full blown version of High Level Tossers Syndrome - a variation of HLTS often affects gay people who feel compelled to buy BMW's.

so the only way to make sure you are not a Tosser is to buy a KLR :niceone:

[junkmanjoe]

gee thanks mark,,, love u too.......NOT...

Silly. You don't take a photo with them.

You stick them in the spokes of a passing bike and then take a photo.

They're no good as suspension.




I'm down to just the essential 3 cameras now.
Canon 20D dSLR for good shots.
Olympus 10m waterproof thingy for normal shots.
Panasonic 1.5m waterproof video camera for motion shots.

Cash n Trade in Richmond have quite a few cameras though.

[junkmanjoe]

ok ladies feast your eyes on this...
dam my cramera is quick...

[Padmei]

Was it the cow pat on the road that did it? Could have just dodged it rather than laying the bike down:confused:

[junkmanjoe]

was very unusual crash,
unlike ive seen before, very interesting turn of events led to this minor mishap.....:shifty:

[Paladin]

was very unusual crash,

You complete and utter quick-on-the-draw-camera barstard! ;)

For the record: It was NOT a crash, i was staionary & i went to put my right foot down and my trousers got hooked up in the goddam spikey swivel pegs! By the time I got leg off pegs all i had time for was holding the bike for a gentle lay down!
Actually that sounds even more pathetic than if I'd crashed!

:doh:

Still it straightened the bars back up a bit! Barely out of line again now!

:laugh:

[XF650]

Is that Struan's or Marks' ????

:clap:

Only Marks would ride a DT230 without a bash plate

it sounds better if you said you crashed.....:laugh:

must be the rider...:2guns:

You could have almost fooled us by saying you were ripping up and down that fence line behind you.

[Paladin]

Get rid of the pegs mate. They're cursed...

Oi you, shut it! You can't have them! :bleh:
I kinda like em now!
(except when they snag my trousers! ;) )

[Paladin]

Only Marks would ride a DT230 without a bash plate

a good point, and one I brought up with him yesterday at Odlins Rd - he's bloody mad ridin in there with no bashplate!

:confused:

[Paladin]

it sounds better if you said you crashed.....:laugh:


the other guy on the black dr had no trouble today....

Unfortunately, I think you may be correct on both counts there bro!

:crybaby:

Still at least I've completed Odlins without arsing off - something you haven't achieved yet!

I don't believe your right foot was still on the peg matey!! And the bike is only APPEARING upright when in actual fact it was on the ground, just that the ground had a big slope to it right there!

Nice try bro!!

Yeah Hitcher gave me one for that too a wee while back!
He set me up - the image I quoted was one he had posted on our forum, cheeky git!
But I see why they do it, so's their servers can stay as uncluttered as poss.

But you are a bad ass - especially in those combat camouflage ridin pants!

Haha, I got my first KB infraction today for quoting this post. The image was too big apparently, and I'm told quoting an embedded image is a no-no.

I'm such a bad-ass.

Shit, KB is soft....:eek:.....
Now, compared to ADV of course eh Eddie...:2guns:

Three e-mails, no reply, Nada!:no:

Eddie, and a few others sent mail on my behalf, but nothing eventuated. I have asked nicely in my emails to sort things out but again, they haven't even given me the decency to reply and explain anything...as to why.
Oh well, I can still browse...

Thanks for asking...

I got the same infraction. - its all your fault - you bastard - if you hadn't taken the photo I wouldn't have posted it.

silly thing is - a quoted image will have already been downloaded and cached in the users browser thereby not disadvantaging our banjo playing dial up using brethren.

Sounds bloody rediculous to me; sorry they haven't sorted it mate!

:confused:

[warewolf]

I'm told quoting an embedded image is a no-no.I know what the rules say, but it should only be an infraction if you quote an entire lengthy post, rather than just one bit for context - whether it is an image is irrelevant. Quoting just one image shouldn't be an infraction, whereas quoting all the text should be.

[Padmei]

I got one too. I'm quite proud -I never thought I'd be that brooding bad ass biker like in the movies.

...there's no shame in this pic, I just wanted to share my weekend's project. Wee now has a bashplate - though I prefer to think of it as protection.

Later we went on a ride north to Ngakawau on a perfect Buller day, winter isn't so bad!

[XF650]

That looks the bizz Pete. B&B's seem well made (I'v got one on the DT230).
Looks like it offers some protection to the oil cooler too?

[JATZ]

:2thumbsup:

Looking good there snodpete
Got some knoblies yet ?

[junkmanjoe]

nice job, very shiney too...

[snodpete]

Yep, it sure is shiny! Covers the oil cooler, filter and bottom of engine. Only aspect I'm a little nervous of is the front attachment: basically a bracket off the exhaust manifold and oil cooler mount. That's why the idea of an actual 'bash' on this plate fills me with dread...:crazy:
Knobblies will come when the TW's wear out!

[junkmanjoe]

where the mount bolt holes are.
would it be possable to make a loop bracket, and go up and over the black bar that runs along front of engine.

Yeah - I think that might be the way to go - needs someone with more skills than me to sort that out though.

[junkmanjoe]

ive looked at your pic and is one mount fixed to frame on the left hand side of the bike. if you where sitting on it.

whats the other mount fitted to.

or i would look in to makeing a plate same width of new bash plate.
but only getting it miged to the right hand side of the join in the black bar.
and then mounting the top fittings on bash plate to the new piece.
ive drawn my idea in white.

[snodpete]

The 'plate mounts to the centre stand attachments via a custom bracket at the back - nice and solid, can be used with or without centre stand and is independent of the engine. I like your suggestion for the front mount mod, might look into that when I find a bike-friendly engineer type.

Cheers for the ideas!

[junkmanjoe]

just fixed my pic up.
any alloy chap, like a boat repair guy or even a pannel beater shop could help out.

my plate and paladins both made at my mates boat alloy shop.

Have you got a stutter. :shutup:

Nice one Mark. Did you go down a bank of something. In the Munga's I guess. It'd be bloody greasy in there. :Punk:

The WR had lots of rests today.....

In the forest part of the Munga's

I was part way up a very greasy hill and stalled - what doesn't keep going up soon comes down down down....

twas the greasiest I've ever seen - Glen had 6 or so offs (I was waiting for him to come back and help me as the bike was jammed but he was stuck further up the hill) and I had 3-5.

And Glen had a flat....


me thinks he tried to get over that huge log laying by the bike.

I did go over the log - I just wasnt attached to the bike at that stage...


What "huge" Log? :confused: Oh you mean the twig?

Actually half of the logs in the forest are so rotten that you go to ride over them and there isn't even a bump. Glen rode my WR into a large tree stump and the stump just distinergrated on impact - looked really cool.
