Lazy Sunday Arvo Ride...Sort Of...

[R6chick]

Hey, I just got back from my Sunday arvo ride, I changed my suspension settings and its handling A LOT better (not trying to buck me off anymore) :shit:
I took sum pix along the way.....:woohoo:
Pretty boring but thought maybe someone might wanna have a look at some Sunny Marlborough scenery (and a certain R6).....:laugh:

Yup it was good weather when I went out but it had been raining earlier :eek:

[R6chick]

Um just some random roads out behind a little place called Seddon. (i think one of them was called Seaview Road) didn't really take much notice as was trying to dodge pot holes and gravel patches on the road. :msn-wink:

Cool, theres some great roads out that way, the hill before Seddon is a lot of fun when theres no traffic on it, although theres not many tight twisty roads that aren't gravel there. :headbang:

Yup, when there is no traffic its mint, but 99.5% of the time u run in to some one who can't turn corners more than 30km/h and i wouldn't pass them on that hill either....

Would be nice to see the shots of the leather clad beauty :whistle: draped over such a machine :blip:

Born in Blenheim, there till I was 9, Kaikoura for a year, then The Marlbrough sounds for 10years. My Mum used to have a Kawasaki EN500 cruiser that she sold recently. :(
Been out seeing the rest of New Zealand for the past few years now, but Marlbrough is still home, was down there over xmas/new years for 6 weeks. :niceone:

I just changed the suspension compression/rebound damping and spring preload on front forks and rear suspension. (it helped that i have a service manual cauz it tells you what the standard settings should be and how to change them)
