A beautiful day to ride South to greet fellow riders from around Southland & Otago. I estimate 80-100 bikes turned out for comraderie, pork spit sammies, and the occasional beer.:woohoo: A nice badge was minted for the occasion too. The Publican gave prizes for best bikes etc and then proceeded to wander around the bikes handing out beanies to anyone in his way. Good on ya mate!
Forgot my camera BUT the best bike was a 1975 Suzuki RES, a water cooled rotary owned by a female invercargil rider & Bladerider97. :first:(Take note Jantar!)
KB'ers on site were Tjwatt, Silvergrin (& Michelle), Xaria, Nighthawk, Scummy & Chrissiebimbo, & Phaedrus that I remember. Others??? !!!

Ah, it's an RE5 Chris - and owned by a lady from Balclutha - and Jantar knows the bike well!!

But great to catch up with you and the other KBers - especially Phaedrus who was on his first big ride since his 'oops' almost a year ago.

and it has more original parts than me

[Ruralman]

Well we went down to Balclutha this morning to have a look at the new Farmers Market - I gave a great big wave to the bikes leaving Scummy's place just as we went past - AND NOT ONE of you waved back ( maybe it had something to do with the big diesel burning beast with trainer wheels I was driving??)

Sounds like you had a good day - it was a great afternoon for dirt biking as well and at least we managed some of that

Great to see Phaedrus getting out and about

[hayd3n]

any one have plans for the long weekend???????????
maybe a ride or 2

[Jantar]

Ah, it's an RE5 Chris - and owned by a lady from Balclutha - and Jantar knows the bike well!!....

I sure do. Its the very first RE5 I ever owned. I have worked on that bike many times over the years, and know its complete history. Mechanically, its probably the best RE5 in the country. Although it is a 1975M model, it has the 1976 rotor housing and seals.

You must have done a good job, cause she is running great. I think I may also have solved the plug fouling problem. Thanks Jantar & Lew for keeping her in great nick over the years.

whats needed in the way of entering?

[GaZBur]

whats needed in the way of entering?
besides the obvious bike/ helmet /riding gear????

Not sure if Ing'll are same as Otago but the Otago HAGD requirements for the Levels day on the 8th Nov are :


Riding gear requirements:
? Full face well fitting helmet less than 10 years old meeting NZS1884 as a minimum.
? Eye protection (goggles or a visor)
? Leather gloves
? Boots offering ankle protection and of sturdy construction preferably purpose made motorcycle boots
? Back protector
? Leathers, one or two piece are preferred but we will also accept the following:
o Kevlar riding jacket and trousers
o Cordura riding jacket and pants in groups 1and 2

Motorcycle requirements:
It is your responsibility to ensure your motorcycle is in a safe working condition.
Items to be checked as follows:
? Tyres in good order
? Brakes functioning correctly and in good order (brake pads included in check)
? Wheel bearings
? Steering head bearings and adjustment
? Swing arm bushes
? Spokes, adjusted and complete
? Sprocket’s and chain adjustment and condition
? No open ended handle bars are allowed, must have ends or be plugged
? Levers must have the “knobs” on the ends
? Mirrors removed
? Glass/lights if not removed will require to be taped over with a durable material such as a cloth tape
? No dangerous fittings that could cause injury (pack frames etc)
? General check for loose nuts, bolts etc

As well as the above Otago requires you to be a member of a MNZ Affiliated Club so maybe SMCC have the same requirement.

[hayd3n]

thanks nice to know maybe next time then ive welded my pack rack on to frame lol!!!!!!!!

[Jantar]

No, That is one problem no-one can ever fix. Its due to the extremely high combustion temperatures, and the crap that gets added to our fuel. However one thing that you can do to minimise the problem is the keep the idle air filter clean.

On top of the carb is a little alloy cylinder held on by a single philips head screw. Undo that screw and the cylinder comes off and lo and behold is a small gause filter not mentioned in the owners manual. keep that clean, and the bike runs smoother at low throttle, and is less likely to foul the plug.

[hayd3n]

So who wants to go for a ride this long weekend??
theres the conrodders on saturday/sunday im tempted to go have a look

[Virago]

"Snow on the hills, sleet and hail to sea level..."

I'll wimp out again, and get some work done around the house.

Monday looks like it might be good at this stage...

Thanks for that advice Jantar, I will check it out.

I bought a plug adapter on Ebay that allows you to use a modern Iridium plug (good thing since they dont make the other sort anymore). It also moves the plug tip further back up the plug hole. It used to foul the plug everytime I rode her, but since I put in the above set up, I have not fouled a single plug. It may have been a bit early to say I haved solved the problem, but so far it is looking good. I will keep you posted once I have done a few more K's.

[my_r32]

break myself into my new bike
kinda like breaking a horse in I guess? gotta get used to everything again, completely different riding position, close ratio gear box, its all different compared to the 'ol 125 where I sit quite straight up and down.

but :( I got the bike to ride.......but only with a dealer plate. stupid LTSA couldnt make a decision as to if they wanted to put the old vin number back on the bike, or issue it with a new one. So yeah, next week it should be on the road properly

[fatzx10r]

im keen for a ride on monday. where should we meet and what time?

[hayd3n]

post your ideas!! i dont know too many .

Also those dirty polluting round motors dont have air flow across the plug like a four stroke or multi transfer port two stroke to keep it clean. That is the main reason they are hard on plugs. Good to still see RE5's are still around though, 70's & 80's classics aren't seen to often these days.

[NighthawkNZ]

Well had an awesome day, met at the southern, and was a good turn out was a mix, this site members, the other site members, and non internet members. However we still had no idea what we were doing for the day. After much discussion and umming and arrghing it was decided that we will go to Alexandra for lunch, via Lawrence, where we found out that Fatzx10r water broke... we were thinking that Silvergrin's wife Michelle should have come she would have know what to do...

On to Roxburgh for a quick fuel stop, and then Alexandra and the Badger Bar for lunch.
After an imported burger with badger meat and after thought feed of wedges we were on our way back via Ranfurly and Middlemarch. Most turned off at Omakau, while a couple of us went via the top road through Lauder and Becks, and timed it perfectly as we past the Ida Valley junction, we saw a couple bikes ahead, and couple of bikes still coming down the valley road.

Into Ranfurly for fuel and a bit of a rest and chin wag. On our way again turning off at Kyeburn into hide and to Middlemarch... Our spidey senses were working and working well... on the long straight Mr Plod sitting in the cover... then a couple more km's down road mr plod number 2... we all waved and said thank-you spidey senses...
Into Middlemarch and a coffee break and off again to Outram, Me Cold Comfort and Hayden went up and over 3 mile hill... and home.

Simply put... awesome... perfect day, brilliant day, I could afford the petrol. There was a hint of wind on after Middlemarch but nothing really to write home about...

[my_r32]

its only water
Only trouble with water, is it makes bike dirty, I had strict instructions to keep it clean, as it still has to get vinned. :innocent:

Sounds like that was a good ride on monday, wish I could have gone, but alas dealer plates and a 30km radius from the bike shop :( Did however go on a nice ride with Heinekin, went out to Aramoana, and sat in the sun for a wee while, then came all the way back, down 3 mile hill to a mates place, then went back up 3 mile hill to Heinekins place, and then I went back down 3 mile hill and back to the boyfriends place. Was a lovely day for riding, was certainly getting used to the new wheels by that stage, did a few km's over the course of the weekend. Might have to try and come on the next Dunedin ride and meet a few of you guys and gals, by that stage, I should have freedom :headbang:

[GaZBur]

Garry, when is the mini TT, some time soon I hope
The club meeting is on tonight Tuesday instead of the usual Monday so if they have a new date I will post it here.

Hay gazbur was that you on the blue motard 650 down there?.
Yep - that was me. I also got to have a go on a friends lovely blue Yam 600 so may have been in the same class as you for a couple of sessions. My god sportsbikes are sooo much more fun on that long teretonga straight, 50k difference in tops speed to the Motards woooohoo! There is usually a reasonable contingent of Dunedin riders at any Teretonga or Levels meeting. Say hello to any of us and the Ingll boys are quite friendly too.
Don't forget that if you want in on the Otago Clubs Have a go day at Levels on the 8th November you must pre-enter by the 5th November as you can't just turn up like you can at Teretonga. PM me if you want a copy of the entry form.

Where abouta are the sprints? Can someone post a map please? I would love to get down there with the camera gear

[scorry]

Where abouta are the sprints? Can someone post a map please? I would love to get down there with the camera gear

the easiest way to get there is follow all the signs to the airport, then instead of going left into the airport you go straight through and take your next left, which is kirks drain road.
now the drags are held in the next block of KD rd, so carry on along the road for about 3k then you have to go right and left again onto KD rd
should be signposted tho

um well yea it is mate, we got bored one day and decided to go and take some photos of us doin a couple of wheelies.
the funny thing was that my mates werent very good at them so i had to ride their bikes in the photos lol


So who's going to the trackday at levels next weekend?

yep ill be up there on both my bikes, hope the weather is kind

[scorry]

does anyone down in dunnas have a 3 berth bike trailor they want to swap for my bike trailor for this weekend?
i am taking my CBR & WR as well as my mates FZR up to levels this weekend,

i checked it out last night and they do just just fit.

its that tight i have to cable tie up my WR's pegs and also take off the clutch lever on the CBR.

so if anyone has a 3 berth trailor chances are it is bigger than mine cos mine used to be a jet ski trailor, would you be keen on swapping it just for this weekend?
thanks heaps
Scorry

[Ruralman]

We went down and had a look at this machine last week and rode back as far as Milton with them (got sick of 90km/hr with traffic building up behind the group of bikes so we diverted off and attended to some other business)
A great piece of machinery for those in a wheel chair and with a hankering to get back on the road in something like a bike - while it was probably quite capable of going much faster than this girl was riding it, I could imagine that the way it reacts to bumps and corners and not having the control over your legs and body that the rest of us have to respond to and move the bike, it was probably fast enough.
You could see the thrill in her face from her section of the ride (Invercargill to Dunedin)
Not cheap though - around $75K NZ

you should go for a ride on sunday down to wyndham to watch the street race

[Rhubarb]

you should go for a ride on sunday down to wyndham to watch the street race

We are going for a day ride to Wyndham on Sunday. We went to Teretonga last year and it was fantastic.

Probably leaving the Mobil Garage on Portsmouth Drive at around 7.30am. We may go via the Catlins and then double back to Wyndham. Unless anyone knows of a sealed road from the Catlins to Wyndham.

I will post a more accurate departure time closer to the day. Feel free to join us. The more the merrier. (b.t.w. On these trips I cruise, I don't race - I quite like having my licence!)

Yup. Turn right at the top of the hill after you leave Fortrose shoreline. Proceed through Waimahaka, Pine Bush, turn right again at the top of the hill into Letterbox Road, through Glenham into Wydham. Nice road; I use it quite a lot.

Might see you there.

my boys call him the worlds oldest man with the nice bike whenever i saw him riding i couldnt get over how wrong he looked on the bike as in it didnt go with the way he looked, i think he used to have a vtr1000 as well, the car had a dent in the middle of the bonnet at the front it happened at that intersection between the vet clinic and la scala corner, possibly he was heading towards the BP and they may have turned in front of him

Definitely heading up on the Friday - was thinking I would head away from home after a prompt lunch and from Dunedin between 2-3pm. How does that compare to other travel plans???

Is anyone else interested in a blast up the Pig Root (or Middlemarch road and Hyde hill) and then over the Danseys Pass ?? - or are you heading up via Maheno etc?. If I'm going over the Danseys all loaded up I'd rather do it without a hangover!!!:sweatdrop.

Chris has been over the Danseys on the Custard Square so lots of riders could do it if they want to and take their time

[Daffyd]

via Maheno for me. Don't do gravel if I can avoid it.

[cold comfort]

Neither do i except when "directed" to Curio Bay via the "scenic route" by the back seat driver!

Dont forget the Bronz toy run tomorrow, metting at careys bay pub about 130 then cruise to the dental school to assemble and ride up the main st.

oh and i am dropping my CBR off in oamaru on sunday, just wondering if anyone needs a bike taken up there or brought back?

i will have room on my trailor for one on the way up and 2 on the way back.

The best way to meet the KB crew is to head to the Danseys Pass gathering this weekend - at this stage you won't get a cabin but if you can squeeze a tent onto those street legal missiles you call bikes, then there'll be plenty of room.
Paula/Xaria is taking a car up and has offered to take gear for anyone needing that.
it would be good to have a KB ride day sometime soon though - maybe another "Latte's in Lawrence" ride

Gosh, that 999 is very shiny. I'm pretty sure '59 Cadillacs have less chrome ;)

Geez, could you get any more 80's??

[RobRod]

Graphic's look good, there was definately no bikes with that look in the eighties, that look is early to mid nineties.:mobile:

[Daphilps]

Geez, could you get any more 80's??

well its a 1987 bike anyway, but i just liked the look. better than plain gunmetal Grey. they were custom designed, so the only one in the world with these grafix so I'm happy.

Not 250 rides as such, but there's a regular ride on a thursday. We are encouraging new riders to come along and look at gearing rides to those who are there, so if there are new riders, it's a nice comfortable ride. If more experienced riders, then look at something a bit more challenging.
This week looking at meeting at about 2:30 at Bathgate Park on Hillside Road.

[RobRod]

[Xaria]

Where abouts is it? Is it on each week?

[scorry]

Hey Scorry, how was Ruapuna???????????????????

what an awesome track, but its too fast for the motards to have any chance against the road bikes.

I managed 8th overall out of 27, so i am happy enough with that.

got my fastest lap into the 1.49's, which is fast enough to put me in the top 3 motards that race up there.

so the new bike is goin awesome and i have been told to do the sound of thunder, which means sorry nath i wont be headin down to teretonga
