Thanks for the thought Wickle. Voltaire is all set to ride it back from Dunedin in a week or 5 when he goes down for business. Kiwi GS is going to ride it from Balclutha and give it a full service new head stock bearings, wheel bearings, swing arm, re-kit the Master cylinders and calipers and new brake pads. He's a saint;)

If I can get all the missing bits I'd like to return her to original but the fairing looks to be rare as. Dapole is helping with supply of the two large side covers and I'm looking at the little ones under the seat on fleabay. Trying to get a shipping price. If I can't get a fairing I have a back up plan for a Guzzi Le Mans fairing. Might look quite good.

Didn't get the scales right in the picture. Fairing is smaller than that.

Thanks Dieseldick. Have sent message asking for shipping cost, will see what he comes back with. Its going to be a big box :( but ya never know Cheers

Figured out why it didn't show in my searches. I used GS 1150 with a space rather than GS1150. Lots more without the space and all the other hits as well.

Psy, I meant that the seller must be psychic as he has just made the cowling available worldwide. It happened just after I suggested to Croc that he send him an email asking if he would sell worldwide.

I see on the other site, you've all but sorted the 850's charging woes. Well done.

Yeah Croc, I play around the gaps all the time. GS1150Suzuki at present shows nothing as did GS 1150. I usually find most on GS1150 Suzuki, currently over 100 items, including some of the other panels you need. The results vary from day to day, so keep trying the lot.

this is going to be difficult to believe, but when i said you may be pleasantly surprised with the shipping cost i was going to suggest that it would cost $45 or so! but then i refrained from "guessing" and wrote to check the usps site.

i guess i've dealt with those blood suckers :oi-grr: so much by now that i know their rates off the top of my head :2thumbsup

[flyingcrocodile46]

Hey there all our wider BFTP members.

We is trying to sort out our plans for the protest ride (from accommodation side) We have a couple of ideas on the table but need to act fast or our options will close off.

It would be great if we could take advantage of this opportunity to get as many of our far flung members together as possible. Best way of making that work is to have common accommodation.

In order to act now to secure accommodation we need to know how many are coming.:Pokey: Please post your intentions here (maybe someone will do an event calender entry)

Voltaire has made the suggestion that we could have our BFTP logo added to the black protest shirts that are on offer ( http://www.quasimoto.co.nz/products/acc-protest-t-shirts ) Bloody good idea.

If you guys buy the shirts and get them to me by the 6th November I can get the logo's put on (will have to double check $) for about $15 each.

Yeah mate. Lovely bike

Well! we made it to Pukekohe for the classic races (and post classic) Saw a bunch of beautiful bikes (see pics), then made our way from the carpark to the pits for a look at the noisy racers. Cool experience to be able to walk amongst them an oggle them up close.

[flyingcrocodile46]

Right! I have done (and sent off) an appropriate letter using some of the stuff on the main KB ACC thread.

Have pasted a copy below in case any others would like to utilise it themselves. Please do so. It makes a difference




Dear MP,

I have attempted to keep this letter as short and to the point as possible. Please read all of it.

As I understand, it is your duty as a member of Parliament to represent the interests of those in your area and voice them to parliament - as such I am writing to urge you to make clear my voice, and the voice of those around me.

The proposed ACC Levy increase is based on highly questionable (read fraudulently represented) statistics re historical ACC claims for motorcyclists. The claim figures touted include claims relating to off road motorcycles involved in Motocross racing when they are not even registered road users (we are talking tens of thousands off road motorcycles). It is no more appropriate to levy the registrations of road legal motorcycles for claims relating to off road motorcycles than it is to to levy fishermen for claims relating to mountain climbing.

Additionally the proposed method of levy collection is inherently inequitable for the purpose when it is considered that the ACC compensation claims and payouts are are not made for damage to the motorcycle itself, but are made in relation to injuries sustained by the individual riders. Any levy proposed to target a group which represent a higher risk, should be charged on an individual basis. Not on the basis of size or number of motorcycles owned. Are you aware that as an owner of several post classic motorcycles (which I only ride one at a time for an approximate total of 5000km per year) I am expected to pay several times more in ACC levy than and individual who only owns one motorcycle but whom rides 20000km per year. That is I would have to pay $5,250.00 pa for my 5000km ($1.05 per km) as opposed to $750 for 20000km ($0.04 per km) for the individual who theoretically is 4 times more likely to make an ACC claim. Unfortunately I can only ride one motorcycle at a time. Why aren't we imposing a levy on chainsaws and other highly dangerous equipment that are associated with high ACC payouts?.


In ACC's Injury Statistics 2008 report http://tr.im/BV1k , ACC details claims against the Motor Vehicles account - the virtual pool that gets claimed upon whenever a road-registered vehicle is involved in an accident. The report gives statistics for the number of new claims, the number of active claims and the cost of those claims. As the report breaks down the claims by vehicle type, it's easy to compare the cost of claims... as follows;

Cyclists:
- 567 active claims
- $12,573,000
- $22,174 per claim... (Note these individuals are not paying a registered vehicle levy yet they use the road and create the risk situations that result in the claims that cost more than motorcyclists) How many are run over by cars rather than motorcycles?? I hazard a guess that it's 90% or more

Pedestrians:
- 1115 active claims
- $24,494,000
- $21,967 per claim... (Note these individuals are not paying a registered vehicle levy. How many are run over by cars rather than motorcycles?? I hazard a guess that it's 90% or more )

Car Occupants:
- 8525 active claims
- $208,305,000
- $24,434 per claim

Motorcyclists:
- 3173 active claims
- $62,523,000
- $19,704 per claim...... (the least amount)


I trust that after reading this email (and others no doubt) that you will have an awareness of the inequity of the proposed registration increases and will take appropriate action to ensure that a fairer approach is taken to ACC's mismanagement of it's allocated funds rather than one that simply passes on the bill to an individual group of taxpayers.

Needless to say, future votes are to be won or lost on this issue.

Regards

a concerned voter

We are planing a Dunners xmas this year, the plan is too have a decent holiday up north later in the year.

[Dodgyiti]

Cool pics, thanks Wickle:2thumbsup

psy- do you like the exhaust end cut of the blue 850?
I think it looks cool, hang on, lemme get my hacksaw... :shit:

[KiwiGs]

Yep :cry: :doh:

[flyingcrocodile46]

Whatchu talking about.. Sheep shagging motorcycles?

[KiwiGs]

Whatchu talking about.. Sheep shagging motorcycles?

The day after I met Dieseldick I went for a ride down to Palmy north and met up with a mate on a GSX1200. We were heading back to the 'Bay on the back roads.
Not far from Porangahu I came around a slow down hill corner and met a sheep head on. :shit:
The GSX1200 was riding point and must have spooked it.
Long story short, I had to ride back to Hastings with a broken and dislocated shoulder, torn ligament in my knee and a few cuts and bruises. :weep:
Once in Hastings I went straight to the Em doctors who misdiagnosed my shoulder as a "bump" and I spent 20 hours with my shoulder out of joint.:(
After a few years one shoulder reconstruction and one knee reconstruction I am good as gold.:woohoo:
The CBR was sold to a guy in Timaru I think.

Oh noes! That would have been a funny story but for the damage to you and your bike.

[KiwiGs]

Everybody else seemd to think it was a great joke thats for sure.
The favourite jokes were sticking bits of wool to my bike, sticking wool to the visor on my helmet and baa'ing when I headed to the bike park.
Good times....:argh:

[flyingcrocodile46]

Ok! I'll laugh at that :rofl:

[caseye]

LOL sorry KiwiGs but knowing that the pain has gone and the bones are right, it is a little bit funny.Not many can say they've head onned a sheep and walked away unscathed/shorn@#$$% so to speak.Shame on EWE Diesel Dick for remiding poor ol Kiwiw about his unfortunate triest with that sheep.

[psyguy]

psy- do you like the exhaust end cut of the blue 850?
I think it looks cool, hang on, lemme get my hacksaw... :shit:

that's actually the same pipe as what i've got.

but you can take the hacksaw out as i want to cut the pipe end square.
and get the silencer to come up on an angle just as in the pic.
so, don't put that welder away just yet :whistle:

[wickle]

great to see you guys having fun! it was a beautiful day up here, too. kinda unusual for a bftp ride :shutup:
Yea beautful day ,, (question) do u penilise a rider who when u start from a Petrol Station and towards the end of the ride causes a detour cause has only about a teespoon of fuel left,bike has 20 litre plus tank

[KiwiGs]

Answer: depends where the detour takes you.......

Other answer. Oh yeah! Jug! at the next BFTP National rally.
Make a note of it Wickle.

no penalty as such :sweatdrop
but it surely doesn't get forgoten too easily, i.e. it keeps poping up in conversations whenever there is a chance ;)

my "warm drink sipper bottle situation" was on the agenda for a while as was me taking a wrong turn here and there when leading a ride :yawn:

Yes I know it's the same- hence the option to replicate, I like the slash angle at the end, 5 mins with the hacksaw. Welder is still out, have some finishing on the stainless rack for the BMW.
Another while you wait, and I blind you with the arc flash job again?
I should have made you wait a few days for the seat base, you are getting too used to this fast turnaround engineering.

I thought you were piecing together a 4 into 2 system? Seems pointless to muck around with the existing one if it is only a stop gap measure... stop dicking around and go buy a full system on E-Bay, I dare you! Or you could rob the exhaust off the parts bike croc hasn't even bought yet:laugh:

[psyguy]

Yes I know it's the same- hence the option to replicate, I like the slash angle at the end, 5 mins with the hacksaw.

lol, i said i alredy have the slash cut end! but you can cut it square if you like your hacksaw THAT much :whistle:

happy to be blinded any time, just say when :woohoo:

[fridayflash]

ok i 'might' know the culprit who ran low on fuel...but as far as i know
it was a purely scientific experiment to see how far said machine could go
on a half tank:whistle:
i think the brisk pace 'twoup' over te onepu road may have contributed to
such low mpg statistics recorded on the day;) hehe
bloody grouse ride tho...wickle has some video footage which i saw this
arvo and its pretty good...just need to figure out how to load it?:wacko:

[flyingcrocodile46]

Have you got the video footage on your PC? What is the file format.. Quicktime?

If quicktime, it can be uploaded direct to Youtube and photobucket.
If the files are much over 40 meg it would be best to use Youtube as photobucket shits itself during uploads

[Dodgyiti]

[QUOTE=psyguy;1129481875]lol, i said i alredy have the slash cut end! QUOTE]

It's not slash cut cool enough:pinch: it's cut on an angle, not on a curved angle. There is a difference, the curved angle highlights the end point and makes it sharp and dagger-like. :slap:
Bring it over Wed or Thursday after 3pm and we can make up that rigid rear end, I mean exhaust welding:wacko:

Ok! can you watch it on your computer? If so, most file types that can be viewed on your PC will likely be up-loadable to Youtube or photobucket

Do you have a Youtube or photobucket page. If not you could have a go at registering for one then uploading to it. If that doesn't seem do-able just stick with plan A and I will sort it.:yes:

[wickle]

Have burnt couple of short ones to a disc, Now the one FF saw this a/noon is 757mb can I shinrk(f7) this to fit on a 700mb disc or what?

[flyingcrocodile46]

Not without using some form of editing software as far as I know.

You can't write them to a DVD (much bigger capacity)?

Or if you have a spare memory card you could save it to?

[psyguy]

i'm buying lunch at raglan!

cant make it tomorrow :crybaby: but should be able to make it on thursday, by 5pm if that's ok?


4-2 would cost me $1200 using the silencers that i have or $1500 new whereas i can have the existing one re-coated for $350, so this one is likely to be more than a temporary measure.
i mean, after 3 years of dreaming of getting the 4-2 i think i'm coming back to reality :bash:

[flyingcrocodile46]

In less than 15 minutes you could own two sets.. one 4 to 2 and a 4 to 1.... for a paltry $24

Caseye, the spooky part about this story was I offered KiwiGS a ride on the 850 while he was visiting, but he politely replied no, because he was getting a ride the following day on his brothers bike. So, we just had a couple more beers and my bikes stayed in the shed.
Now Ewes guys know what people mean by sheep shaggers!!!:rolleyes:

Dodgy, I thought you were going to operate on my pipe, with that hacksaw.:no:

It's only angle cut that way because I had to operate on the baffle.
The previous winter, I started the engine, just after an oil change. A real loud knocking sound erupted, so I shut it down pronto.:sweatdrop
Didn't have time to check the oil pressure light, so I was packing it. Rechecked the "CASEYE" and found plenty of oil. Re-started it and let it idle, to have the knock disappear after expansion took over.
While the baffle was out, I relieved some resistance, aligned the slash to it's present angle and put a plug weld up front. No more rattles and sounds just right.:done:

Many folks don't rate the Cycleworks slash pipe. It's only because they don't appreciate the versatility and potential of the basic design.:yawn:

a bit dated or non 'oem' in appearance for some, but nice and light and

I like the cycle works "slash" pipes myself.
The GS had one on it when I got it but it was poked, so I made a stainless steel replica. I liked the look and sound.
Then I found an old cycle works canister and it sounds even better.....

IMO, chromed 4-2 OEM/replica pipes bring far to much bling, to an everyday, road machine. Just my opinion.

Yeah it makes enough of a racket now. Baffle was totally choked in, plus there has been a lot of previous "welding" been done and I suspect the heat from that has distorted the cylinder shape and locked in the baffle.
Glad psyguy's pretty handy with a hacksaw, after making the rear rack for the BMW this week, I was totally over hacksawing.

Jase: Dammit, it clashes with the Faglan With A Twist run, otherwise I would really want a go, a go on John's chair that is:weep: Was supposed to have a go last year but was still coming back from my SI trip. Awwwww:weep:

Dodgy,I had to be brutal with mine to get the baffle assy out. After cutting the cylinder from the cone, you have to undo a small cap screw under the slash cut area and then drive the baffle out through the slash opening. The cylinder is slightly oval, so it takes a bit of force. Before re-assembly, I drilled a 6 mm hole in the underside of the cylinder up near the cone, so I could plug weld it to the baffle after re-alignment and welding the cylinder back onto the cone. It's a bit noisier now, but not toooo much.:Police:

not sure about the ducati compatability on the starter motor although
its quite possible, i think non return bearing sprag type is how you'd
describe this starter clutch...thinking it could be compaitble with other
suzuki models....maybe gsx250 etc but as yet have been unable to
find a match

Don't just limit your search to Suzukis mate.
i did a bit of hunting around when mine shat itself awhile back.
The stater clutch is an independently manufactured part.
I have a clutch from a smaller GS, which is the same as one used some Kwakas, on my 1000. It is physically smaller than the OEM one,but the PCD and the centre diameter are the same. It works perfectly. Not sure about the gear though.

[StatusQuo]

Sunday was a great day thanks guys. Great roads and good tucker at the cafe. Bloke coming the other way on the crusier who failed to make the corner was a lucky boy. Got ya message psy - no worries bit of stuff up just tired and not thinking. GS is running well now - carb jetting is in the ballpark now. "Quo.

[flyingcrocodile46]

It is real good to hear that you finally have your carbs sorted. That must have been some kind of record :laugh:

[Dodgyiti]

Good to see you again Quo. When you ride with us the bike behaves, glad to hear it continued to do so after the ride this time. New exhaust looks, and after following you a wee ways, sounds lovely:love:

[caseye]

Soooooooooo I take it no One wishes to enjoy my company and help support the Hammytron special school, or go for a long mystery pootle with the Waikato Laxed Out Riders on Sunday morning, as per my post on the Short Notice Rides thread on Wednesday? As if thats short notice.???

[Dieseldick]

Caseye, I've coerced some of your Dorkland mates into doing a Training Day at Hampton Downs tomorrow. HB Ulysses had some spare tickets, which Croc has offered locally. You might have some tired boys on Sunday, or they may just decide to go to church instead.:sweatdrop

Yeah! that's it Caseye, Blame Dieseldick

Sorry mate but I am being Mr selfish Saturday and Sunday next week through to Wednesday night, so no can do. :no:

[caseye]

That was great Dieseldick....I'm Dorked out....had to jump in the Pajero and shoot up Ponsonby for a Latte.
Valdez was pretty slick on the Guzzi... Gina spooffed his trousers.:shutup:

[Dodgyiti]

2 ali washers on one rockercover is all that is stopping her from holding her juices. Mind you, I have never ever pushed Gina as hard as I did today. Redline? Past redline by 1000rpm. If that motor was ever going to handgrenade, it would have been today. Voli bringing the van allowed me to push further than the original manufacturer's limits and still get me bike home. Transporters, there's more than meets the eye:love:
If you can't break it, then it is fixed (Chapter #2, Drag Racer's Bible). And it is running as crisp as when I left home in the morning. Probably took 10,000kms life off her in less than 50kms, but what the heck, it was fun and everything is rebuildable.

[Dieseldick]

Glade everyone from BFTP had some fun today, with no one dropping their bike.:ride:
What a great track eh? Looking forward to watching the superbikes, as they'll find it challenging too. Best track I've driven/ridden, period.

As a training day, I would highly recommend it.

[Max Headroom]

Yep, yesterday was definitely a day to remember, for all the right reasons. We all got an opportunity to "stretch the throttle cables" and have some fun without the worry of hidden cameras, radar, opposing traffic or campervans.

I wanna build another bike for track days now . . . . more power, more power!

Heh! I'm with you on that one. I think Baz won't be returning to stock after all.:shifty:

Thanks Dieseldick. I had a awesome time and am keen to do it again.

Or you could buy an 80's GSX for $1000 and just change the oil:laugh:

Croc, the Post Classic Series is what BFTP members should be considering. From membery, there are 3 classes. Your Bazz and his bros are excluded though. You would have needed to remove a spark plug lead to make the rest competitive in the top class.

Huh! :gob:

Whatchu talking about 'Baz and bros excluded'... :crybaby: Why? I thought they raced GSX's. :angry2:

I am keen on doing the CSBS to learn how to ride better, safer, faster. Not so sure that I actually want to enter races... particularly if the baskets won't let Baz play. :sick:

Ive got a RGV250 for sale , eligable for Pre89 and Formula3 , $2000ono,
surplus to reqierments and need to fund new crank for my LC

Pre 89 has big feilds, Be good to get more pre82s and we (PMCC) can have have separate pre89 and pre82 races

18" wheels Rule:woohoo:

[flyingcrocodile46]

Hang on.

NEW RULES POST CLASSICS 2008
(C) Pre 89 which will consist of racing machines manufactured after the closing date of the period
1982 class and before December 31st 1989.

(e) Pre 82 specifically excludes the following: Honda VF750F interceptor, Yamaha RZ (all models) Suzuki GSX 1135, GSXR all models GPZ 900 all models Yamaha FJ 1100. Ducati F1 all models Suzuki RG 250, 400, 500 Gamma road bikes....

Baz is an 84 anyway so he should be allowed in the pre 89 class... shouldn't he?? Gad is an 85 GS1100G 8 valve jobby.. I'm guessing that he's also banned from the pre 82 based on year of manufacture.

Gidday Jace. Yeah, it's the pre '82s that Crocs GSX1100 is banned from. But I got him going eh!!:gob:

[Dodgyiti]

Thanks for the info Jase,

Do they bundle the pre-89 with the pre-82? Or do they get their own seperate races?

croc- how are you going to get the purchase of race stands, trailer/van, tire warmers and a 1 piece suit, tires, MCNZ Licence, back protector etc etc past SWMBO? :eek5:
(Just curious)

[flyingcrocodile46]

believe it or not, she is supportive of me having a play on the track. Perhaps she's working on the assumption that if I play on the track I won't on the road?

Hey Wickle. I just did your avatar to the boys computer... piece of sh#t. I have being constantly plagued by problems with their computers. Friggin thing has had all its components replaced twice now over the last year and a half to keep it going, but now won't recognise its hard drive. F#cker has a massive dent in the top now and is going to hit the bin. I'm sick of their computer. I dunno what it is they do to it, but I'm forever having to fix software and hardware faults.

The pisser is that they HAVE TO HAVE ONE FOR THEIR SCHOOL WORK. What's wrong with good old fashioned pens and paper. they way we are going, they will stop teaching hand writing altogether.

Pre 89 and 82 together at the moment (The TRRS on 27/28 dec has them separate, That why I am taking LC and TZR)

If there are the numbers for pre82 I am pushing for separate classes(for PMCC rounds). I built my LC out of all my scruffy parts. There must be enough pre 82 GPZ550's ,XJ550's ,GS550's(yes I,m talking to you wickle :yes:) and parts to get more bikes on the track. Junior is the cheaper option to race in, The senior bikes carbs are worth more than my whole bike lol
My bike is stock apart from jetting, getting the mesh out of the pipes and smaller baffles and getting rid of all the road gear(30kg lighter) A pair of Pirelli Sport Demon's and some homemade preload adjusters and 10cc more fork oil.I have clipons and rearsets now (got sick of trashing toe sliders) and cut 40mm out of my seat foam, still mucking around with the seat and will upholster it when its right
2nd hand (mint condition with good armour)leathers cost $400

You dont need tyre warmers lol , thats what the sun is for mate, you just got to move the bike around between races :wari:

time plus money can prove to be a problem :yes:

I can see my work bench now and got TZR parts all sorted(ish) a few parts to buy, but not to much, The LC is next on the list

Im fixing to carbs and a fuel leak on a SRX400 so it needs a wee ride, best I do that for a hour or so:scooter:

[wickle]

Just got back from taking the gs1000 for a test ride(80km) so cool, couple minor things to do new shocks for a start, save up for some new tyres good tread on the current ones but real hard riding..oh and finish putting bits back on.

Wow! Wickles, you got a gem there mate. Original pipes an all.
Won't take much spit and polish to shave 20 years off her. Actually that's not true cause she already looks well less than half her age

Lets see....:sherlock: a couple of years ago I took my Kombi from Napier to Taihape....that was a 'fun' road.
I can't see you can meet up that easily Caseye, The 'main group' are decending on Palmy so it could get VERY busy.
A post this morning suggests 6000 bikes riding thru the gorge on the 17th.

We however will be sipping Lattes on Lampton Quay.....admiring Baz.

[flyingcrocodile46]

Ok. Tell us who. If it's Wickle, it doesn't count and you will have to go buy a zook to redeem yourself.

[flyingcrocodile46]

Ok. Who's going down to Wellington for the Protest rally/riot?

Wickle heading down Tuesday morning return that nite

[flyingcrocodile46]

Ven and I will be heading up to Palmy early Tues morning to meet up with some others and escort the riot into town!! :angry:

Will have a think about doing that. On one level it sounds good. On another level so does a prime grandstand seat at the local cafe. If we pick the right one, maybe we can kidnap an MP and promise to release him if they don't drop this levy nonsense


Wickle heading down Tuesday morning return that nite
Would be nice to meet up if it isn't gonna eat up too much of your time. Give us a call when you are at a nearby stop so we can plot and scheme

[caseye]

For all those leaving Auckland on Monday in the am, if you can make it to my place in Manurewa, we'll ride from there.(PM me for address details)
I'd rther ride with our guys thanthe main bunch though to tag along either behind or in front wouldn't hurt.
I reckon a 9am start time would be appropriate.


Further, if we can meet up with the guys from Hamilton at say 10.15 am at the Kingsgate, that would be great.
Murray, what plans do you have? Nothing is set in concrete as yet so changes /different ideas can be accomodated.

Well parking sounds like it's sorted. I'm gonna be a wild goose :laugh:


I note (without condoning any implications) that the stadium parking will be for the organised convoy coming down SH1 and 2.

Molesworth St will still be reserved for bike parking for what the police are calling "wild geese" - riders who arrive independantly. eg riders from the South Island riding in from the Interislander terminal.

Neither the BIKEOI organisers nor BRONZ (nor the police for that matter) have any ability to prevent riders making their own way to parliament by whatever route they choose , and parking in Molesworth St

(Parking within parliament itself was never an option)

[flyingcrocodile46]

:shit: Just been googling street view around Molesworth and Bowen Street. It ain't looking good for coffee shops.:sick: The heathens don't appear to have kept up with our cafe society requirements. We may have to pack our thermoses :shutup:

[Dodgyiti]

blimey Wickle!
You will be in Max's league of bikes and bikes in bits soon. Thanks, you make me feel a lot better about my, ahem, affliction.:sweatdrop

Darn good time to buy up the things you love, not going to be any cheaper than right now either.

[RDjase]

Theres lot of good riding in CHB, the back way to Ormandville off porangahau rd is cool , 40km or more of twistys:woohoo:

[KiwiGs]

Sure is!
Sadly the last time I went for a ride on those back roads a sheep jumped out at me,
I had to ride from between Wimbledon and Porangahau to Hastings, with a dislocated shoulder and no front brakes....

[KiwiGs]

ok I own up but I didnt have one of these.. and how come it does count?
Wickle, do you know what bike those foot peg mounts are off?
Is the triangle bit of the frame where the pegs normally mount cut off?

Murray, what plans do you have? Nothing is set in concrete as yet so changes /different ideas can be accomodated.

I am getting bike back tomorrow, will do some km's over the weekend and its booked in for 8am monday morning to re-torque the head down so should be back at the Hotel 10.15-10.30ish. So would be good to see you then and pootle down from there. I believe some are leaving from Cambridge at 11am. We (3 bikes at this stage) will be staying in Palmie Monday night and a large group of bikes will leaving from there 9.00 am Tuesday morning.

cheers all

[RDjase]

Sure is!
Sadly the last time I went for a ride on those back roads a sheep jumped out at me,
I had to ride from between Wimbledon and Porangahau to Hastings, with a dislocated shoulder and no front brakes....

Buggar, bloody stock
There is usally all sorts of critters on elsthorpe road, Turkeys, puke's, can be bit of a wild life challange.

How long ago did that happen?

[KiwiGs]

It was in the xmas 2007 holidays....

[cmoore]

back in the early 80's i was riding the XS650 along a very long stretch of road heading towards....god knows....lower north island.....and i was seeing how fast it could go....at about 175kmh....two sheep ran across the road and i went straight between both.....missed them by a metre...on either side....i slowed down a bit after that......

[wickle]

Would a set of these with front and rear pegs do it for you?

Interesting about the pegs.
Hehe sorry 'bout the screen probably about as much chance as you selling the dash I guess... worth a crack.....

Nice, that your 1100G? not really looking just interested..
I am drawing some plans for rearsets at the moment.......

[Dadpole]

Well parking sounds like it's sorted. I'm gonna be a wild goose :laugh:

I am tempted to join you. There is handicapped parking and the wife says I am mental so do I qualify? I am tempted to head down early as the thought of heading down the gorge surrounded by all manner of riders is a little daunting.
Have the bike in for a WOF on Saturday, so fingers crossed. Anything I missed?

[flyingcrocodile46]

The spare set are off what used to be my spare parts bike (GS1100G) that came with my GS1100G which has the same brackets. They are/were OEM

Yes it is. i have a spare set. Very cool, you will have to keep us all informed as to how you go about it. :yes:

Yes you are mental (aren't we all).
Yes, I share your reluctance to drown in a river of bikes.
No, you didn't miss anything (providing you are planing to mono your way down) :laugh:

If you guys are still on 10.15 is good for me at the Hotel. Staying in Palmie the night, I believe 1000 bikes heading down from there Tuesday morning!!!

See you Monday

why did you slow down??
i mean, what are the chances of another two sheep wanting to have a go at you that same day?? :blink:

Yep, looks bloody good too,

I havnt seen were this one is yet, The Te Onepu Rd one was a twisty one and the LC went well, Seafeild Rd was long and more of a horsepower course. The TZR and LC will hopefully be going for it

AWESOME

What a great day out.
I really liked Dodgys Guzzi....what a coooool machine.
.....and apparently the rear brake, if I had used it ,works one of the front ones too.....:eek5:
Toaster misbehaved on the long flat bits either side of the Coromandel with a constant missfire....all the way up the friggin' motorway :angry2:
Goes away at less than 80kms.....:bash:
Still on the upside got 50+ MPG.

[flyingcrocodile46]

It was tre`magnifique. I had a great time. Especially the Oysters :drool:

Once we were past the motorway and Hauraki plains it was all beautiful windy roads leading to more windy roads which lead to even more windy roads. For the most part the road conditions were very good and the coast line was amazing. It's almost a pity we were whizzing through it so quick

Man did I get bug splattered :laugh:

[Voltaire]

It's almost a pity we were whizzing through it so quick



The Toaster afforded fine vistas of the passing landscape......but with the Panini the world whizzed by....:wacko:

[caseye]

A truly amazing ride today jenneleman, great to have 9 bikes on the start line so to speak.
Guess we can actually say that the BFTP has conquered the coro loop once and for all.
Note for all adventurers going a long way from home, put in one of those cans of slimey stuff for making tyres round again.
The old coal burner loved those hills and the windy bits, never missed a beat, tyres both now officially scrubbed in and working well.
Bring on Taumaranui.
