Leathers for Saturday @ Mt Welly

[Moooools]

Hi

I need a set of leathers for a 5'9" rider (my brother) who is coming out to try out buckets at the practice day this Saturday.
Does anyone that is coming have a spare set or a set that I could pick up prior and drop back to you afterwards?

Also what time do I turn up and what is the structure of the day roughly?

Cheers
Max

I have my old set here, that may fit him, I am about 1.70m and on the larger side:whistle:, warning they are held together with a little bit of duct tape.

You would need to swing round and pick them up as I wont be at the track this weekend.

And why on earth not :)

If you are not at the track you could loan your space ranger ones!
Leader Leathers can do repairs to leathers in Wellington but that is only a couier ticket away from anywhere.

that's LEDA btw.

There is (was?) a place in K Road that repairs leathers. In the middle of the shopping area of K Road where the ped crossing is, north side, there is an Arcade, down the first flight of steps right hand side is a little shop, repairs anything leather, she does a good job too.

Kerri at MSW http://www.msw.co.nz/index2.html

She has done a lot of work on my leathers, took them somewhere else once because they were cheaper. I will now only take them to Kerri.

St Kevins Arcade, walk in off K Rd, go straight ahead, go down one flight of stairs, turn right. You will be looking towards a large old bank vault sort of door, that's MSW. As stated, Kerry is very good and I think for the job she does she's very reasonable.

fixed my first set of leathers as well

We actually discussed this yesterday and turns out she is/was happy for me to race if that is what I want to do (sounds like a trap to me). However given that we have spent the last 24 hours back up at the hospital, feeding bubs every hour, I am not sure that the leave pass is available for redemption.

Besides I might have to consider changing the oil in the bike if I do.

This is true ,I am hoping that the sidecar bucket guys will be there as I am supposed to be taking 1 out for a wee ride to see if that is what I wanna do :banana:

[Moooools]

Not going to be able to make it. A am short a clip on. Thanks for kind offer(s) however. See you all next year.

[Henk]

What sort of clip on? I have selection of FXR clip ons if that's what you need.

[Moooools]

I need 50mm for my ZXR forks.

[Henk]

In that case can't help I'm afraid

[Pumba]

I need 50mm for my ZXR forks.

ZXR USD's? I dont have a set, but I do have a set off a RGV USD clip on's that may fit. I will need to go measure.

[Pumba]

Just googled the interweb and the forums recon that the RGV is 50mm so they should fit if you want them.

[Moooools]

This information is interesting to me.
Let me just check some things pertaining to travel times with family and I will get back to you.

[Arronduke]

I also will not be able to make it (taking kids camping but Graham and the NSR145...(Green machine 86).. will be there I hope. This is the GL145 which lived in my garage for a few months as I made it go faster, dam good fun spending other peoples money. I just hope it hangs togeather...!

I will be interested to find out how it goes... pulled like a 13yr old until it ran out of revs on the road... now no one is allowed to mess with the paint!!!
