nice wheelie... lake karapiro... i have rowed under that bridge so many times. The first time we got to it and rowed back up to epworth we thought the world was going to end. By the end of my forth season it was 'oh look we're at the bridge now, nearly home'

That's a very lame photoshop work, zoom in properly and you'll see it dirty obvious.

Price of a barrel dropped to USD 70 so it should go down about 9 or 10 cents pretty soon. :)

You should submit that to TUI's marketing people mate. You could win 12 months worth of Tui.

I know why you're buying all that petrol Crazy Steve. Even at 2 bucks a litre, it's cheap entertainment.

Ive heard from within the industry that taxi drivers are running 96 octane in their falcons/commodore etc because they run more economical in the long run.

But back to the question - My bike pings on 91 so I use 96 but have been recommended to use 98 if poss. Depends on what type of bike you have - high performace, street or tourer etc......... Be aware of using Gull's '91' because its actually only 89 octane and their '96' is 95. (Even tho petrol only has a shelf-life of approx 1-3 months til it starts to drop in octane, hence stale fuel)......

Hmmm, makes you wonder how often they sell you shoddy fuel?:oi-grr:

Taxi drivers are full of shit. The efficiency of an engine depends on the compression ratio. A higher octane fuel allows you to run a higher compression ratio. Running a higher octane fuel without engine mods will not give you higher efficiency.

I've got a degree in this shit.

Take that rd up the hill and follow it to Arapuni...its about 20kms....Of sweet sweet road dude...

My G-Friend and I rode it on Sunday...She rode her Dr250....the whole way we only say 2cars untill we reach Arapuni...then the road connects with Te Awamutu and Putauru highway and lots more traffic then...The Arapuni Dam is close at the moment..(they working on it)..so you cant ride over it at the moment...And the swing Bridge is open only on one side....the township side..:yes:

Did you know that swing bridge was opened in 1929...(something like that)

Real high and kewl Bro...limited to 30people per time...But still a huge huge swing bridge!!!!!!!
