JMJ

[dino3310]

good 2 catch up Bro and great to finally lay eyes on the big boys toy

[offrd]

Joe, That long black piece of road up here, its only a motorway sometimes!

Its also used as a carpark, so it depends at what point of shift between motorway and carpark you get to it at, as to the speed.

Often it is in a state of "walkway" This is because no one can decide if they want to motor or park.

My 950 must have a special electronic chip, it has the ability to make carpark or walkway back into motorway just for its self! the chip does need some tuning, i find the cars going between carpark lanes are sometimes not repelled by this chip, i am working on tuning it with my left thumb and a button with airhorns connected to it and with finger and arm gestures. I will tune the chip eventually!

[Taz]

Let us know when you are up here again. We'll have to meet up for a brew if at all possible Joe.

[junkmanjoe]

Hey Joe, My previous pair of shoes were very similar to those. Unfortunately they didn't quite have the support to stop 200 plus kg's of Austrian sledgehammer from doing serious damage to my lower tibia and fibula. Allthough not as comfortable I now have a nice expensive pair of Tech 10 Alpinestars with the latest in ankle protection technology which I hope never to need!!

[junkmanjoe]

Oh dont say that.. i was really pleased till now, will i guess ill have to try and stop crashing...

crash count is at 3

1 loss balance at gas station..........fuk what a dumb arse i was...
2 capital coast, lake of momentum in the wrong place,,,,and i had to fall off in front of a orange 9fiddy.....DOH
3 to much power at wrong time on slippy clay, fishers track.....bugger..

so im getting some training boxes made, to help hold up the bike..

hows your bike coming along..

JMJ

[Night Falcon]

Sorry...wasn't tryin to give ya the "buyers blues"!

My crash count makes yours look pretty good so no need to worry.....you haven't even run wide on corner landing in a ditch whislt back flipping over the bars and landing upside down on grassy null some 3-4 meters from your still upright motorcycle...lucky only prided was injured in that one...which took some time to heal!!

690 looking sweet....almost done but waiting on new speedo to arrive (KTM are recalerberationg to match mileage on the old one....except they are about 2k out now due to thier slowness and my eagerness to get out and about).

recent pics below ....hope there the right size....don't want to get anyone in trouble!!

after remembering passed events on this track, people down the banks and bike of the side of the track....i was a tad concerned..
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_r4RTcX8Awjo/TN9CRMIvb2I/AAAAAAAAImE/1faPyt2TZGQ/s912/IMG_0292.JPG

Followed this to work this morning T Rex truck ... well cool machine! ... thought Joe musta taken a wrong turn from up norf.

6x6 Artic Haulers are cool. I used to drive a Volvo A20 & A25 for the old man.
When you've got all 4 diff locks in & 6x 65" tyres all spinning & you're still not moving, you know you're stuck good :facepalm:

One with a camper body & a couple of bikes on the back would be cool, 50km/h everywhere might get old quick though...

Cheers

[junkmanjoe]

im back.............woo hoo...good to back behind the wheel again........

left home weds morn by 3am, arrived papakura 11.30am at depot..
unloaded wood shreader for our john deer tractor,,

reloaded truck with pipes, and loaded ute on trailer. parked up at motel by 2pm..
day finished..

had my 10 hr rest between drive days

started truck 12am thursday morn,,arrived at homebush depot masterton 8am..
its a 7.5hr trip as i have to stop for 30mins every 5.5hrs driving because thats the law... .

a couple shit photos for ya all..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monsterman, the D7R you have there it be wired for GPS pods..

we had a couple chaps leave, as they nanas and couldnt handel...:bye:
so i got there machines now.. take a couple pickys tomorrow of my new offices..

i waved out dino mate................

JMJ

[red mermaid]

You comply with the rest breaks Joe?!

And those placards on the dump truck are the wrong way up.

[junkmanjoe]

yea its just not worth the risk to get caught. One trip got pulled up in taupo on a run north,, mod squad, he went through my book page by page....trying to get me on sum slip up...........sorry pal..
the books are different now days 2 columns instead of three.....you have to write start place and time + hubo , every stop, place and time + hubo even if its for a flat tire.. and finish place time + hubo...
its up to a instant $500 fine for not showing a log book,or entering false details.

on the old book was one 30min stop after 5.5hrs drive per 11hrs driving.

now you can have two 30min stops per 5.5hrs driving and you end up with 2 hrs left after last break..= 13hrs drive / load /work time.
but im sure you knew that aye mate

takes far to long to sit you class 4/5 heavy think its up to 2yrs+

i sat my 4/5 in a artic in one afternoon,,, few years ago now..

JMJ

[red mermaid]

Its $500 for not producing your logbook, and the real killer is you get demerits points as well, 35, I think.

Strange truck in area, like yours would attract attention, and I know what you're saying about Taupo.

We are much friendlier down here :innocent: you can even get coffee at Ohakea.

[junkmanjoe]

you where closed this morn.....

thought you may have used flags instead of solid boards.

I think the piece of rubber underneath it that touches the road would hurt more ... suggest keep away regardless of the flag type.

BTW not the truck from our site I just happened to follow it today and seeing we are on BIG machines I thought i would post it.

Seriously though he would have LOVED it. (should have seen him at Feilding field days. I think we went on every piece of farm machinery there!)
Are you having any other open days?

Um, best of both worlds really, get to have a play from time to time. 200 ton diggers and D11's, operating them full time doesnt appeal!

Mad bastid ... 11 kph you were lucky the feds didn't catch you!!! :laugh:

Mate of mine hired one of those wee Birequip tractors, saw him going down the road when on the mountain bike, I rode past waving my fist yellin slow down with a big grin (he was doing about 15 kph) and the people at a house stood there in disbelief like I was serious :weird::killingme:... couldn't believe it ... can't help some people.

[GSers]

Hey Joe, does that mean the motocross track has gone now? Say getta to Dave for me. GSers

[junkmanjoe]

hey Monstaman.
hows the south now days..
if you spend most of the traveling around at an average of 10kph, any thing over its a bit to fast for the bumps, and tend to bang ya head on the roof....no fancy shocks on these machines...

GSer ummm yup sorry we have cut right through the middle of it....

JMJ
