Sorry, I forgot to wish you luck when I saw you today.... how rude! Glad to hear you're still alive though, how long is the recovery gonna take?

Be nice to the hired help,pretty hard to wipe ya arse without hands,and needing helping hands joined to another body creates fun,and when you're not looking they swipe the cotton softs for wet n dry 100grit for revenge.

Good excuse to get out of dishes,enjoy and heal quick,the novelty wears off after a day or seven ,but at least you're out of hostipal.

It was a pleasure to cook for you girls last night, turned out OK eh. That was a pretty nasty affliction alright and it's good to see it being taken care of properly :yes: :doctor:

Meanie, glad you're OK too, heal well buddy!

Yep, Blacksheep is a ray of sunshine when in hospital, I remember blathering in a drugged state to him when I was in there :wacko:

Just back from Rex's ride, good turnout and very enjoyable riding, pretty wet tho.

Was a good "experience" alright. Trying to ride, when I couldn't see the road in front of me for the rain on my visor, first time pledge has let me down. Heated grips rock though :love:

Got Bonnie home in one piece though, as did everyone else, that is the main thing.

Have to catch up at some stage and get your spot prizes to you & Mo.

Just did my first little protest against the rise in rego and put Monies bike on hold for three months. We will register it in three months for six months then on hold for six thus only paying half yearly rego. and yes we will still ride it when we feel like it

Easy as on line

Gonna do the same with mine when its due

F**K em

VTR's rego has expired. Gonna try and buy 15 months at the current price before it goes up.

thats the way to do it. you got to be really really unlucky or a complete prick to be booked for no rego.. and even if you do at $200 you have to be booked twice in 6 months before being in the red.

[86GSXR]

Good shit. The Daytona is due in a few days, luckily it just sneaks in before the price rise. Starts to get a bit painful after awhile, bastards.

or commute on it, damn parking wardens. I put 12 months on the bros a few weeks ago, so I aint get hit with the price rise till next year, and if my electric works well, I'll do same as meanie with the bros, and commute on electric, which is cheaper cos its a moped ;)

Exactly what I am going to do with mine, have it only exemption (hold) for another couple of weeks, then will rego for 15months at old rate....................MR27 Andrew is the form you will require.

Anyone need some riding gear?

[bogan]

just been out for a test ride of my electric project, seemed to go alright and would be good as for a 50kmhr commuter, though it did have a wee fault where a bit of it caught fire when it hit about 50kmhr. meh, progress is progress though :D and it was cool to ride...

Out of it! sweet! Can you make an electric hybrid motor I can add to the 14 so I can sneak past the popo?

[bogan]

Out of it! sweet! Can you make an electric hybrid motor I can add to the 14 so I can sneak past the popo?

hmmm, what you want in that situation is a KERS (kenetic energy recovery system) you 'engine break' to spin up a flywheel to bout 50,000rpm, then it gives you bout 60hp or less when it spools down, last bout 30 secs iirc so plenty to avoid the popo.

Nice mounts!

Yeah, I stuffed up - took the bar ends off and then forgot to even look at them before I trimmed the grips (the grips overhang the bars by heaps but the bar ends actually stick out a bit from the bars). Stoopid mistake! :slap:

Nah, couldn't fit them the other way up (and you can't get left mixed with right, different diameters) - they would hit the fairing. Interestingly AFC fitted the Connie's ones that way too.

Cutting grip off? You don't have a compressor then?

Careful with that throttle grip not glued on. It may start to slip when it heats up and expands, as mine did on the Parapara's:doh: Not sure who's stupid idea it was to use hairspray:2guns:

[banditrider]

Around the other way the "Oxford" is up the right way..........a bit weird actually as they say in the book to fit them however it works as long as you don't foul anything, so why would they put their brand name upside down when turned like mine? It's not as it needs to be like that so you can see "Oxford" up the right way from underneath the bars....




If you can understand any of this then you're doing better than me...

found out my bros has 41rwhp today, little shy of the 46 hordpower gets off a stock one, but they get 52 with a stage 3 jetting kit and free flowing intake/exhaust, will have a look see at all the valve clearances and compression at some point to see where them ponys are hiding, then bring in some more with go-fast parts!

And holly shit them gsxr600's rev highly loudly!

googled p6, not a bad looking old girl!

yeh, 86k so may need a top end rebuild, but nah, no need for going too hard out, would be plenty quick enough with 50hp, and seeing as I'm redoing the suspension on both ends it will be able to use all that power round the bendy bits too!

Cheers dude.
My bros was smaking out a fair bit of power [considering] and had done 27km. I believe it had been around the clock as the clutch was somewhat shagged. I think it had a cam kit in her, had some mega jetting done and a full stainless system, which sounded the bees bobs.

yeh, my clutch is on the way out too, kinda thinking if I can get the electric going good enough to be a daily commute I might pull the bros to bits and do a thorough job of it all before summer, with enough time and a not insignificant sum of cash I reckon I can turn it into something fucking epic.

I've ridden a few ks on an R6. Beautifully put together machine, but be careful if you do get it. They are blisteringly fast, light and responsive and being a modern sportsbike the speed is very deceptive. That is, take it really easy for the first few months until you get thoroughly used to it. It's very easy to be lulled into a false sense of security by a bike like that. They're not too bad comfort wise either.

thanks 86... being brand new it would have to be run in so wont being too quick any time soon

[86GSXR]

No worries. Yep, and even during the run in it'll be very fast. When I first got the Daytona I surprised myself on many occasions by the deceptiveness of a new bike, having ridden older ones before that. The issue you will find is that because they are so fast and smooth and quiet, your sensation of speed is negligible. So that means that when you approach a corner which you would normally have a good feel for on your old bike, you will suddendly realise that you are travelling a lot faster than your senses would have you believe. That's what you need to take into account and be ready for.

Haven't been on it for a wee while but watch that road from Eke to Alfredton - it can very greasy during winter. Also, the same applies for just north of Pongaroa. If wet or cold watch any shady places. And keep an eye out for the usual loose metal and roaming stock.

I had a case of "Doug VS dying dog" yesterday, I lost to a dying dog. Have some superb battle scars coming I imagine.

[ynot slow]

Was thinking of metz m6,or diablo but stuck with pr2 again,$588 set,made choice easy.And have done probably 15-17500km.Were on the bike at 10500km and changed at 25500km.
Had a discussion in Hastings shop about Shinko 005,looked good price($485 set)but figured they might last 13-15000km and extra cost of pr2 gives extra km so worth the extra $100.The conversation with the guy was 2 guys headed to Burt Munroe last year,riders on TL and SV1000,the TL and SV had new tyres on same day,the TL had totally stuffed tyres after return back on Pirellis,the SV had about 2/3rd tread left on return,take a little while to warm up.

Oh no what happened, were you on your bike?

I had similar situation (same day), but I was in my car, and only got a little bite/scratch on wrist. Hope you are healing ok.
