I need an incentive!

[Crisis management]

The 640 is in several pieces as I "service" it (loose interpretation of that verb) and I need a reason to pull finger and spend money on tyres and bits and stuff.

So......... what I need is a ride in the next 3 or 4 weeks or so to aim for, who's in for the west coast, just a day so the usual, aim for Kawhia and usually miss but have fun on the way. :eek:

Any suggestions, volunteers, dates and promises of attendance. :bleh:



Brent, you out there????







Well, I'm waiting!

Traitor, hope a taipan bites you in the arse! :bleh:




It's just the usual paint shaker reassembly. nothing to be concerned over..... (I seem to have some parts left over tho)

[Crisis management]

C'mon you lot there's not a lot of incentive being provided....I need a ride planned!


Basic service is done and we are stripped to the basic running gear, both suspension units to be out and serviced tomorrow, service the carb and re-jet for the new pipe.

I need it back on wheels tomorrow night so I can get it to the exhaust guy to make up a short adaptor for the new muffler (bodging a SXC muffler on).

After that it's set up the lights properly, new tyres and back on the road.

:wings:

[tri boy]

Brent, you out there????







Well, I'm waiting!


I have a cunning plan a foot.
So cunning, that you could pin a tail on it,and call it a cunning thing.

It involves staying at an exclusive get away, and some imprompture beach racing on a private beach. Some gravel, a short farm crossing and beer.

Me n Kanny are moving into our new home next w/end:wings:, so it will be 2-3weeks after that.
Cunning enough for ya:shifty:

[Crisis management]

Cunning enough for ya:shifty:

I luvs you...........:love:









(In a manly, adventure rider sort of way)

[Dont Know]

Hi Iain, you can ride my spare DR while the KTM is off the road, after a wee while that would be plently of incentive to get yours back on the road.
Missed you on the MMM, you would have loved the sleeping quarters at the camp ground in Matawai, 8 of us all snug in a f..kn shipping container.

I'm keen for a ride in couple of weeks when your back on the road. Woodhill next week.

Cheers
Al

You're right.
I need to lay me hands on a YZ490...


BTW - How'd the auction go?

[tri boy]

BTW - How'd the auction go?
Bike lifts went for $380, but they were a bit short in length, so I didn't bother.
The presses were too expensive, but I picked up some shelving and a ladder:drinknsin

[Steelie]

Im keen. :yes:Just finished bolting on a screen, heated grips, aux plug. Was all for the MMM ride which never happened for me.:weep:
Will be going for test next Sunday heading for the west coast south of Port Waikato.

Thanks (I think) ...the 950 not available then?

Woodhill is on my calendar, the 200 is ready and I'm frothing at the mouth as I missed the last ride.

You should Oscar, it's been a while, FNAR wasn't it?

As long as Colin isn't organising the route.... his reputation precedes him!


oh, this one make me wanna buy a dirty bike and come and play with you all.

oh, oh, oh...

There are always vacancies for dirty girls.......


(Hope Scummy isn't watching)



An update then:
Rear suspension sorted, motor back together but my money saving purchase of a not quite the best chain and sprockets has been an epic failure as they are knackered after 5000kms, bugger!
I got distracted by the temptation of alcohol and friendly company so the last 4 hours have been less than productive, Marlborough Pinot Gris is ok tho.
Carb and front end tomorrow night (more alcohol and Super bikes tonight).

[Oscar]

You should Oscar, it's been a while, FNAR wasn't it?









Yeah, I popped a rib cartlidge there - feckin' thing still bothers me..:no:

[trustme]

Saturday or Sunday ???. Sundays are reserved for riding with wifey. Heading to Wellington for work late this month [25th]
If timing works I'll be a starter, might try & rustle up Barry.

[Crisis management]

Bikes away getting it's exhaust modified slightly fo the new muffler, chain and sprockets on order (must hide the visa statement when it turns up) and I should be back on the road on saturday minus tyres (next week).

So, when are we going on this ride Brent?

[Crim]

I should be back on the road on saturday minus tyres

Wouldn't go too far it will bugger your rims :facepalm:

[NordieBoy]

Wouldn't go too far it will bugger your rims :facepalm:

Should be able to park without the stand though.

[Oscar]

Should be able to park without the stand though.

We ran an A50 in a moped mayhem once (dressed up as a Marlboro Desert Racer), and ended up sawing off the rear tyre after a half an hour of running it flat. Man did it go around corners...

[Crisis management]

Wouldn't go too far it will bugger your rims :facepalm:

Heavy duty tubes..... what could possibly go wrong?

[NordieBoy]

Heavy duty tubes..... what could possibly go wrong?

I would hazard that they'd work perfectly until the first camera came out...

[Tony W]

Crisis ! What crisis ?

Never did I hear a complaint about the DR....:bye:

Too much Orange in your beer, Buddy :drinkup:

Your mates are telling you what you really want ! :facepalm:

Maintenance is something Suzuki owners pay their exes...:yes:...
...not slaving in the shed, living the Tangerine Dream...:violin:

Kindest Regards :)

[Crisis management]

Gee thanks Tony....... :facepalm:


The paint shaker is back in action, runs better with the new pipe and re-jetting and so far I seem to have put it all back together correctly (nothing left over or fell off). Shake down ride next week sometime, I'm off trail riding tomorrow!



Now, I do need an adventure ride organised. :scooter:

[Tug Boat]

Could be in what date there is possibly 3 keen riders from Tauranga

[That looks like fun]

As long as Colin isn't organising the route.... his reputation precedes him!





There are still bits of the liquifaction tour left untouched so just behave yourself or it could get messy ok :headbang:
