Ummmmm Well i was sorta prepared when we went to Brens for his housewarming , even left a couple of bourbons there in case ya turned up after we left !!!
But it was raining i spose, in fact it was a storm lol But i did see a couple of m+ms' Riding in the rain the other day lol so you'll have to come up with another excuse for not showing up !
Don't get me wrong, sex is great but it's the bloody cuddles you women want before and after, lol a man needs to catch a few z's somewhere too !
Gone are the days of getting home from the pub with empty ball sacks and ya left thinkin, i lost a few hours there somewhere !

[Owl]

What did you get? See you on the Friday night ride?

A big arse TV and DVD recorder:banana:. You probably will see me tomorrow, as I'm now officially on holiday till the 12th Jan:ride:.

[NZsarge]

If I feel up to it you might see me too, looks like the weather might play ball.

[ynot slow]

Well seeing as I can't go on the world famous Hawera bike pub crawl this year(my daughter will be my proxy):apint:best I see if I can finish work in time for a ride,and thefood is bloody great at Fusion.:clap:

[KiwiKat]

Hoping to see you all there.

[NZsarge]

Where were ya? I know I was late but after a quick trip over the track, through Balance & the gorge you lot still weren't at the cafe...

Sorry mate, due to the weather we headed east and ended up in Pahiatua.

[banditrider]

No worries. Good ride? It was quite nice out there eh?

[NZsarge]

A nice ride. Sorry we missed you. Pity about the cafe thing.

Off Topic- Tuesday weather is looking mint for a long ride.

[cowboyz]

No worries. Good ride? It was quite nice out there eh?

did I see you coming away from ashhurst on the VTR? I was just heading home and called in at fusion to find noone there so bailed home. Meanie showed up a short time later to fill me in. Sounds like a minta. Bummer I couldnt make it but got all things that need doing done

Eyup, coulda told ya that they weren't at the cafe. Had a good ride over the track & through Balance though.

[oscarnz]

Great ride last night, loved the road from Oringi thru to Pahiatua.

Sorry Andrew and Lance, but you should know us by now, nothing is set in concrete when it comes to our routes :no:

[Meanie]

Realy enjoyd those rides out the back of woodville, hadnt been over there before. Awesome nnigt for a ride and plenty of others thought so too judging by the amount of bikes on the ride. Black stump was a little busy with christmas functions so food was out of the question there but got a drink anyway. Good to see some new faces again, even Yod managed to get the very shiny with slightly dented muffler blackbird out for a wee ride
Great night thanks all
And for those i dont catch up with before have a most awesome christmas and new year

You're a hard man Jake Heke!:laugh:


Well seeing as I can't go on the world famous Hawera bike pub crawl this year(my daughter will be my proxy):apint:

I wondered who I was talking to about 1250 Bandit's. Three thing's to say: Nice bike, pleased to sort of meet you and I guess I really suck at introductions!:o


Sounds like a minta.

It was a minta and I'd been wanting to check out Bonez's CBX, Monamie's Buell (worn paint on frame) and result from Yod's footwork! I thought of a couple of solutions for Yod's muffler!
1. Superglue your boot to the dent and give it a tug (reverse method).:D
2. Remove the skin, turn it back to front and relocate the badge?

All in all, it was a good ride with a pretty massive turn out. I'll have to get out on some more Friday nighter's!:yes:

[NZsarge]

It seems general consensus the that was the last friday night ride for the year which is fair enough but i'm assuming that things will resume say friday the 9th of january?

hey thats a good idea, i might too

[ynot slow]

Might go to Hawera,pretty boring but easy,then onto Stratford to dads,might check out the Stratford Plateau as dad is 5km from park boundary.

If anyone is riding down SH2 be aware of extra traffic due to races at Tehaurinikau(sp),lots of floats etc,especially after the races.

[road king]

We are off to Tangimoana for the night to catch up with friends.
Hope the rain holds off tho.

[Switch]

Well since you lazy buggers arn't going I'll have to ride by myself!
I'll be leaving Feilding around 5:40ish to get to Ashurst Mobil around 6.
Hope someone turns up :clap:

[KiwiKat]

Well since you lazy buggers arn't going I'll have to ride by myself!...

There, there. :baby:

I won't be making the 5:40 6:00pm, but if no one there text me or call in. I'm thinking of doing a later ride (cooler / darker) out Halcombe / Vinegar hill way. (I will need to watch out for all the pinkies heading home though)


A nice little pootle this afternoon. Stinking hot. A good turnout too. Good to see an experienced rider having a bit of fun as a pillion. The fingernail grooves on the Triumphs grab bar might be hard to get out though.:buggerd::baby:

[cowboyz]

been and gone and it was mint. Just waiting for the boys to show up so we can go on bike recovery service as Dogs had a bit of trouble making it round apiti loop on the loaner.

[banditrider]

Hot work out there alright but the road is in pretty good nick at the mo - not too much metal on the road etc.

really good nick. been a while since I been out that way and fun fun fun. The 9 was being very well behaved and tyres are holding out to the bitter end. Have to get through till tuesday when my new one arrives.

It was hot alright. Dogs had trouble with air being on the wrong side of the tyre. So 86, dogs and I did the loop again this arvo in the recovery vehicle. Thought we would get away with no bins for the day but I managed to let the side down and came a cropper on dogs bike. Just too much power for this boy......

have to watch the power of those scooters. From now on I going to stick to the big bikes.

All sorted now?

You say that now but I can see ya on a DN-01...

[cowboyz]

You say that now but I can see ya on a DN-01...

the daytona is sitting in my carport with a temp tyre on it and the holy one is ready to go for repair. Found out it takes ALOT longer to get around the apiti loop in a 4WD and trailer than it does on the bike.

All I can say is yes . 50cc scooters can wheelie and a 12 oclock bar would have saved my arse from hitting the ground. One would have thought I am getting too old for this..........

Now you're talking some sense...

Pleased to hear things are nearly sorted - at the end of a long day. Scooters rock man.

Anyone want to soften / roughen my back tyre a bit for me? Wire brush, burnout maybe?

[KiwiKat]

What's the tyre on it?

OEM Dunlop D205.

[cowboyz]

I'm sick of it slipping. :argh:It's as hard as ...

hate to tell ya but burn outs and the like will not soften the tyre. All it will do it it kill the tyre quicker so you can replace it with something stickyier sooner. However, I know just the man for the job.

[KiwiKat]

Who might that be?

I've done (edited 7500k) and probably got another 5000km left in the tyres at the rate they are wearing. No roughness at all. I think maybe a change as soon as the budget allows to some Z6's might do the job.

[86GSXR]

I'll volunteer to try out the tyre KK :yes:

What a day. Just got home after thinking it would be all over in 2 hours. Must be a record even for us.

The Apiti Loop had proceeded swimingly until shortly before Kimbolton when following Dog's on the blue beast I noticed his rear looked a little strange.

Shortly after, the beast ground to a halt with a rather large flat spot. Luckily there was a house very convieniently placed and the occupants very biker friendly (can't have been the mad lady with the hotline lol).

Bike stashed in the shed and a quick pillion brief to Dog's and we were off.

104 kg makes a Tiger handle slightly differently but was having a jolly old time. Hit the twisties up toward Kimbloton when I hear some strange 'wind noise'.

Turned out to be Dog's screaming :lol: Stopped at Kimbolton and explained that it's normal to lean if one doesn't want to end up down the bank :eek:

He settled down after that and we had a nice but breezy run into Feilding for coffee.

Picked up the Terrano and Meanies trailer and hit the loop again. Stopped at the Umutoi MC HQ for another Daytona and tie downs.

Here we were treated to the 2nd most funny thing of the day as Cowboyz pulled a lovely 12 oclocker which turned into 3 pm - on the scooter! :scooter::clap:

Onward to the next Daytona, lashed er down and back to Ashhurst for emergency surgery.

Great day out guys, total classic :wari:

[cowboyz]

I've done 5000k and probably got another 5000km left in the tyres at the rate they are wearing. No roughness at all. I think maybe a change as soon as the budget allows to some M6's might do the job.

5000k left? You hold the camera and give me the keys and we could cut that down by a tad.
You could try reducing tyre pressure gradually till you get a feel for what is better. I run pirellis at 36-38 but michellins at 40-42. Havent run any dunlops. The lower the pressure the more grip you will have availiable (laymans theroy here for all those who want to jump in with why a bike wont corner with 2psi in the tyre) but the quicker the tyre will wear out.

[86GSXR]

This is what happens if the pressures too low.......

[cowboyz]

good thing you didnt get the photo of when the hammer came out........

[86GSXR]

Yes, or the one of the rim dropping onto the concrete. Man, I couldn't believe how much it bounced from side to side.........

[KiwiKat]

Yes, or the one of the rim dropping onto the concrete. Man, I couldn't believe how much it bounced from side to side......... Obviously bouncing in sympathy to Dogs on the back of the little Triumph.

Speaking of which a link for the boys http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=86458

[86GSXR]

The hammer and bounce thing never happened, the tyre came off quite well actually. Interesting to hear that Michellin's are very easy to change in relation to some others.

I would recommend a set of Pilot Road 2's for the Kat.

[Elysium]

Hard to see some of those photos. Is the left bike surposed to have a bulge in the rear wheel?

[cowboyz]

IMO the PR2's are the best all rounder for medium to heavy bikes doing moderate rides. Not sure about the really big bikes tho?

never a truer word spoken

yes, i doubt i'll get the same mileage on the bird as I did on the RF

[NZsarge]

yes, i doubt i'll get the same mileage on the bird as I did on the RF

It'll be difficult to make a decent comparison now that two up is'nt really on the cards but i'll will be interesting to see for sure, one would say it would be natural that you would'nt get the same milage.
Big difference in horsepower over the RF.
Anyone willing to take a guess, I reckon over 6500km but definitely gone before 8000km.

[86GSXR]

Depends on riding style too of course. Sensible speeds and no hard cornering, yep bout 8000.

Alright I GET THE MESSAGE. Pilot Road 2's - I have read the reviews. Thanks guys. Now to reorganise the priority list.

Friday Night - Ride with Matt. (Racey, screaming, borrowed naked 250 cbr)

Met Matt at my house after Tea. We went and explored some awesome riding roads with neat views. Onepuhi / Porewa Road, Leedstown Road, Mt. Curl Road (Hunterville to Marton) which turned into shingle uphill into the sun with quite a bit of wind so we turned around and came back through Tokorangi and Makino Road. I must try Mt Curl Road from Marton end one day soon.

The eyes take a bit of adjusting to the long dusk. A good opportunity to try out the Katana headlights on bends etc. but still not quite dark enough. More night rides req. over the next few weeks.

The Katana back wheel was all over the place and slid on a couple of surface changes, bridge entry etc. I know it has a slow leak (must work out where I put my tyre gauge).

[banditrider]

Alright I GET THE MESSAGE. Pilot Road 2's - I have read the reviews. Thanks guys. Now to reorganise the priority list.


Personally, I think a Metzler Z6 would suit your bike and riding style well - should give good mileage too.

[cowboyz]

Depends on riding style too of course. Sensible speeds and no hard cornering, yep bout 8000.
you have seen yod ride huh?


Yep got them, but spent more time trying to break the bead (my design flaw). First time doing it, so I figure next time will be shitload's easier!:yes:
I got a good bead breaker here that is nice and small and portable. You can borrow it anytime.

Cheers cowboyz!

I just didn't realise how much pressure was required to break the bead. I don't have wooden studs in my shed, so I mounted my device to the workbench. I was able to lift the bench with about 40kg + Tracy sitting on it. Stubborn fucken tyre I reckon!:laugh:

I speak no english.....


Cheers cowboyz!

I just didn't realise how much pressure was required to break the bead. I don't have wooden studs in my shed, so I mounted my device to the workbench. I was able to lift the bench with about 40kg + Tracy sitting on it. Stubborn fucken tyre I reckon!:laugh:

Some are just like that. I built a bead breaker and broke it trying to get a tyre off and then went, fuck it and brought a proper one. Makes it a shitload easier with the proper gear.

[yod]

you have seen yod ride huh?


yep, sensible and gentle, thats how i roll

[cowboyz]

Go white boy!

[Monie]

you could sneak out while monie is packing.............

him sneak out i will hear him i am not deaf lol


Well since you lazy buggers arn't going I'll have to ride by myself!


i today road into town on my push bike :banana:

[QUOTE=86GSXR;1872616]I'll volunteer to try out the tyre KK :yes:


What a day. Just got home after thinking it would be all over in 2 hours. Must be a record even for us.

The Apiti Loop had proceeded swimingly until shortly before Kimbolton when following Dog's on the blue beast I noticed his rear looked a little strange.

Shortly after, the beast ground to a halt with a rather large flat spot. Luckily there was a house very convieniently placed and the occupants very biker friendly (can't have been the mad lady with the hotline lol).

Bike stashed in the shed and a quick pillion brief to Dog's and we were off.

104 kg makes a Tiger handle slightly differently but was having a jolly old time. Hit the twisties up toward Kimbloton when I hear some strange 'wind noise'.

Turned out to be Dog's screaming :lol: Stopped at Kimbolton and explained that it's normal to lean if one doesn't want to end up down the bank :eek:


cry baby that would of been funny to see

Here we were treated to the 2nd most funny thing of the day as Cowboyz pulled a lovely 12 oclocker which turned into 3 pm - on the scooter! :scooter::clap:

Onward to the next Daytona, lashed er down and back to Ashhurst for emergency surgery.

Great day out guys, total classic :wari:


Of course she does.... Chicks dig tyres.............

we just say that to shut you lot up ;)

[oscarnz]

So who is riding tomorrow night?? I am getting withdrawals, stuff this being back at work caper!!!

[ezirider]

Did someone mention power? I think there's a V-Max rollin' round these parts somewhere's...

Thought I'd introduce myself.. no, I don't own the VMax but the lady who does comes into the pub that I drink at (Rex's, Fairs Rd). It's brand spanking new and I'm pretty sure she said the first 09 in the country. She's only little and the bike is a bloody monster alright!

I ride a new (08) SV1000SK7, black with black Neptune cans. Had it just over a month now and loving it. Might have to catch up with you guys one day and tag along for a ride somewhere.

Cheers.

[KiwiKat]

Nice to hear from you ezirider. Enjoy the summer rides on your new toy.

[86GSXR]

Welcome :yes: Yep, the Vmax will appear on a FNR quite shortly I'd say, looking forward to seeing it. Ashhurst Mobil 6 pm every Friday during daylight saving, will be good to see you there :yes:

[NZsarge]

Yeah considering the weather looks as if it may pack up a bit in the weekend maybe an appearance on the FNR is in order.

Welcome dude, keep your eyes peeled on the "Manawatu friday night rides" and the "Manawatu weekend rides" forums and come long when you can.

[NZsarge]

Just made some changes to the suspension on the 14, will ride to Palmerstown
to check out said changes, will hopefully be at Cafe Cuba @ 4:30 - 4:45 for a beverage if anyone wants to join me.

Will bump this post before I head out.

I might just do that Sarge! I'm thinking about doing that River Rd again this afternoon.

I've been down to Freedom this morning to check out a VL250 for Tracy. Brought home some brochure's and she seems keen. I think I'm more excited than her!:laugh:

Speaking of suspension changes, are there many people on here that are clued up on this in the palmy area? I've done nothing with mine other than check it's all on factory settings and I'd like to do at least the preload/sag setup for my body weight and maybe more needs tweaking.
I wouldn't exactly call myself an advanced/fast rider so don't want to fiddle too much but would just like to make sure things are 'right'.
It feels a little firm. Just one of those things on my 'to do list'!

Don't look at me either, I just fiddle bit by bit until I think i've come to an acceptable compromise, usually takes me months to get there too.

Right I'm off over the Track and on to River Rd!:wavey:

Welcome to KB

My partner Pauly will be able to give you some guidance (he use to work in parts at Phil Turnballs), he has done mine and we are off to do a SV350 race bike tonight as well.

[phantom]

Well I am fucked for the FNRs for a while. Managed to break my right foot riding a dirtbike of varied parentage into my brother in laws gold claim near Greymouth over Christmas. Mind you who needs to use the back brake anyway? I would just need someone to lift me on at the start and get me off at the end as I wouldnt be able to take the crutches:no:

[banditrider]

So who is riding tomorrow night?? I am getting withdrawals, stuff this being back at work caper!!!

Heading to Auckland tomorrow night if anyone's keen...

Going up to checkout some bits and pieces for mounting the GPS etc...and it's an excuse for a ride...

Fraking tell me about it! Tremain Ave yesterday was like a river of tar. I've got to get some riding done as I need to rough up my new tyre so I might be there tonight, but might have it take it easy on this new tyre.

[NZsarge]

might have it take it easy on this new tyre.

I don't think today would be good to have a fang up anyway, gonna be the same today as per yesterday.. Hot = wet tar.

Yeah I think a cold beer feels more inviting at the moment.

True, especially when you spend time in gear in this weather. Wanna do this at a later time when it's cooler or normal time?

[cowboyz]

well I am back home. Enjoyed the pootle tonight. started making shit up as we were going along and found some nice roads. Murphys were happy to see us in fielding. I think they have been missing us!

Mmm might have to find some more roads like that

[Elysium]

Just waiting for Sarge to tell us about his close encounter with the rear end of Cowboyz before we leaved. :laugh:

Highlight of the night was getting attacked by a wasp that flew into my open helmet as we were leaving Ashurst, had to quickly find a place to pull over and get the fucker out as it was crawling on my right eye, dam thing stung me as I got the helmet of so I have a small swelling patch under my right eye. Must not like Honda.

Just back (couple of hours ago) from my Friday night ride and can confirm that the Manawatu is not the only place with melting tar problems. Some of the roads we went on were shockers.

Will blog when I get around to it but anyway: 1,073km, 11 hours 25 minutes (riding time only), awesome economy: 18.3km/l and a few roads I haven't been on. Some great riding - even in the rain from Waiouru to Taihape on the way back.

Good to here you're back safe and sound mate, that tar is shocking eh...

Cheers Sarge. It's ridiculous how bad some of the roads are - they should be able to make roads that don't melt on the first warm day...

Be interesting to see what Yod & Meanie have to say about the South Island roads - I know they have the same problems in some places but generally the roads down there are in much better nick than up here.

Personally I think that we must use crappy tar with a low melting point - probably easier & cheaper to use but how many accidents does it cause. It was a bit of a worry in places yesterday: we could live with the buggered tar but some of the fine metal/sand in places was hard to spot. And then it bucketted down in places and you're riding on oil...

[NZsarge]

Oh yeah, throw water on wet tar, yay... NOT!

good spotting, a Rocket III indeed....

on the same crossing there were two guys who were delivering an '07 Electra Glide Ultra Classic and an '05 (I think?) Electra Glide (plain version) from somewhere like Hamilton to Chch, and then they had to pick up a couple of others and bring them back! life's hard.....

Mangone road isnt gravel, that is the road that we took when we did the toy ride. That was the road I was going to take us on last week until I got pissed off with the traffic in front of us.

Sounds like a mint ride for Friday night.

Just for something completely off topic.:D

Has anyone noticed the official L plate is actually illegal?:rofl:

I noticed this today as I was trying to work out how and where to mount Tracy’s L plate. I’ve decide it will be easier to make one that fits!:angry:

[cowboyz]

why is it illegal?

[Owl]

why is it illegal?

The L is too short at 90mm and must be at least 100mm long! Perhaps I'm just a pedantic prick?:whistle:

LOL you are just being pedantic I think.

Pretty bad that they can't manufacture something to their own specifications though!:laugh:
What we've been supplied with will never mount in a million fucking years. so I'm going to make one out of panel steel, paint etc!:yes:

[manwithav8]

Fair enough.

Might try and get out there..... I have a flash fence to build to keep the dog in so the weekend might be a little tight but will see..

Yeah it's been too long.. People have new bikes and I never knew about it...

I can't ride too fair cos I have a wobbly and a vibration, we can all blame cowboyz for forgetting to check the front wheel for balance... The worn shock bushes are a different story though....So Monday may be out for me. I need to sort my crap out and get the bike sorted.

OK some of the girls can't but extra money and time off in lieu is a very good reason :2thumbs up:

Post this in the Monday morning rides thread, I'm sure there must be one somewhere :niceone:

Probably one somewhere in the ether but my maze exploring is a little rusty!! Having to look at a map rather than the tail end of a stripy beast in the distance:confused:

Maybe I should start one :wacko:
Manawatu monday rides has quite a nice ring to it but not sure it will take off if Lee can't work out Friday night rides are on a friday!!! :msn-wink:
