Dog then replies, all good mate bit warm on it but all good, My master works me hard but treats me well !
farmers jaw drops and is dumbfonded !
ventriliquist then says, do ya mind if i chat to yr horse ? Farmer replies still with mouth wide open, ummmm sure !
So the guy looks at the horse and says Hi there horse, does your farmer treat you well and give you plenty of excercise !
The horse replies, yeah he's a good sort of bloke, rides me every day and tosses me plenty of hay !
Farmer's just totally gobsmacked by now and just stares in disbelief !
The ventriliquist then asks the farmer if its ok if he has a chat to his sheep !

Careful about the guns quote with the army.

Had a school mate go into the army after leaving school,was in the infantry division,was there for 10 yrs or so,said if you called the rifle a gun you were marched up the middle of the barracks naked proclaiming,this is a gun this is a rifle,this one is for rooting,this one is for shooting.All the while holding said dick in hand.He did say the live firing was fun,especially when the odd sheep strayed into line while on manouveres,apparently they seem to disintegrate with heavy fire.

:buggerd:Ive embraced blouseness and fitted some Daytona Hot Grips tonight. Sunday night through the Desert Rd wasn't totally fun. Along with a lack of headlamp power the freezing fingers kinda dulled the usual enthusiam for carving up the countryside with the JadedBlade.

Now have toastie hands AND twin Phillips Vision Plus50 55/60W headlamps to play with on the way to work at 5am tomorrow morning.:2thumbsup

To complete the joy all I need is a good frost to freshen things up and provide plenty of exciting and welcome black ice on every highspeed apex.

neat.

[NZsarge]

this is where Sarah's mind decided to go a little wayward.....


:shit:

[NZsarge]

Might see whats happening in the other place around this country, they all as crazy as us???

I got my doubts...

[slydesigns]

:niceone:Successful test... Hot Grips rock!

[yod]

ya big jesse!!

[yod]

seriously tho, where from and how much?

[slydesigns]

$120 from PT's, Daytona brand, open ended as the CBR has shorter grips than normal and a gay bar end weight.
They have 4 packs of the closed ended ones and 1 more of the open ended ones.
Took 20mins to fit up the grips including wiring, soldered NOT crimped.
Feel pretty good, not too bulky or hard and they get nice and toasty within a minute.

After riding to work this morning and feeling the warmth flowing up my arms I'm proud to be a jesse.:bleh:

Actions speak louder than words and we know how good the lil honda goes. Whos going to call it or its rider gay if its half there size and either running rings round them or atleast hanging with them... hopefully no one.

...and if they do I'll have to divert attention by pointing at a Kawasaki and laughing in the hope that everyone will join in.

[manwithav8]

Oh no, here we go again...

ssshhhh not so loud, the lass thinks her ass is skinny, she is still trying to get over the whole bra thing....lol

[slydesigns]

And I blew by an RF in a drag race on a lil tired 400, which had the lead down a hill, infront of credable witnesses.... right meanie...

Although I DID have the edge as the 400, no matter HOW tired it was, was still a Honda.

[yod]

hahah yes I heard that story.. Also heard the RF was in top and the rider just rolled on from there without a gear change.. No matter how big the beast, suprise it from behind and your gonna win everytime regardless of you choice of weapon... In time the RF would have made a plate of beans out of you :2guns::2guns::2guns:

Oh yeah sorry... So, top gear, suprised from behind (cowardly move IMO) and a weight of not less than 300kg total....hhmm now lets think here.. Drop down 2 gears and open up??????

jadedblade would have become eaten blade even with all that weight??

rematch then... CBRxx vs Cbr400rr a straight and some twisties - up hill and down again, or manfield. And bring the RF.

Who me.... no.... don't be ridiculous.... I don't have small bike syndrome.... do I?


and Yod wasn't surprised, I sent him a letter, 3 emails, a txt and had it skywritten earlier that day that I was going to sucker punch him when his back was turned.

hahahaha I don't think the CBRxx is going to be easy to beat... Just beat up for it's colouring!!!!!

I'll bring the RF for sure, I hear they are good for carrying a decent load... Did you want me to carry a second engine so you can match ponies with the blackbird and RF???

[cowboyz]

settle.

but if not can I throw a ZX in the mix just for interest sake. It may give all of you something to focus on in the distance......................

Seriously, I would like to see a rolling drag with the ZX Vs The Yodmobile with all the extra kit that things got. I reckon it would be a close enough call to bet on.

[Meanie]

In the late 90's, didn't the 1/4 mile drag stats go something like ZZR1100, ZX9R, CBR1100XX?
I could be wrong.:whistle:

the standing quarter has alot to do with rider/grip/getting a good start. I dont mind doing a standing start but if you want to compare bike for bike it is easier to start from 50k. its not rocket science to twist the throttle and hold on. All in the name of penis power of course.

eeewww....that is just dodgy:pinch:

[manwithav8]

Well, for the past 3 hours I been in the shed with big bum RF....

Some research work was required. Ever since it was dropped off I noticed an erratic idle and akward riding at low speeds, was running rather rough untill she got up above 3000RPM...

I found out the the RF is renouned for wearing the needle jet due to the angle the carbs are mounted....

So, being the true boy I am, have only had the bike one week and apart she came....Under close inspection, I have some ovality coming in which is causing the rough running... Now, being the clever bastard I am I had two options of quick fix untill I can get onto the dealership on monday (waiting on the verdict so they can start repair action).

1. Drop the Jet needle down one knotch... or

2. Lower the float level by 1mm.

Now, here is the stink part, the carbs Suzuki used on the RF's are a non tamper carb for emission standards. There for dropping the Jet Needle was a no go as it only had one setting, and to adjust the float level the carbs would have to come right off... hhmm so what a pickle I was in..

I inspected the Jet Needle again and noticed a very small rather thin shim on the under side... I thought well, what can it hurt, I will need to eventually do a carb overhaul anyway so I removed the little shim which dropped the Jet Needle into the needle Jet by a small amount.

Ok, so with that done it was time to put her all back together and run her up... Right away the idle seemed smoother, not so erratic.. So on went the gear and away I went...

Results are ok, smoother riding at low rpm and a better idle.. She feels like all 4 a re firing round intersections not just 3..

There is still a little hiccup but not as bad...

So now the next move is to get onto the dealer for some sort of action, whether they can supply new parts to repair properly..

I am kind of hoping the way to go would be fit a set of factory pro emulsion tubes ( needle jets ) and while there I am hoping they might even supply a factory pro jet kit......

Anyway, thats how I spent my evening, how did the rest of you manawatu buggers spend yours????????

[86GSXR]

I spent mine having a latte at Cuba, picking up a car I was given, and watching TV.

Hmmmm, I hope you get the RF going soon! Wish I'd seen it :soon: Good on ya for dealing to it so quickly, wish I had those skills. Must learn them soon :niceone:

Some choice tracks alright,have walked Lake Dive in winter,around the Opunake side to Oanui and new hut Waiaua,have done return plateau to Dawson Falls walk.The scenery and wilderness on the tracks is great,and only about 10mins from Stratford,then maybe 1hr walk into silence.Like the smell you get in the bush after rain,as long as I'm not wet lol.

Dad and his partner have 35 acres about 5km from Stratford boundary on Pembroke Rd,great views of the mountain,even snow if (un)lucky in winter.

Also have an auntie and(late)uncle who farm under the mountain in Opunake,they have nearly 800acres which goes to the boundary fence.Only 15 mins from town,they have great views of mountain and coastal areas too.

Yeah that spot your Aunt farms would be great ! Had a look at the area around the pouakai's ! If it wasn't for Heidi wanting to come back down here to the Kapiti Coast, that would have been the area i would have headed to ! Find somewhere to cover me from the NWers and have the coast and mount right on the doorstep, not to mention some of the best roads in NZ !

Top of Wiremu Rd -Kaweaora Rd area is great on a fine day.General area she farms.

Ask Al and Sarah how good the road is,we took Wiremu-Stratford/Opunake Rd to the falls first then went down to Manaia Rd to Kaponga,then along Eltham Rd to Opunake.First time I've been on those roads as well(late learner),a few rough bits but overall ok,still need to be weary of cows,trucks etc.

[sinfull]

Well with a name like william i'd fit in nicely there lol ! Rode that one a couple of times when we did the odd round the mountain run ! Heidi's daughter lives out Rahotu so we used to trip out there a bit !
She also got her Scorp while still up on the mount so them roads are a great training ground !
So are you Stratford way or Hawera ! Can see you knowing the forgotten highway quite well !

[ynot slow]

Hawera live,but work in Stratford.Will change soon.

Lived here most of my life,hadn't been to Whangamomona till I bought the bike,how bad is that,never even by car,closest had been was 10km from the pub lol.

Been to the pub 3 or 4 times now,taken 40+ years to do it,used to hunt and tramp in the surrounding area as a younga guy.

The road trip from NP to Hawera via coast is good,but also the route along Carrington Rd onto Wiremu Rd to Ihaia Rd to Opunake is a good one.

Only thing really about Taranaki is you generally go out and come back the same way,except doing the round the mountain.Ok you can go from Hawera along the Surf Highway upto Kaponga then along to Eltham/Stratford and home.

Unless ya head through over mt messanger through the awakino gorge and make a day of it coming home awww there would be a number of choices wouldn't there ? hehe some roads up there i've never been on let alone on a bike !
Used to detour through NP (well by pass it) just to avoid SH1 as it was getting to be a weekly ritual to be headed to auckland there at one stage !
It probably only adds an hour if that once ya know the road from here to auck or vice versa on a night run !

[ynot slow]

Yep SH3 to Auckland is fun,Mokau,Awakino areas are great from viewpoint of sea views and mountain views,and in my opinion much more pleasant than up the middle of the island.

[ProCycles]

Just thought I would let you know we are an Authorised Dynojet Tuning Centre and experienced in Dyno Tuning a wide range of bikes, including the current Formula National Champion, Glen Williams (Suzuki SV650), give us a call sometime and talk to the guys re Power Commander and dyno tuning, prices and advice etc, we would be happy to help.

Sounds like a great trip except for the animals.

You were lucky as I saw a couple of cop cars (parked)going to Stratford in the morning,and a few bikes as well on the road but none ticketed.

The pub justs begs to be visited,hope you remembered the passports,good fundraiser for local community,they should make the jar bigger on the bar.

Weather permitting, next weekend (queen's B-day) i'll was thinking of taking a ride to Napier via Dannevirke, Porongahau, Wiapukarau and out the back way through to Havelock North, maybe have lunch somewhere (Clifton or Napier perhaps) while that's going on I need to catch up with R-Dog if he's going to be around and then back by whichever route.

Speak up if you're keen, join in the fun.
It won't be a time pressured ride other the the start time, key is to enjoy the ride.

yep...looks like a decent size but not as big as I thought it might be - hard to say though, a fair bit of remodelling/renovating going on by the looks

I am heading up north on Thurs .. looking at going vinegar hill way .. anyone not working & wants to keep me company as I venture north ..

looking at packing on about 1500 ks this weekend Weather is looking pretty good so :rockon:

and hopefully we will not come across any nice pretty patches of diesel :nono:

[yod]

what were you two buggers laughing at as we drove off yesterday???

are you gonna put a couple of pink bunnies on the RF too?

it'd look mint!

[yod]

will be heading up north for the long weekend with wifey and kids so no riding going on here.

Nice sig pic Yod. That Sapphire green bike looks mint.

On a more disturbing note. Watch the diesel!! I just went for a slide coming home tonight turning into my street from the main road. Very very close to requiring a new paint job. Kept it off the road while managing to twist my leg in a way you only want to see from a blonde swedish gymnist.

glad to hear it was just a twisted leg

Weather permitting, next weekend (queen's B-day) i'll was thinking of taking a ride to Napier via Dannevirke, Porongahau, Wiapukarau and out the back way through to Havelock North, maybe have lunch somewhere (Clifton or Napier perhaps) while that's going on I need to catch up with R-Dog if he's going to be around and then back by whichever route.

Speak up if you're keen, join in the fun.
It won't be a time pressured ride other the the start time, key is to enjoy the ride.

Maybe heading through your way v early Sat morning - looking at putting on some k's this weekend...
