Sounds good to me... I don't need to do any maintenance on my bike currently as it's just had a major service of everything. The only things I yet need to do on my bike are 2 new tires and replace the oil in the forks...
But I'll do the cone riding and watch the training on servicing, see if there are any techniques that'll make it easier for next time it's due for an oil change, in about 6000 Kms...

Sounds like a damn good idea to me...

You going to have enough tools ?, or would it be an idea to bring some shit ?


You know how with the cones, we have a easy / medium / hard runs...
can we have a "I've never so much as done an oil change, oil scares me, it's black and slippy, oh and by the way, what the hell is this spanner thing, I just though that was an insult ?" group ?, Cause if so... that's where you'll find me :D

WELL up for this! Couldn't have come at a better time! :)

[3L4NS1R]

Summer hockey all over and done with (finally took the Grade 2 Cup).

Will be there!

[weekendwarrior]

:headbang: Would love to attend this, however Wednesdays aren't good for me for a while, how long do you intend on running these for??

[MarkW]

A reminder to those that attend that tonight's NASS is the basic mechanical evening at Millars Car Centre, 25 Corban Ave, Henderson.

Meet at Shell Westgate as per usual for the ride to Frosty's place.

If you normally just arrive at Albany you may be there all by yourself so come across a little earlier to Shell Westgate.

See post #1001 on this thread for more details.

[3L4NS1R]

saweet. My mates borrowing my bike for his test, so once he's finished I'll be there. Will see you all at Corban Ave, if not Westgate.

[FROSTY]

Hey great night thanks guys n gals--hope ya werent too bored.
BUT I just gotta know.. WHO was sposed to be marking the third turnoff??
I got to turnoff 5 and nobody behind --eeeep

[EatOrBeEaten]

Not me guv'nor!

Great night tonight, awesome to meet you Frosty and thanks for giving the Red Menace a lookover. I'll see you Saturday! :D

[Badger8]

BIG CHEERS to Frosty for tonight. Was a good lot of explanation for those mechanically unenlightened, and some good new stuff even for us spanner-heads :yes:

I think it was sharry on that corner? she was behind you, and pulled over to a stop, then somehow came through behind us at that corner at the bottom of the residential after a couple of minutes. Dunno what the heck happened there???

[FROSTY]

lol--Id picked out a good ol route for you lot that lead to the back of my yard

[Sharry]

Great info tonight FROSTY, I am nor sure who should have been on the 3rd corner. I thought it was the 2nd rider that stops at the corners .
I stopped at one point to let the van behind me get in front but at that point I couldnt see you guys in front as I couldnt keep up with you.
I cought up at the 4th turn off and Badger and was it Ian both stopped on that one.
Any how it was a good night.

Sly Guy what happened to you on the way to the motorway. I went onto the north western towards westgate and you wern't behind me. I came back to Lincoln Rd but couldn'd find you.
Just hoping that there was nothing wrong with you.

[Badger8]

lol--Id picked out a good ol route for you lot that lead to the back of my yard

well i for one enjoyed the ride tucked in behind ya till i got left on the corner wondering wtf had gone awry, heheh :first:

[Sharry]

Badger was it you and TOTO in front of me that stopped at corner 4? I think it was TOTO that was pointing to the left somewhere near corner 3 but I didn't take it as an indication that I should stop as I thought it was always rider two that stops. I thought he was indicating to something on the road to be avoided.

[Badger8]

Aah! i wondered how the heck you appeared behind us on lincoln rd having left a good 15 minutes before us :laugh:

The corner we're talkin about was the right hander where the van was turning left. Coming up the straight it was Frosty in front, You #2, Me #3, and imwHornet in behind me. No others in sight behind. Frosty went round it, and stopped. You stopped behind him, so myself and ian moved off when frosty moved off again, figuring you had realised it was a corner for pointing.

[Sharry]

Ah that's where the mixup was. My fault intirely :spanking:

[Slyer]

I'll show up one of these weeks I swear.

[samgab]

Hey great night thanks guys n gals--hope ya werent too bored.

Excellent stuff tonight, thanks, especially to the mentoriadores: Frosty, Mark, and Richard. Cheers guys. :Punk:
Sharry: Oh snap! Not to worry, we all made it in the end.
And also, I saw what happened on the way home: At the motorway onramp Lincoln Rd, you entered the Westbound direction of the motorway, and the others got on the citybound direction, I think. You were right up in front till that bit.
See you all next week.

[retro asian]

That was really really interesting. Thanks Frosty!!!

Luckily not many people saw me taking a wrong turn at the FIRST roundabout....:Oops:

[FROSTY]

lol sharry lost the crew twice in one night-I was getting paranoid after loosing an entire ATNR ride 2 weeks back

[FROSTY]

But seriously twas my pleasure--I was hoping to show you lot the possibilitys for it being a good location for future nights--there are some truely lovely low speed corners just behind my place--er ok a knm or so away.

[TOTO]

that was a great night. Thanks you all knowing fellas - Frosty , Richard and Mark :niceone:

had many questions answered and I'm really really pleased.

Frosty for presiden :jerry:

[samgab]

But seriously twas my pleasure--I was hoping to show you lot the possibilitys for it being a good location for future nights--there are some truely lovely low speed corners just behind my place--er ok a knm or so away.

You'll have to lead us on another ride some time around some of those interesting Westie corners...
We must collectively owe you a doz too, for the kind use of the workshop ;)

[FROSTY]

Guys n gals following on from last night. Howasabout we have a training night/hands on spanner night.
This is my thought.
Meet up at westgate as normal.
Someone (other than loose the whole crew frosty) leads the group on a 20 minute ride on the backroads leading to my place
From there those wanting to do cone work /slow riding etc can do so to hearts content at the factory over the road
Those wanting to do minor stuff to their bikes like brake pad change,oil change,chain tension etc can come up and do so.
Kinda a --My bike needs %$%$$ can we do it? night.
If this is a go then my thinking is individual people organise the parts they need and then we get the job done.

That sounds cool. how about every second week ?

[imw-hornet]

Many thanks again chaps , last night was great , bar the missing marker problem :) anyway other than the wind my ride home was so much better , thanks again frosty :)

[EatOrBeEaten]

I'm definitely in favour of this! The more I learn about the Red Menace the happier I'll be :)

[FROSTY]

cool well if the powers that be are into it then Im happy and Jorja is happy to do it on every other week.
I just dont want to step on any toes --ie the guys n gals that for the last year have been there week after week helping you guys n gals out.

[TOTO]

how about every second tuesday ?

[FROSTY]

Heres a question from out in left feild.
Would any of you lot be interested in experiencing a front end washout type crash and or rear wheel slide out type crash BUT in a situation where the result is not damage to yourself OR your bike??

Heres the thing --The lil park where I have the kids days is pretty dug up at the moment its basicly all bulldust on every corner.
The lil trailees are slipping and sliding around like buggery and if you rode them like a road bike--feet up and leaned -the wheels wash out.
If they dont Ill pump the tyres up really hard so they do
you then stand up --or land on ya butt but its so slow and low you just laugh and dust yaself off
It feels the same as a slide on diesel or gravel would on the road bike.

I'm totally up for that. Anything involving dirt bikes is all good ;)

[Badger8]

Sounds like some bloody good ideas all round frosty. I am dead keen for both.
Most keen to bring the KDX out for a bit of workin on, and a bit of sliding fun too ;)
Also happy to lend a hand with my mechanical knowledge if lots of people are wanting help. Not qualified or anything, but not a tard with a spanner neither :lol:

Firstly... Thanks to everyone tonight, I personally knew next to feck all about the combustion engine, other than the $$$ they cost me... so enlightening to find out some more !

It's always very hard to work with a mixed ability audience, and I think it was done just right ! :)

The whole night was really cool for me, to the point I got the suspension adjusted on the bike, and tightened the chain, (cheers for the help on those guys).. The ride home felt complete different, I can't wait to give it a bit of a try on some nice twisties !

I would very much welcome this being a regular feature... and really appreciate that you're offering your facilities so easily !

Spot on guys ! :D, thanks a bunch...

[Sly_guy]

Sly Guy what happened to you on the way to the motorway. I went onto the north western towards westgate and you wern't behind me. I came back to Lincoln Rd but couldn'd find you.
Just hoping that there was nothing wrong with you.

I was heading home, to Ellerslie :), with the other guys... I thought we'd said thats what we were doing ?

We you expecting me to be following over to westgate ?

[Sharry]

OH dear I thought you said you had to go the other way. That was why I was telling you to go left at the motorway. So long as you made it onto the motorway thats ok.

[Hinny]

Jorja is happy to do it on every other week.

C'mon Frosty. You haven't lost that much weight putting beans in the jar only every other week. :rolleyes:

[retro asian]

By the way, our favourite NASS track -the Coatsville Riverhead Highway is being worked on currently.

I found out the road is gravel on the S-bend before the bridge out of Riverhead. But the worst part is that my bike got covered in white lime splatter (right after being fully cleaned the night before :crybaby: )

Maybe need to take a Detour next Wednesday?

what bike are you thinking about getting next fizbin

[Nagash]

Well, you shall all be glad to know that I finally upgraded from the Rebel 250.

I'll be catching a bus into opotiki this thursday in my full bike leathers and riding the 750 beastie back 354kms.

Hell of a way to get used to a new bike if you ask me.

[Sharry]

Now that's very mean Josh:Pokey:
you can't leave us in suspence for that long. It's a cruiser eh?

[Slyer]

I wouldn't have thought there were many 750cc cruisers
Honda shadow?

[musicman]

Yep! I bought my Raptor in Hastings, caught the bus in my riding gear down there and rode 600+kms back home. Awesome.


I wouldn't have thought there were many 750cc cruisers

I think there's a V-4 Honda Magna that's 750cc.

[Gubb]

Shadow's a Twin innit?

My money's on the Magna. Shoulda gotta Bonnie.

[Nagash]

Wow.. i'm instantly associated with cruisers?!

Well, it's not a cruiser, well it is, but in the same it isn't.

[Slyer]

I'd be very disappointed if it wasn't. You're the cruiser man!

[samgab]

I'm guessing it's a... ummm,
CB750 or CBR750 or FZR750 or GPX750 or GSXR750 or GT750 or K75 or Katana or KZ750 or Nighthawk or Triumph Bonneville or VF750 or VFR750 or XJ750 or XV750 or ZXR750 or or or...
I've run out of ideas. There are lots of obscure possible 750's like Motoguzzis etc.

XVS750 Viagra?

[Sly_guy]

I'd quote lots of different by names / models... but I don't know many :)..

However... One thing I did learn from Frosty's Garage experience.....

Degreaser.... HOW GOOD IS THAT SHIT !

I bought a big ass tub of it (the water soluble stuff, as I was using it on my driveway), spray it on, leave it 10 mins... grab the hosepipe....
OMG... I usually give the hyo a good clean every few weeks, but this time had left it a bit longer...

This shit is the bizzle ! the bike looks like new again! (after a went around a bit more with a squirty gun and a cloth.....) I just need some polish now !

[musicman]

XVS750 Viagra?

Nah, that's a full-on cruiser, he said it's only kind of a cruiser.

How awesome would it be if he got an R7 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YZF-R7)??

[Slyer]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_FZX750
yes?

[Badger8]

Degreaser.... HOW GOOD IS THAT SHIT !

You been living under a rock bro? :bleh:
That's the trick alright. Waterblast any lumps of muck off. Degreaser soak, and hose off. Polish for that showroom shine, silicon spray for the plastics. Makes em come up gleaming :sunny:

Cleaning your bike? What madness is this?

[Jacko2]

Just Googled..........Nooooiiice Josh

[Sly_guy]

The question is, does it have the same "Charm" as the Rebel ?




By charm, clearly I mean a busted ass tail light, virtually no pegs, and fuck all tread on the tyres ???

Hi Folks , I am unable to be at NASS for about 3 to 4 weeks . I had a little off .:innocent: A car turned in front of me at the Onewa rd and Lake rd intersection (Iwas going straight down towards the motorway, he was comming up and turned to Lake rd. I was so close that it was a head-on crash.:shit:I ended on his bonnet shoulder charged the windscreen (totaled it).:Punk: Unfortunately my right leg got caught between the bike and car. :sick: I have massive bruising from crutch to toes BUT no broken bones. :Punk: In the ambo it looked like at least 3 brakes, it's amazing what body can cope with and bounce back. I was conciderate to the ambo I stayed on the bonnet so there was no lifting or bending. When it was time to be transported it just required a bum shuffle on to the stretcher. See you soon Richard

[Slyer]

Glad to hear you're okay mate!
Crikey

[samgab]

I had a little off .:innocent: A car turned in front of me...

Oh no! That sucks. Well, recover quickly, and maybe you'll have lots of computer time to post stuff on KB for a bit?
Are they keeping you in hospital, or are you out already?
Does that mean you're going to have to make another motorcycle out of all the parts remaining?

[3L4NS1R]

I had a little off .:innocent:

Looks like its just off-ing all round this month aye?

I'll be there tonight. Battle damage included.

[Nagash]

Ah, I see you're a cripple at the moment.

[Badger8]

Bugger to hear Richard, hope you heal up well mate. You're as tough as coffin nails, sure you'll be back before we know it! :Punk:

[Slyer]

Well we all unanimously decided that the pub was far more appealing than riding on a slippery carpark. :bleh:

aww, no wet practice for the win? or should that be for the bin? :laugh:
Sorry i missed it peeps, though it doesnt sound like i missed too much!:p The red menace needed a little helping hand, and there was much biker talk to be had at the destination amongst good company :yes:
Next week! :sunny:

[fizbin]

Good to see you all again. Sorry mark but the pub just looked a hell of a lot more inviting and i was cold, not having all my bike gear on and all.
Bloody hell Richard!!!!! i am glad to hear you are alright sounds like you did it right though at least that is something. hope maybe to see you all in a couple of weeks.

[retro asian]

It wasn't that much safer inside...I was pretty much "Bukkakked" (did I spell it right?) by Todd's flying cream when he got a little too excited telling his story... :confused:

[Badger8]

Dude, throw your bike gear in the car next wed, you're gettin on the back of the beastie :)

[Badger8]

[Sharry]

Yeah amm sorry about that. I got some on Sharry too and some in my eye :dodge:


How can I complain when the Hooligan had just escourted me up and down highway 16 cornering at speeds I have not ridden at prior :clap: showing off his prowess by roaring at noughty cages :bleh:

[Sharry]

Richard, thats a bummer mate.
Take care of yourself and hope to see you back up and riding soon. It does sound like a nasty bruise that will be very sore for a while though . Use lots of Arnica mate.

Sharon

[Nagash]

I'm home atlast! Thank god!

Never, never again will I catch a bus for 7 hours... NOw i'm not the tallest bloke so you'd expect that seats would be able to fit me but I had to sprawl across the aisle because I couldn't fit..

But the ride back on the new beastie.. my god.. talk about fun.


This thing's an absolute monster, i'm lost for words.

Ended up racing a bright red ferarri on the way back and keeping in the lead. Got up to 160 before I started to lose him, had plenty more in reserve.. Took the thing off the speedo (180) and that was in fourth gear... two more to try out.

I swear i'm in love. Tried to time my 0-100 time at the lights but it was offer so fast I was more concentrating on holding on then getting past '1'.


See you guys next week... I gots to start all this practicing stuff all over again.

[Badger8]

Aye. Great bike, I found it was a little jumpy at lower speeds, i'd struggle to commute on it. Sounds like Thunder though.

[fizbin]

i would prob need life insurance for the misses but..

lol, now that is true....

Fizbin... mate, are you really trying to get yourself killed !!! is there no talking you out of a 1000 ish bike ?

As for the license side of things... why don't you go sit that defensive street doofer thingy, that would reduce your restricted to a 3 month TOTAL I believe.. so would be within the month, or there abouts ???

[fizbin]

lol, now that is true....

as for talking me out of the leterish thing maybe depends if i find a bike i really want to buy.
have no fear about me buying the gxer 1000 turbo though, i am not that crazy, i am looking into the defensive thing at the mo, so i can reduce time on my license.
anyway, i am not the bad am i :sweatdrop

Well i would be worried about you takin the step up, but i know you have ridden big bikes before, and ridden them with a bit of gusto too ;)
Just give it the respect it deserves while you're getting the hang of it, and you'll be right. As i learnt very quickly, it only goes as fast as you tell it to :yes:

If you wanna come along next wed throw some gear in the car and stop by mine after work. We'll cruise over on the beastie and you can drive back later with no traffic :)

[Badger8]

Mate, a 250 to a 1000 is a massive step, particularly if your looking at a TL1000R.

Amen to that :yes:
The step from the 250 to the 900 for me was enough to make me shit a chicken a few times, and that's a placid beastie :crazy:

[Nagash]

Although it's rather somethign that should be discussed over a cold beer,

I support the transition. As had been mentioned, it's all in the wrist.

Perosnally, i've been showing no restraint what-so-ever doing well over 111km/h's (which is supposedly enough to kill you) and that's just on a 750.

Speed still feels the same, you just don't have to rev the tits off it to get there.

[Badger8]

Speed still feels the same, you just don't have to rev the tits off it to get there.

Indeed. The biggest thing i'm loving is the fact that she just happily purrs away on the open rd, vs having to work it on the 250. And if i need to pass someone, i can give it a squirt and do it swiftly and much more safely than when i was lacking power.
And is nice and smooth through the corners... not this bucking and skittering the 250 did on the rougher roads.

Treat it with the respect it deserves and you'll be right mate :yes:

[fizbin]

Mate, a 250 to a 1000 is a massive step, particularly if your looking at a TL1000R.
To put your mind at ease. after doing some pretty intense reading on the net both last night and today the TLR is no longer an option, commuting on it would be a mission.


Fizbin... mate, we just don't wanna see you splattered mate ! :D thats all !

So i threw him on the back of the beastie and took him for a blat up Old North Rd, Peak Rd, and SH16 up to Wellsford. Then back the same way for added funsies :sunny:
Was a good bit of practice for me carryin a pillion too, my poor bike with 3 people worth of weight on it! :weep: But it held up well, and went like a trooper. Still handles remarkably well, just a little sluggish on the power as compared to normal :bleh:

Cool, thanks for the vids Toto. Interesting to watch the ride from another perspective. I'd love to see the whole ride in one vid but at triple speed or something. The Video editing software you use can probably do that somehow...

Also, I felt a bit rude riding off whilst Mark was still talking the other night. Sorry about that Mark, but I had to go and get a snack before riding home -- before the curfew. Thanks for the info though. :D
