Tom hasnt even picked his one up yet, and its engine is rooted ( will be a few weeks ) and well, i dont want another $400 fine ( im at $800 and counting, i can get let off $400 when i get my exemption ) so i tink im going to wait until i get my exemption to ride mine =P The LTSA called to tell me that i was accepted with my new exemption, just gotta wait for the piece of paper in the mail!

Congratulations on getting your exemption Mark, looking forward to being
legal again I bet :yes:
PS. good luck with your exam.

should i go thru' the last 20 odd pages?
i'm guessing
- WL's had more probs with either of his bikes
- BB's got himself another Honda ('cos you meet the nicest people on a Honday)
- Wyb's trying to decide b/w an R6 or a CBR6
- DD's bought hisself a 10mm wetsuit and has re-joined the jetski community
- G's been headhunted by YouTube to further their NZ division
- Darrell's avoiding wheelies and working on stoppies now.
- the Young Ones continue to roll around in their bath of brown stuff...a la Neil

am i close?:innocent:

Not to far of the mark mate, dunno about the stoppies though, good to see you fella's are back safe and well.

That sounds unusual mate - so if there's no spark (we know that cause errr, there wasn't any) and it's not coil, leads or plug, the next step back is what provides power to the coils, ie the alternator / stator... but I wouldn't have thought that would only affect one out of four plugs, it would be all or nothing.
Next step back is the Ignitor unit, just opened that up and all I see is the back side of a circut board.
Will have another look at it tomorrow with Nodrog and Idrumm (cheers fellas) and see where we get to then.

And Tom... nevermind, too easy.

You may need to go onto your vmax site and get a wiring diagram to give these guys the best chance of nailing the problem.

And I was riding in that.

I was witness to the start of this storm Wednesday afternoon when I rode north here to Whangarei. Got just north of Natea when the rain started, all good I was well wrapped up, but as I got to the southern motorway it really started to pour down. By the time I got to about Manukau the traffic was down to 30ks, and I could hardly see a thing (lane splitting with fogged up visor, ugly). It was fat rain, then the lightening started flashing to my left. By Orewa I was soaked to the bone (full wets and four layers of clothes), by Waiwera it was dry again. My cell phone drowned in the process in my pocket (that will learn me re phone in plastic bag), and my boots were full of water. 11 years since I rode in rain that heavy.

My sister rang me and said "It's really pissing down and windy. Are you going to be OK riding home in this?" Of course I'm looking out the window thinking "WTF are you on about? It's not even raining here!"

What, 15min ride home and you get a head cold, toughen up young lady. Oh thats right, you dont drink, normally, so no immune build up to head colds. I rode for two hours after getting saturated, in the dark and cold.

It has taken me a few km to get used to the pilot power front.:gob:

The rear was fine straight from the get go but the front felt very different to the supercorsa's that I am used to.

The mind is a funny old thing. Well mine is anyway lol:innocent::sunny:

Hmm, are they more like the ones between Waihi and Whangamata or between Whangamata and Kopu?

MotoGirl

10th July 2007, 14:35

Both...all...variety personified and a road surface that encourages confidence IMHO.

Should add that the views are divine too. Quick or cruisin'...it's a good day!

Interesting... The road between Waihi and Whangamata doesn't do a lot for my confidence. :baby:

yes,
some like that

the twisties just before coromandel itself need to be sampled tbh
switchback left right 25s / 15s weeeeeeeeeee
they are magic, and as DUMPT says, the surface is super..

(if you don't like corners you'll hate it)

Seems a bit pointless to own a bike and hate corners :yes:
I guess I'd have to try and and see what I think.

Juz gotta Hurl ya'self at it sometimes Del'....the part i dont like in the Loop (and im speaking for myself here) is from Thames to Coro, well, until one turns inland that is!....:scooter: thats a sucky bit of road (two up)

It's hard to find a road where you like all of it.

I'm putting myself back into learner mode and am trying to re-learn some of the basics before I attempt anything that'll just scare me. I'm in an interesting place right now - it's so freakin' frustrating being a pansy for fear of killing myself.

I don't see the point in owning a bike I'm too scared to ride, but on the other hand, I'm not getting rid of it just because my head's fucked up :bash::weird::brick:
Oh I give up :thud:

I hear the full system added shitloads of power on the K7 thou. You don't need more power, just some NOISE! Oh yeah, and a bike back on the road :bleh:

They come with a baffle but that will last about 30mins on the bike by the time
I get home and pull it out :yes:

They sound shitloads better without them. It took me years to remove them from my VTR. Once I finally did I wondered why the hell I hadn't done it sooner :doh: I'm a bit slow on the uptake...

Well some good news is that the insurance is paying out and all the important
parts for the bike are in stock including the slip on muffler :D
some brand call Leovince, and all available overnight, so they say
I guess we'll what and see how long it will really take.

Freak'n good news Mike! Onya mate
Re Gaycob and his comments re Annette's and my views re Leo Vince cans...never listen to a redneck that smells of farm animals man. :shutup:
No we didn't like the cans on the RSVR as those particular ones didn't do the job on the twin and we also didn't like the aesthetics either.
Very good quality cans...enjoy as they have to be a million times better than the drain pipe ya had before brother! :dodge:
