Well had some goodies for the bike turn up just now, pity it's in at AFC atm... Mind you I could always fit it to the other ZX14 they lent me to get home on, must say that "limited edition" paint job does look better out in the sun but it's still not my cuppa tea.

this post is pointless without pictures!!!!

My nephew Adam was diagnosed with cancer when he was very young. His parents of course were distraught and like any young couple had no money to spare. A lot of time was needed to be spent in Wellington for treatment-that involved a lot of travel and accommodation costs.

RMH offered a place where they could stay and petrol vouchers to help transport Adam to his chemo sessions. They found that staying with other parents in a similar situation gave them the endless support, comfort and the will to help Adam fight this cruel disease.

I myself feel I did not do enough to help them.....I have many excuses. Although I readily offered my help I was scared and not sure what was needed. We were not a particularly close knit family-the saying was `I’ve raised my kids; you can raise yours’ (from Grandparents). I was not allowed to interfere so could only offer an ear if needed-I should have done more for them.

After a gallant fight, Adam passed away at age 4.

I chose a mighty Golden Elm to plant for him in the garden. The kids and I picked out a big Elm from the nursery and planted it so it would have pride and place of the garden. When spring came and the neighbours Elms had started to bud-Adams tree was bare. A month later when the neighbour’s trees were in full leaf-Adams tree was still bare. I figured it was perhaps a `dud` tree and a nursery confirmed it must be dead. I left the tree there as a reminder and felt that I was being punished for being such a coward by doing something `after` rather than when it was needed before his passing.

That summer while we were in town I asked the kids if they wanted to go up and see Adams grave-he had been gone for awhile I still had not gone up to see him. We went to see him and had a chat. The kids left some things for him, a precious `Pokemon card` and flowers. I told him I loved him and hoped things were ok now he was pain free. A few weeks later my son Sam yelled from the garden “Mum, come and see Adams tree”. You guessed it........it was covered in leaves.......

Fundraising for the RMH is the least I can do, for Adam and the huge number of people who go through the devastation of having a critically sick child.

there is some clever people around here, can anyone make a 8mm thread fit into a 5mm hole?? preferably without making the hole bigger. some sort of adaptor or something?????

8mm does not fit into 5mm, unless theres some sort of space-time adapter, think the autobots have them. 5mm fit into 8mm hole is doable, remachining the 8mm thread down to a 5mm thread is probably doable...

also, big fuckoff hammer will do the trick

one of the mirrors fell off my bike today, as i was riding. noticed it was in the wrong place and went to ajust it. and it came off in my hand!!!! snapped clean in the adjusting bit. not possibale to weld it back together so was thinking replace with something FLASH (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=265705553)

i know they are ment for handle bar mount, but i recon they would work just as well off the fairing. the hole were my current mirrors are have 5mm bolts and these fancy ones have 8mm.

so thats the problem in contexts. remachining sounds good. would this weeken it to much??

any other solutions that dont involve big hammers or autobots??? maby we could bring in that top fuels drag bike that was at the boxing day races, that tears holes in the time-space continuum and makes little girls cry. anything is possible when that happens!!!

[bogan]

any other solutions that dont involve big hammers or autobots???

well sure there are other solutions but without hammers or autobots they arent nearly as fun :D

I cant actually tell how they mount from the TM picture, Im assuming they have a single 8mm which threads into the clipons on the handlebars. And your VFR has two 5mm hole bout 20-40mm apart? If that is the case we could make an adapter to fit between them

This eye-catching concept bike called the Ducati 599 Mono is the latest creation of Dan Anderson, the same man behind the Voltra electric concept that blinked an eye to the motorcycle press last year.

While its creator doesn’t have bad references at all, we can’t say we’re too ashamed of the way this thing looks…perfect, that is. You can spend hours trying to find something wrong with the aggressive design, which remains faithful to the original Ducati style, but once you start getting into details, something just doesn’t fit. More precisely, the 352lbs (dry) Ducati 599 Mono concept is powered by one half of a Ducati Evoluzione 1198 engine, meaning a 599cc single-cylinder thumper.

So why would anyone want to do that? My guess is that the designer thought at sacrificing horsepower over torque so that his concept would attract attention for eventually being capable to offer supermoto-like engine performance despite the Italian supersport lines. How does this combination sound to you?

with todays turbo-diesel technology, we could see BHp figures close to what we have with conventional motors.... but with a F@#k load of torque!

Not mention economy. I think that this (http://www.dieselmotorfiets.nl/) would be a great bike for touring the world on. I reckon a quiet, smooth & powerful diesel (it would have to be all 3) in something like the Connie would be great - think of the range! The GC in on 2 tanks of gas...

it's FMS, the middle section between pongaroa and alfredton is a bit rough in patches so take it a bit easy through there though

the rest of route 52 south to masterton and the rest of route 52 north to waipuk is completely sublime as well....definitely worth doing if you're over that way

i need a new back tyre on my bike, so i telephoned my favorite bike shop to ask it they had a michelin pilot road 2. they didn't, so i asked if they could get one in for me, "sure no problem" he said "ill order it now and it should get here tomorrow." sweet!!!:2thumbsup


10 minutes later he calls back and says there suppliers don't have any and it will be around the end of the month before they can get one in:shit:

Sooo, the question i ask of you all now is, Where might i find a new michelin pilot road 2? and has anyone got a clue as to how much i would expect to pay for one in the size of 170/60 ZR17?????

[yod]

i just got one from AFC - but i have a normal bike with normal sized tyres, and therein lies your problem, it's just not a common size

try a different tyre maybe?

edit: mine was $365 fitted - so maybe $310-330 for the smaller size?

[86GSXR]

Yep, AFC normally have good stocks of PR2's at good prices. Try Cycletreads in Auckland, they have a huge variety and very reasonable prices. www.cycletreads.co.nz

Try trade me mate, sometimes dealers put odd sizes tyres on to move them. Also cycletrends in AKL have a biggish range of PR2 too. Or call AFC like yod says.

Well my TBR pipes finaly turned up today after nearly four weeks waiting. I will have to replace the exhaust flange gaskets as they're starting to crumble and I think they're not as thick as they should be as I can't seem to get a good enough tightness on the S pipes.

So off to city honda tomorow to see if I can get a hold of some gaskets.

You sure you can't use the old ones? Mine were a bit daggy but I just went carefully and made sure I put them on the tapered end first and then slipped the new mid pipe over carefully. Nothing to loose if you've ordered new ones anyway. Remember that the gasket goo is supposed to have 24 hours curing though...

Did you apply the gasket maker on both ends of the mid pipe? I onlt applied the stuf on the end that went into the canisters.
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/118193-Leak-on-exhaust
So I should apply the same on this end too?

Yeah man, that sucks dude...

Chin up I say. I wil proberly get some new gaskets and get a bike shop to fit them for me.

[banditrider]

Just from cans to mids. The bottom end needs to be able to move a little as you get everything into place nicely before tightening everything up. Also, make sure that you get the mufflers nicely lined up before the goo goes off - wouldn't do to have your nice oval mufflers looking skew-f (just made that spelling up)!

I know I am out of touch but hey lack of a home computer does that to a hard-working PhD student.

Shall have to catch up on all of Andrews tips before the off and see if I can make better average speed than GC, hopefully less changes of clothes too :sunny:



At last a laptop that works, makes up for working instead of a couple of 'one night stands' in Napier :lol:

Great ride on Wednesday 18 bikes including another babe riding :2thumbsup:

Maria seemed to enjoy the send off. A ride on Kenny's 675 fuelled with AVGas made my night, would love to get that off him on a track day (roll on April).

Word must have got out about Rick offering to take me underwear shopping on the CD ride to Napier rather than to the bike shops :lol:

I hear he spent most of the last track day being pursued in the pits ;)
Now the poor guy may have even more women chasing him, good job the Aprillia is fast (when it stays on the track :innocent:).


Does this mean an influx of women riders at CD ?!!!!

That would be awesome, we can give the boys a run for their money for sure :sunny:

with a shock that had absolutely zero damping effect so...

haha the pogo effect rapidly decreases the turning radius of the bike through corners giving it better handling, but lengthens the swing arm through straights to increase top speed......
i tell you cowboyz is sneaky, its a carefully planed modification

Nah, once we got underway it was easy. A bit of a squeeze for Michelle on the Tiger until we got to Waipuk where Sel's very kindly put the tent and airbed onto his Tiger leaving us the back seat free. From there the ride got even better, especially the twisties into the rally site!!!

[cowboyz]

headed over to lower hutt to Kerry Dukuc's to pick up my shock.
Home quick and put it together with the bike and took it for its madien run!

FRIK! What a difference! So much more comfortable and confidence inspiring! NZSarge came with for a run over the saddle before carrying on home and I went over to the track for a bit of testing.. I mean ,.. a pootle. Nice run!

So the 9 is back and better than ever!

Oh.. and for a new piston, seals, oil, gas bladder.. putting it together and tuning it up nicely it cost me a grand total of $250! Huge thanks to Kerry Dukuc!

they are small holes and most in the shape of my head!

[bogan]

they are small holes and most in the shape of my head! lol, perhaps a helmet next time then! Get a bike with a real powerband and they'd be a little more than small holes ;)

[sparkles]

piff a little 125 powerband vs a 185:lol::lol::whistle:

[cowboyz]

I did have a helmet! Sparky was holding onto it... did you even watch the video????


piff a little 125 powerband vs a 185:lol::lol::whistle:

Yes.. the power of the 185...... Its amazing how much power something appears to have if you take away the ability to brake and corner...........

[bogan]

piff a little 125 powerband vs a 185:lol::lol::whistle:

thems fighting words!, at least you still have a 2T though, not one of them filthy un-civilised 4Ts

ah yeh, i had just assumed that was sparkys :whistle:


Yes.. the power of the 185...... Its amazing how much power something appears to have if you take away the ability to brake and corner........... Seems like all farmbike style dirtbike have shit brakes and suspension, dunno why as it cant be that hard to make that shit work :confused: did notice a good wheelie or two though

[sparkles]

o the 185 has NO! suspension at all


maybe fill of water or something

[bogan]

hmmm, just drain the oil out until it regains suspension action, dampning wont be good but itll be better than nothing
