1001 ways to destroyn a GN250

[FROSTY]

Ok folks Ive got me a GN250. so howsabout we come up with inventive ways to destroy it. It'll be getting used as a "slide" bike by doogal and me to suss out how to comfortably slide the front end
So come on you lot what devilish ideas have you got ???

[Drunken Monkey]

Jump it!!!!!!!

[Lazy7]

got a nitrous kit? could be fun to see how much laughing gas it can take... :scooter:

[Brett]

See how far it can ride across water...i.e. drive a some water at high speed and then see how far you get before you have to swin to the top.

[inlinefour]

I rode around a local MX track, not taking it easy. After a couple of laps, I'd stuffed the clutch, frount fork seals and blown both tyres and buckled the wheels. I really hated that bike...:sick:

[DEATH_INC.]

Bring 'er to TD3 and let everyone have a few laps.....

[Kendog]

Ahhh, don't kill the GN daddy!!! (I'm gonna cry):crybaby: . Poor baby, they're good little bikes, don't be so cruel. Hands up how many people learnt to ride on a trusty ol' GN. :rofl:
Mrs KD

[speedpro]

Jam the throttle on full, start it, take bets on how long it lasts.

Owen Galbraith( I think ) did a similar stunt with an old twin cylinder 2-stroke British thing he wanted to get rid of. Went inside for a cuppa but had to go out before finishing it to turn it off after the neighbour complained.

[erik]

I hope that's not markauckland's old bike, didn't he put a lot of work into it with the paint and engine etc?

[RMrobbo]

Try imitating ghostrider off the later crusty demons films

[crashe]

I hope that's not markauckland's old bike, didn't he put a lot of work into it with the paint and engine etc?


Yeah I hope its not markauckland's ol' GN250 either..
He had a great paint job done and engine work done on it too.

[Mr. Peanut]

Get a diving bottle or two attach to carb - SCUBA CHARGED :blah: :yes: :doobey: id pay $5 to see that even if you only used a vacumn cleaner. Alternatly you could try sprinkling various powders down the spark plug hole, sand talcum powder etc XD

[Wellyman]

Burn the crap heap. can I keep something off it as a memory though?

EDIT: I got dibbs on the gas tank

WM

[T.I.E]

well top speed is about 145 before you drop a valve. and thats dam noisey.
id like to see how many people you can get on a GN and ride it.
shall we have beats on it?
i say 8.
and all it has to do is move on its own wheels under its own power or lack of.

[T.I.E]

and can we have what ever you do to it on camera? maybe even better ride it down to the brass monkey we need a sacrifice for the bomb fire.

[Mental Trousers]

Tie it to the back of another bike and drag it.

[hXc]

As someone suggested earlier.

Like this...

[Colapop]

If you really want to destroy it, donate it to me. I can garuntee it'll be dead after 1/2 a million k's....:scooter:


Even if it is a GN there are some people who wouldn't mind one.

[skidMark]

son of a b***ch thats mah baby!:gob: :gob: :gob:

[R6_kid]

had an idea to build a 'prooving grounds' GN250 - 'cafe racer' it, put some decent rims on it, give it mental cams, hug carb, and maybe even a blower for good measure!

Could always do the no headers, no oil, on the limiter til she blows idea... seems to go down well with most petrol heads.

But to make it worthy of destruction i think it needs to completely burn out a rear tyre - til it pops.

[skidMark]

it is and it would be a major shame as somebody who wants to learn to ride could actually get good use out of it ....whatta fucking waste mate

put hours into that bike and nearly 2 grand full engine rebuild the lot....

and all you want to do is destroy it?

:angry:

oh well i guess he can do with it what he pleases

just seems such a waste after i put so many hours into that bike and also $$$ :angry:

[Ixion]

Calm down folks, I'm sure Mr Frosty is just pulling your legs. I doubt the li'l GN will come to any great harm in his hands (though it may get pushed beyonds limits seen by most of its bretheren, but that's no bad thing.)

[hXc]

...Above post...
He can do what he pleases. As now, it is his bike. Nothing to do with you.

Not trying to get at you but don't get at Frosty.

[skidMark]

makes me wanna hurl reading this it truely does...


:bye: :bye:

[skidMark]

of course he can do what he wants with it it's his bike just seems a fucking big waste to me

[Gwinch]

[markauckland] i'm gunna go i'm too hurt to talk right now
[markauckland] ill be back later

:cry:

[inlinefour]

makes me wanna hurl reading this it truely does...

Nay, I've already told Mr Winja you've got a new Suzuki and you're looking forward to giving him the learn.

Sort of a relay passing it on the more decerning Kbers around the country that will treat this wee m/cing icon with the respect it deserves. Who knows, you may be able to get sponsership from Suzuki NZ and various m/c shops.

Just a thought.

[froggyfrenchman]

A meer 8? anyone ho was at the one night stand in 05, would have seen me ride a lap of the grounds with 16 people on an 80s gsx1100.
The bar has been set.

Thats a cool idea. A relay tour of the country. Each person takes a photo of that iconic motorcycle in one famous local place then passes it on to the next, frosty approved, kber to do the next leg.

[Fatjim]

One thing it does need is a smoke generator.

a friend's mum in nelson, had one... she managed 98MPG riding normaly....same day my other mate on his RZ500 managed 16PMG and had to fill up to get back to base,,,:rofl:

[FROSTY]

hmm a KB relay hu?? Ohh Hey kinda like Goodby pork bie--every riding member gets to keep a part. By the time it hit stuart island theyll be pedalling a frame and handlebars :banana:
actually Ive been in the gargre and Im thinking Ill bling it up sprot bike
1980's stylez- a set od z bars,a cool z thou or gs400 bar fairing toss a twin pot caliper on the front --aww dang its the off season for rracing so ive got time for these things

[Kendog]

Pimp my GN :Punk:

Just need a couple of subwoofers and a thing that goes 'psssshhh' when you change gear.

Now we're talking

[R6_kid]

underseat exhaust? MotoGP Carbon Fibre Growler... flame thrower exhaust? SPINNERS! Lots of chrome, and heck give it a new paint job too! I hear cans are only $4 at supercheap auto.

[T.I.E]

PIMP IT PIMP IT PIMP IT PIMP IT.
spinners, neons, and i take it up queen st.
lowered and what about gas suspension? ok maybe not.

[Finn]

Nay, I've already told Mr Winja you've got a new Suzuki and you're looking forward to giving him the learn.

But WINJA told me Frosty rides like a girl.

[FROSTY]

OMG finn That explains why he'S spent so many years FOLLOWING me -I just thought he was gay but no He thought my skinny lil ass was a gerl

[wendigo]

...explosives would have been the most fun I think... something along the lines of "nobody had ever done it before, so we just filled it up full of them" :doobey:

Yeah. Fill it full of explosives, add one mercury tilt switch & leave it in the dodgiest area of town...

Could kill two birds with one stone so to speak.

[Hitcher]

You heartless beasts! That GN was probably lovingly hand-made by non-unionised indentured workers in Thailand or some other impoverished third-world nation.

Save the GN! Where's GreeNpeace when you really need them?

[crazyxr250rider]

Stick dirt tyres,and dirt bike handle bars on it then deliver to me!!!!

[Ixion]

I suggested that to Frosty (not the giving to you bit)!

[Sensei]

Set it up as a Track racer , & then sell tickets for laps on it . :banana:

[slimjim]

throw the fucking thing off sky tower ,, might fit in a suitcase when you are finished

[Hitcher]

If you're going to "kill" it let's do it with a bit of style and generate a bit of publicity for the biker cause as well.

Like an endurance event. On the track? But on the road would generate much more publicity.

Here's my plan. Be warned. It takes a bit of organisation.

Pick a worthwhile charity (like Canteen). Get Kiwi Biker members and others to contribute a per km amount that the bike will travel before it "dies". Seek sponsorship as well (e.g. for insurance, tyres and other "consumables". Suzuki NZ may be interested...).

Make sure the bike is registered and road legal.

Get a combination of KBers and local or national celebrities (who have Class 6 licenses) to ride it, relay style, for 10km bursts, never turning the engine off. Pick a route around the North Island aimed at taking in most towns and cities.

Local media would lap it up. National media too, depending on the choice of celebrity riders.

Even if it only survived from Auckland to Taupo, such a stunt could generate quite a bit of dosh for a worthwhile cause.

A good idea, or does it suck more than a Wayne's World Suck Kut?

[Ixion]

It's a GN250.It won't break. What are you going to do once it's gone right round the country a few times and everyone has lost interest in riding it any further?

[Hitcher]

LAMO. OK then, after every 1,000km we remove 10ml of oil...

[Insanity_rules]

Ohhh I was just gonna suggest making it into a chopper with highway pegs and seeing how far you can get with 8 foot forks!

Oh yeah, whats the difference between a GN and my ex wife? Less people have ridden a GN LOL! Oh and I'd rather be seen by my mates riding a GN.

[Merwood]

- toe it behind a sliding rwd car, smash it up
- douse it in petrol and light the sucker
- try running it on substitute fuels (coca cola, alcohol, dishwashing liquid, whatever)
- ride it into gareth_d's garage door one night

Pimping it would be waste of money :rofl::slap:.

Can think of anything else, sure would be fun though killing a gn250 :not: especially one that markauckland spent so much time on :banana:

[R6_kid]

can i race it in streetstock?

[SkOrM]

See if it will run on Vegetable oil:corn:

[Jeremy]

What will you do if it runs on Vegetable oil?

[GN1NiteStnd]

Not a GN! :no:
Why not a scooter or a Harley? ...now that would be a show:corn:

[SARGE]

let dover have it for the weekend!!!

[El Dopa]

LAMO. OK then, after every 1,000km we remove 10ml of oil...

How about keeping it continuously running until it dies. Has to get ridden, day or night, whatever the weather.

Or am I still underestimating the staying power?

[slimjim]

:argue: :ar15: :wari: still reckon throw off sky tower,, ooo ,put on the railway crossing and video phone it been hit yeah:cool: :rofl: :buggerd:

[Switch]

you could give it to me and i will learn to ride on it :cool:
surely nothing worse than letting a noob learn to ride a bike :baby:

[skidMark]

it's just had a full engine rebuild ne big end ie./ crankshaft conrod....etc.... new gasket set the whole lot

good luck killing it

:rolleyes:

[S&S]

Had a mate role his GN 250 out of the garage in the morning, start it up & left it to warm up while he went upstairs to grab his helmet & lock up the house. While locking the house he heard an explosion, the house shook, he quickly ran down to the garage, his GN had exploded. The front side of the house was on fire. Later after the fire brigade had put the house & bike out, they traced the incident to a leaking fuel tap which had dripped directly onto the engine. They found the fuel tank 10 meters away in the garden turned inside out. Just glad he wasn't sitting on the bike when it went bang.

[sprocket]

How bout a primary turbo off a twin turbo legacy , bit of giggle gas, 20psi of boost ,.....might give a thou the learn:cool:

[Toast]

Bring 'er to TD3 and let everyone have a few laps.....

Yeah, bring it to Taupo. I'd pay $5 for a ride at the lunch break. Be funny to see just how shite a bike can be. Fit a roll cage to it first though Frosty. Cheers.

[ducatilover]

i had a gn.

i hated that gn

i sold that gn

problem solved.

my idea, give me that gn and ill stick my own air induction system on it and someone can re-jet it for me. then i will rev it as hard as possible in fourth to bring back my memorys of attempted passing manouveres:crybaby:



GN250S SUCK THE RIDGID COCK OF INLINEFOUR!

[Hitcher]

GN250S SUCK THE RIDGID COCK OF INLINEFOUR!
Do you mean ridged or rigid or both?

[ducatilover]

Do you mean ridged or rigid or both?
ummm i dont know actually. id go with both.....

by the way gns use more petrol than vt250 spadas

[Mr. Peanut]

Kit yourself in full leathers and get it towed by a toyota supra (or any other 250kmh car) - Play with clutch untill something dies...

Try boosting it with a scooba tank.

[FROSTY]

Hmm well wot about giving it to a learner rider to practice on.??

[HDTboy]

How much do you want for it? I want a thrash bike that'll be forgiving when I stack it. I have a plan for a GN GP

[petesmeats]

You could park it outside my parents house... It will go for a walk within days... Like mine did... 3 times... and come back with the wiring loom hacked up and no battery or seat or springs (No doubt taken for go kart). Ah well i hated the bastard anyhoo.

Or alternately you could take the motor apart and then put it back together with the least amount of bolts possible holding it together and the rest of the bolts stuffed into the cylinder...

[SkOrM]

What will you do if it runs on Vegetable oil?

see if it would float with vegetable oil in it

[Two Smoker]

I say... Give it to Loosebruce, I have yet to see a bike that he hasnt blown up... Or ill have a go, im pretty good at crashing and ive blown up a TLR (aye speedmedic...or should i say NC now???)

But in all seriousness, take it to the track like Death said... Bring some spare levers and see who can put down the fastest time on it...

[neats]

My trashed my GN :( You could donate me the speedo, indicators, mirrors, mudgaurds, fuel tank (and if the engine is newer than 86) the engine, plus or minus a few bits and bobs. That is if you're feeling generous.

Otherwise, you could just lend me the bike for the day ... follow me with a camera and then a) you can see the bike getting written off b) provide light entainment for our fellow kb's. I gaurentee you, i'm so good, i managed to write mine off on a round about.

[El Dopa]

Wow....

I'll be making double sure the new fuel tap I'm fitting this w/e doesn't leak, then. Unlike the old one.

[skidMark]

holy shit s&s not good .....i shall make a note of that for future reference....gulp

[T.I.E]

the GN has a history. it has been to the stunt wars, so take it to taupo.
take it to some rallys. paint it yellow and put the KB sticker on it. make a great promo bike. and then all we need are models.
or build a roll cage on the bike and take that for a spin.

[skidMark]

and waste a $300 paintjob.... as said in dad's army : You stupid boy.

[Postie]

mircowave it.....

[terbang]

My Missus did a fine job of her old GN by planting it (Must have been at least 150 Kph impact) into the front of a Nissan Skyline..! Surprisingly the Nissan didn't fare all that well either.

[R6_kid]

and waste a $300 paintjob.... as said in dad's army : You stupid boy.

that was your choice, your money... tis now frosty's bike so the paint is just a colour on the tank now.

[skidMark]

lol of course it's his he can do what he wants to it

As far as im aware gn250's have a top speed of around 4-5km/hr (down a hill with the wind behind you)

[terbang]

As far as im aware gn250's have a top speed of around 4-5km/hr (down a hill with the wind behind you)
Umm how clever of you however if the Skyline was doing 75 kays and mum was also doing 75 kays and the collide head on...You do the sums..!

[Pillick]

dude, your mum is your missus? *dueling banjoes*
