[Sis]

Yeah its a boy , and there is a pit bike in the shed for him to play with, after I fix it and test .lol

Laughing here as I have an image of the story of the Berenstein Bears "Bike Story" where Poppa Bear teaches his son how to ride when in actual fact it is how not to ride. Son keeps asking for his turn now, but Poppa keeps saying just one more lesson to learn as he rides the bike and ends up crashing. Of course you wont be doing any of that. Crashing, that is.

[Tigadee]

Wow, spring is here alright and the stork's delivering soon to SASS! LOL

Hope all goes well, xXGIBBOXx !

[Theantidote]

hei whose going to the pink ribbon ride??? it's on sunday and the weather is looking good....

[Theantidote]

Im trail riding, then Bathursting.....

hei mr spokes enjoy your day...i've only done bathurst on the xbox...it really is an awesome track with some freakin wild corners...would make a great aSASSins route:sweatdrop

[Tigadee]

Tomorrow looks wet so far... But if not, any aSASSins coming for a ride?

[Sis]

[xXGIBBOXx]

Have a fun ride if you go . Still waiting for little man to come and Po isn't happy just the run to work and back .lol but i have a few things i want to paint so that may keep him happy . And is it me or are there a bucket load of bikes on the roads now its getting close to summer

[Theantidote]

i'm hoping to b there but no promises...may have to spend some qual time with my beautiful wife and choice as boy...
pink ribbon ride was awesome so that kinda satisfies my ride needs for a bit...
po will love some fresh paint and the attention you can spare before you become a real dad...
i found some new bars so am waiting for those to arrive and then i'll probably spend more hours than necessary trying to swap them out...i found some manx z bars...not high but should pull back toward me a bit and will definitely be different...so come 30th nov we'll b set for thunder beach and a nites camping over in whitianga...

if u do ride please take care....the wind sucks when u come out of a shelter belt...and the cagers go a bit loopy in the wind (actually the cagers just seem to b loopy regardless). So ride safe and stay upright...
one last thing...with day light savings how bout a bbq??? aSASSin's Satay perhaps...:headbang:

[nzspokes]

Sorry wont be there again.

[Maakz]

Hey peops, won't be there tomorrow night either-works amping up the closer we march to Dec so not getting out much these days. Winds a pain in the proverbial these days, on the truly dodgy days I even opted to train it, now that's a sorry state of affairs but needs must. Anyhow, hope alls well, congratz on the impending wee mans arrival G-mmm I like the sound of BBQ Theantidote..now that's a plan hey...?

[Tigadee]

Got an unexpected but delightful dinner invitation for Tuesday night, so will not be there. Hope to catch up next week, aye?

[Tigadee]

with day light savings how bout a BBQ??? aSASSin's Satay perhaps...

Magic words!! :eek:

I make a mean spare ribs (or chicken if not kosher), but it needs sitting in the BBQ low-n-slow for an hour or two...

bbq...i'm thinking weekend thing...probably a saturday, maybe the theme is Secret aSASSin's Sate(satay) Hook Up and Ride...i built a bit of a barbeque thing on my last return from indonesia so we can have the authentic street style food from my wife's home town...even got the recipe for the Sate Sauce from the same guy that pushes the cart over there, sooooooooooooo you can be sure of a real taste of indonesia in our own backyard (less the rats and roaches, unless you're really keen then i'll see what i can arrange).
Byo booze if you choose, although for us we have chosen a largely alcohol free lifestyle. Sorry we don't cook nor can we cook pork (a religious thing sorry). A part from that you're all welcome.
I'll sort out a day and confer back with some options...let me know who is interested...cheers:woohoo:

Hey peoples...yeap bumped into Tig and a famous blonde Honda rider with witchy artwork out at Bakerfield. Today i ended the 2013 White Ribbon Ride with some of the Ladies and Gents who ride and support every year. The community put on a breakfast for us at the Sallies and seeing as um a local, well, lets just say there was no way i was going into work ahead of finishing off a good cause. Maha, you saw us heading down to Manukaus event...sun was indeed fierce, but needs must, was beautiful riding weather and good company an all that jaz. Aw hey Lisas Dad was amongst us too.

I'm totally there on the 14th guys, count me in.

Whats up with ya brake? They are a very simple unit if you need help with it. I also have a fix for that headlight issue.

Allo Allo All! :)

My thanks also for the yummy feed at urs Theantidote...mmmmm satay and home made cheesecake :drool:...mmmm so good. Your kinfolk were lovely and your boy the perfect host with the most. Gibbox, Lil Doms a cutie and his Mamaz a gem, was really good to meet both. As always Sis & Tig-great to hang and munch out.

Tomorrow I hope to be there, depends on whether or not the rent a cop :tugger::tugger::tugger:harassing me tows or blocks me in tomorrow :bs:, anyhow, if i'm not there by the time yous need to roll then i'll see yous at the watering hole.:drinknsin

Thank you for the bbq sooo much good food . Tig bring ya bike round to my place and we can sort your rear brake if you want ?


Whats up with ya brake? They are a very simple unit if you need help with it.

Thanks, mates! One of the calipers has seized and the pads are worn down, so George is putting new ones in on Friday.

I got by on front brakes only on Saturday to the BBQ, but not something I want to do for a nice brisk ride.

The new chain/sprockets has made a world of difference in the Hornet's behaviour. No more (or a lot less) stuttering at the low revs and snatchy engagement of the clutch. The old chain had been stretched to its limits and beyond!

Have to say though that the new chain looks pretty rough (not gold, more like aluminum) and the sprockets look very ordinary. All for $270 from Moto One - I think I may have paid too much for it (should have gotten through George, who would've gotten me a DID chain and better sprockets, according to him). But oh well, at least it's working well... just don't know how long it'll last. :rolleyes:


I also have a fix for that headlight issue.

Thanks. My horn isn't working now either... :facepalm:


As always Sis & Tig-great to hang and munch out.

Best way to hang, baby! :2thumbsup (Munchin' out, that is...)

George has a habit of telling people they have bought shit product if you don't get it through him. You realise the gold is just a colouring? All chains are made from the same stuff and only in a couple of factorys. They just get different labels stuck on the boxes.

I personally wont use George, his pricing he makes up on the go.

[xXGIBBOXx]

I won't be out to play to night . Mum wants to do some Xmas shopping with little man

[Tigadee]

Hi gang, sorry I didn't make it. Had some family time and played tour guide for my mom who's visiting...

He's quoted me $30 for new brake pads and $80 for a replacement caliper. How's that sound?

He's quoted me $30 for new brake pads and $80 for a replacement caliper. How's that sound?

I would be just rebuilding your caliper myself. Most brake calipers I have worked on just need a good internal clean if they are sticking. But that would be uncommon on Hornets. I cleaned mine out when i fitted the braided lines and at 70000ks they were like new inside.

[Tigadee]

My bad... Just talked to George - it's about $80 for re-building/cleaning [not replacing] the caliper and $30 for the brake pads.

[Tigadee]

Well, better late than never... Here are some pics from last Saturday's SASS year-end BBQ.

I could be up for a ride on the weekend. Got my kids until tomorrow and going trail riding on Friday.

i've got a bbq on saturday...but would b keen for a hoon on sunday...if that works for anyone...was thinking of doing the kaiaua loop just for a nice gentle crooze...there's some good twistees for those inclined and some great water side views for us really old buggers too enjoy....

doohhh...if anyone was keen we could rally here at mine for coffee first and then head through the back roads of hooonua and down into kaiaua...and in the spirit of keeping it relaxed i'm opening for mid morning coffees and i have some primo froot cake available to keep our energy levels just right...p.s it's not special/green froot cake just really good froot cake...

[Maakz]

Yeah um keen for a wee pootle and sum coffee and fruit cake whilst inspecting the made over Viagra! Sunday works for me, we could do chippies in Kaiaua if anyone got the munchies or we could keep riding. Anyhow, leme know what the happs is. I figured tonight being NY eve peops would be doing their celebratory thing, so no SASS...can't wait til it kicks back up. Yeah um working non stat days too! Gah, break was all too short. Have a GREAT New Years!
