Hey y'all, I'll be back this month for a couple weeks so will swing by on the 23rd or the 1st of March.

Might see if I can convince a friend to let me borrow his bike for it but otherwise I'll just show up to the start and then the pub.

I'm hiring a bike on the 26th and 27th for a bit of a weekend bash. Looking forward to the sunny temps and grippy roads!

[Sis]

No ride on tonight. Due to the wet weather after so much dry, it is going to be very slippery out there. Take care

[nzspokes]

Will do my best to get there this week

[nzspokes]

Looks like I will be bringing a couple of new riders with me.

Good ride tonight people ! Me and Leti ( my bike ) are talking to each other again . Last time i went out it felt off , Maybe we just need to go out and smell the county air a bit more 😊

[kiwi-on-wheels]

still not quite right after a wee tumble i took last week, but getting there.

oil spot, dropped by a truck running a red just before i went through the light. missed it with the front wheel, nailed it with the rear and bike skittered out from under me. landed awkwardly, massive sprain in my wrist. been out of action for the last few days, aiming to be back on the bike this weekend

Thanks for updating our start point etc.

I have tried to get on to update at the beginning but I am now cut out of it.

I doubt that I am going to be there tonight. I am still at work, trying to get paperwork processed for our Year End.

I might see you all the Broncos. Hopefully I will be finished by then

[Sis]

There will be no SASS on tonight.

There is a major storm going to pass over and I don't want any of you out there unnecessarily.

Keep safe

[Maakz]

Keep safe people. I quit work very early this arvo having been aware of the looming storm.
Ensconced at mine but its ugly and grim out there. Several big crashes enroute...one right on the corner of Spartan involving 4 cars and ambos.
Seems people are so focussed on getting to their next destinations they're forgetting common courtesy and doing dumb things. Nasty out there.

[Sis]

Totally agree Maakz

No SASS tonight.

Keep safe and warm

[xXGIBBOXx]

Was looking forward to tonight but looking at the rain radar I am not sure that the rain is going to stay away

So sorry but I am making the call to call it off for the tonight.
I think the rain will arrive about the time we would start

What time do you stop at Broncos these days?

Well that was a different night.
We went to the carpark at Mitre 10 in Takanini but we didn't do bike exercises.
No instead, we were trying to figure out how to 'connect' everyone's headsets, well 3 headsets.
Then it was a great ride through Ardmore Quarry Road, practising smooth by using engine power rather than brakes.
Before getting back to Broncos and more trying to get the headsets to find each other.:brick:

Gone are the days when it was just you and the bike and the only thing going through your head were your own thoughts.:shutup:

Now must go and charge up my headset....:innocent:

What type of headsets do you guys use? I am thinking of getting one of these (http://www.cycletreads.co.nz/products/1704-interphone_intercoms/12676-interphone_f5mc_rider_to_rider.aspx) bluetooth intercoms and would be good to get the one most others are using.

We didn't do any carpark work tonight. Christmas shoppers are filling the area and it isn't safe for us.

Interesting read. I do not appear to have any cracks anywhere (Hopefully). I do not have a temp gauge as it is oil cooled so can not check the temp. Hopefully that is not the issue. It happens while I had just got off the mway also, which i had a clean run on. Just strange only in 1st and 2nd. Was thinking maybe throttle sticking but that still would affect more gears (although have not really tried to accerlate quickly in 3rd while it is happening). I have had no stalling issues except for my own doing either.

After reading a few forums seems heating is a major issue for the hyosung (with a lot of other issues I will pretend do not exist)

[nzspokes]

Common for hyosungs to crack the rubber inlet manifolds.

Still no sign of a storm so I guess we will be out and about on our bikes.

One thing that I was reminded of on a recent ride is to look out for the below. Pushing the bike down means the bike is leaning more than is needed. It can lead to a loss of traction.

I'm guilty of doing that occasionally. I assume that what I normally do is better. Lean out towards the apex shoulder lowered and looking at the vanishing point? I don't usually bother with half a butt cheek off the seat.

Great start to notice you do that. For the road at normal road speeds, I dont see the point in a full hang off. I find dropping the inside elbow useful. But for most road stuff, having your spine in line with the bike works.

I'll try the inside elbow next time I'm going out in the country. It'll be interesting to see what effect it has.

There will be no SASS tonight, just in case you thought that we might do some training in the rain. I think there is a chance of the rain becoming a bit excessive.;)

You will find that adventure riders do differ, and due to riding off/road / gravel, will push the bike down while staying on the high side (even on the road). I know I tend to do that, also makes a big difference in slow speed work, bike is too big to lean with it, need to get it on it's side beneath you :)

At any sort of speed offroad or on gravel I would agree. I do it in the dirt. And also started doing it for low speed on the 1250. But only walking pace stuff.

don't know if its the same, the Photo spokes has is either a bad habit, or inexperienced rider,
usually on a banked corner Some, (not All) ADV riders will pop out a leg, MX style, if the bikes that low, push out the rear wheel and steer with the throttle, thats not usually how we ride on the road,
although we do mix between counter lean and counter steer, we (ADV riders) are usually on bikes that are set up for riding over obstacles as high off the level ground as our axles,so were higher up in seat position, unlike a street bike, chopper or rolling couch,we have weight in different places on the bike, and usually don't have street tyres, so we mix it up between counter lean and counter balance.
the tough bit is picking the right method to use at the appropriate time, and to not just ride one style.... or at a speed that requires 1000% attention, skill and ability 100% of the ride....

Leaning, pushing the bike down in my opinion on the road at any real speed is a bad habit. ADV bikes its even worse as the tyres dont have the ability to handle big lean angles. So if a turn comes up that is badly planned for and more lean angle is needed you could run out of angle to do it with. Habits are what can bring us down or keep us upright.

I feel fully qualified to talk about ADV bikes as i road one today. :laugh:

Hi
I am based in Manurewa but work at Turners in Mt Wellington. So once your bike gets up here it may be easy for us to catch up some time.

Sounds like the bike overtaking the truck killed an innocent rider, but also the oncoming bike didn't leave (may not have left any) room for the 'what if'...

And after last week, I have put my liners in as it is cold (or I am a big sook :gob: )

Great catching up with some familiar faces

I'm there tonight, if I'm late will meet at the carpark. It's raining here at the moment but dry in Manukau. Looks like it's going south

A lovely ride tonight thanks
Had our hot chocolates at the Autobahn at Bombay for a change.

Some of us have an issue with headlights but other wise all good.

[Sis]

I had an issue with my exhaust (again).
Didn't realize till next day.
Just holding on by one bracket instead of 2.
All sorted now

[M.H]

Is this on tonight?

[Sis]

Is this on tonight?

Sorry I didn't see this to reply. Yes it was.
If it is cancelled, normally due to weather, I put a notice in.
Otherwise always on.
Every Tuesday

Hi. I am new to this forum and was just wondering where meeting place is and what kind of riding is done. My wife and I would like to get some extra riding done where we can. Mainly just weekend riders at this stage. Thanks :2thumbsup

Hi keezz,
We meet at the z service station in Takanini (across from bunnings) on a Tuesday night, muster about 6:45, the around 7 head down to the carpark behind Carl's Jr., and do some basic skills, then it's a short hour ride after that, back towards manukau.

I'm keen to join and soak up what I can. I'm also one of the few people left in the digital world that isn't on Facebook - mind if I just show up one of these upcoming Tuesdays?

The more the merrier
It's not super formal, we have some base rules, after the ride mostly talk about our bikes, close calls, and any upcoming events. Good night on the bike

I should be there next week, as I have recovered from the man flu

[nzspokes]

I am looking good for making it tonight.

...didn't see anyone there - went to the Carl Jr's car park and didn't see anyone there. Was I in the right spot?
