[Sammy12]

NASS the porno!

Oh god...
:buggerd:

[Devil]

Sorry I disappeared as soon as I arrived at the carpark. Beer and boobies called. Will turn up again so I can cheat at emergency braking on the beemer.

[Sammy12]

Tui!! :drinkup:

[Sharry]

I'll take it off for you :laugh:

YEA RIGHT:lol:

You are such a respectable young fellow I imagine that you will whip off your flourecent green mankini only to show off your sexy kadora leggings :laugh:

[Badger8]

i used to run 32 front, 36 rear om my lil ol hornet (similar to the bandit) What size tyre on the rear?
You'll find if you get too high pressure on the front it'll feel like its trying to skitter as you turn in / go through corners. Generally want more pressure in the rear tyre, wider and carrying more load through the corners etc.

Interesting. I put about 35-38 front and 45 rear in my tyres. Maybe that is why I feel my bike is not always sticking to the road on corners like I find bigger bikes do.

Yeh, way too high for that bike. 33F/36R will be fine for you.

Back is 150/60 R17 and the front is 110/70 R17

:eek5: i dont put that much pressure in my bike!
might want to drop those pressure a bit...

[FROSTY]

32/36 is a good number to start with,
The circles thing--the whole idea is to get round n round UNDER CONTROL in as tight a circle as possible. The circle size to a fair degree is only limited by the lock of your bike.

[Badger8]

Back is 150/60 R17 and the front is 110/70 R17

yep, 32 on the front and 36 rear should do you well. (have a play within a 2-3psi range and find what you like the feel of if you want to fine tune it)

[Sammy12]

Thanks :2thumbsup

[3L4NS1R]

forgot to check my tyres after some offroading. turns out i've been running 12 psi for the last month. Thank goodness for rim locks.

Now back to a healthy 21. :2thumbsup

You live on the same road as me by the way, I've seen ya.

[retro asian]

I just bought an L shaped valve extension from Cycletreads.

I was going psycho the other day at the Gas Station when I couldn't fit the air to my rear tyre.

I was exactly like this guy (who's mum cancelled his WoW -World of Warcraft account):

Came standard on my last Triumph. Best invention ever, I dont know why other manufactures still persist with the standard ones.

Really? cunliffe or gladys?
edit: Just looked at your photos, recognise the car.
So do you know anything about that black celica that got painted? Rode past on the morning after it happened. Messy!

[Badger8]

Stalker! :chase:

Those L shaped valves are awesome. Luckily Triumphs seem to have them from standard. Such a good idea.

Hey, I'm not to sure I would advertise my address on an open forum, from your location and this post it would be easy to work out where your bike is stored ! Just a thought. Keep it safe.

On my Bandit, I found 34F/37R felt "right".

I just run 33 front and rear on the viffer though, because I ride that like a cock.

[3L4NS1R]

Haha.. Fair enough


Goonr, I'm am currently wearing the same shirt as you are in your pict.

What are the chances.


Anyone else excited about that fact? Thought so.

That beast of a thing with the radiator hanging down the front? :P
Nah I have only been there a few months, was wondering what all the paint all over the road and fence was from though...

God dang it... for some god forsaken reason, I can't see that youtube thingy.... can someone send me a link.. I feel like I'm missing out...

(good night again fellas..)

[Slyer]

Did you see what he was doing with the remote?

[retro asian]

You put the remote up your butt?


A friend told me that mobile phone/remote control buttons can give a real nice tactile feel... :lol:

Oh, and "someone told" you about that tactile feel, huh?
Sounds like a case of "Doctor, I have this friend who..."
But it's not a joking matter really, there is that kid in - where else but - the USA who shot his mum and dad because they took his FPSRPG from him. His mum died, but his dad survived.

I'm happy, BTW, cos I just PASSED my full.
So, any good deals going on Hya... Hyo... Hyobusas?

Hyobusa...is that something like what Chaosrider was building?

[GSXR Trace]

that video clip if freakin hilarious! the fact that the brother knew it was going to be THAT funny is a little worrying... its a bloody computer game!
but i wondered the same thing.. what the hell is he doing with remote? and why during that did he have to take off his clothes?

[shah]

hey Sam

congrats re: 6F. last night's session sounded like fun. couldn't make it, unfortunately. regards, Shah

to ride at NASS (to keep it on topic).

[MarkH]

but i wondered the same thing.. what the hell is he doing with remote? and why during that did he have to take off his clothes?

Because he is one messed up individual (I'm using my nice language here). Basically the kid in 'nucking futs'! Kids can be expected to get upset when they don't get what they want - but there is a range of normal behaviour, then there is that kid!

Back to the topic of 90° tyre valves - when I bought my rear tyre I asked at Haldanes about swapping to the 90° valves because I couldn't get a tyre inflater thingy (sorry to get so technical) onto them. The bike mechanic guy said that he didn't recommend them because they could more easily catch on something and rip out - which would be bad. Has anyone ever heard of problems like that? Anyway I ended up sticking with my normal tyre valves and bought a new tyre inflater thingy with a flexible stem that I can get onto my valves OK with some effort - now I can adjust my pressure whenever I want.

[Gubb]

you understand that a few hundred years ago , behaviour like this would have been considered demonic and he would have been burned alive, or killed with rocks.

Or they live in Bulgaria.

Catch on what?
After 70,000km on my Triumph with them had no issues whatsoever!
That guys on crack.

[samgab]

Ooh, check that one out Sharry! :niceone:

Hey! She (seller) just dropped the price to under $6G too. I sent an email. If I could sell the VTR quickly I'd buy this ER6N, looks like a good deal. After checking it out thoroughly first, and taking for a good test ride, of course...

Just make sure it isn't Crazy Steve's one. If not, then it'd be a steal! :niceone:

That guys on crack.

At the time I was racking my brains trying to think of any situation where a problem COULD occur - maybe an issue on an offroad bike (adventure/MX/motard/whatever) but on my scooter?

My rear rim is only 13" and the front is 14" - there is not a lot of room between the brake discs and the rim. I will have to look at the issue again when I am getting the next new tyre (I am up to 24,000 kms, the front can't last forever). Currently I can inflate my tyres at home but at a service station it all depends on the design of their tyre inflater.

Yeah it's a pain in the arse, definately recommend the 90 degree valves, sooo much easier to work with. I cant think at all what it could possibly catch on that a standard one wouldn't...

He's been trying to sell that for 12 months now. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw that bike.

Me'n some mates made a cash offer yonks ago, which he refused. Next day said it'd been "sold" for even less'n what we'd offered.

He's managed to allegedly "sell" that bike at LEAST three times that I recall, before I stopped following his dodgy thread.

Since he started trying to sell it he's dropped the price around 4k, told everyone it's been sold multiple times, and also crashed it whilst wheelieing.

I wouldn't touch that with a eight foot stick. :niceone:

Cheers mate, appreciate the info.
I asked the trademe guy "steve" if he was crazy steve from KB, to which he replied "No".
But both steves are from Franklin, Auckland;
Both of them it's the missus' bike;
Both green 2008 ER6N's;
Both showing pix with the Arrow muffler...
Both have similar phrasing in the text about when the services were done...

All seems like too much of a co-incidence.
And if it is him, why would he reply that "no" it isn't?

I'll keep waiting. Maybe even just keep my VTR till I can afford finance on a new STriple... Unless someone makes me an offer I can't refuse for the VTR.

[PirateJafa]

Yeah.

I mean, sure he *might* be a nice enough guy. But fucked if I'm going to take a chance like that with my money.

Psst, there's a few nice VFRs on TM at the moment... ;)

Damb, I was looking at crazy steves bike too but got told by someone that it was seen being drag raced so left it alone. Looks like too much of a coincidence eh.
Otherwise I would snap it up in a flash :yes:

[GOONR]

Just wondering who goes to NASS, how long they been riding etc... I'm due to get my bike in about a week or so. I'm thinking of coming along to this, just don't want to turn up and look like a complete newbie dickhead.

Mate, if you come along and look like a dickhead... you will fit in quite nicely... :D

Nothing to do with the riding (we try to be sensible with that!), just, mostly they are dickheads :D (in a nice way eh steve !)

[Sly_guy]

@Samgab...

Mate, so you're looking for a bigger bike now eh ?


Technically, mine is BIGGER... and just think of all that money you would save on speeding tickets !, and not many "BIGGER" bikes get 400km's to a tank :D

Go on... :D

[PeteMun]

Just wondering who goes to NASS, how long they been riding etc...

Been riding for 6 weeks or so but I went to NASS the very first week I got my (first) bike and was a very good decision. I had only ridden a bike once before 2 years back at the BHS test..


I'm due to get my bike in about a week or so. I'm thinking of coming along to this, just don't want to turn up and look like a complete newbie dickhead.

Newbies (like me) turn up every week.. Have you got any motorcycle experience at all ? If not and you dont feel comfortable riding to NASS by yourself I could always meet you

[GOONR]

hey hey.... been riding for 4 weeks... A COMPLETE NEWBIE!!!!! Come along next Wednesday!

Would do but the bike is having a few bits done to it and wont be ready in time, should have it for the Wednesday after tho... I haven't been on a bike since my BHS :pinch: I'm itching to get going...

Mate, if you come along and look like a dickhead... you will fit in quite nicely... :D

Nothing to do with the riding (we try to be sensible with that!), just, mostly they are dickheads :D (in a nice way eh steve !)

Yup sounds like I will fit right in then :2thumbsup

[GOONR]

Have you got any motorcycle experience at all ? If not and you dont feel comfortable riding to NASS by yourself I could always meet you

Nice offer :jerry: I rode for a little while years back in London but that was a long long time ago, so basically I'm starting a fresh. Just have to wait for the bike to be ready, should be next week.....

i joined NASS the same week after i got my bike; that's after a 15-year break. so it's all good for newbies and born-again riders. no worries.

[Danae]

I went to NASS two days after I got my bike

you'll be sweet as

[musicman]

I'm happy, BTW, cos I just PASSED my full.
So, any good deals going on Hya... Hyo...


@Samgab...

Mate, so you're looking for a bigger bike now eh ?


Technically, mine is BIGGER... and just think of all that money you would save on speeding tickets !, and not many "BIGGER" bikes get 400km's to a tank :D

Go on... :D

Well he DID ask for a Hyo!

[retro asian]

So, any good deals going on Hya... Hyo... Hyobusas?

You have exactly the same bike as the one I'm getting, how are you finding it??

[Nagash]

You have exactly the same bike as the one I'm getting, how are you finding it??

Hmmm, I've seen quite a few British people in this country with a Bandit. Funny that.

They're good bikes all in all. Bit of pace for a 250, and reasonably comfortable.

You should enjoy learning to ride on it.

31 000km for a hornet is barely run in. looks like a mint bike. and the price is right.

One thing I dont remember excatly is about the front forks. I believe the model 01 up to 03 have non-adjustable forks, while the models 2004 - 2008 have adjustable front suspension. I suggest you ask the seller if I am correct (i'm 99% sure).

it would pay to go have a look at it. Let me know if you would like me to come with you to have a look together.

send me a pm if you want to know more stuff about hornets :niceone:

[Badger8]

Dude that is a good bike for a good price alright! Barely been used at those low k's :yes:
And yeah, it was the late '04 models that started having the adjustable front forks
Looks legit, but would probably pay to have someone kick the tires with you if you're interested. Probably wont last long at that price :sunny:

[fizbin]

bike looks mint bro buy it! buy it! buy it!
i'm am so good at spending other peoples money!

Wow, looks like a few of the NASS regulars are looking to move up from 250's... Good stuff, things will be getting interesting! And with some other newbies starting to come along too, great!

[TOTO]

1 - gorgeous bine, ecxept, hate the position, prefer the naked one.
2 - oh yea baby, wish i had some spare cash :drool:
3 - nice
4 - maybe, never ridden one
5 - absolutely mint bike. belongs to HungusMaximist (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/member.php?u=10326) from the uniSMC and I have ridden behind that bike many a time and it is a real minter too. Ewen really takes care of it.
6 - same as #1
7 - looks nice , but price a bit high

Thanks for the feedback on Hungus' bike (and the others).
6 and 7 seem a bit steep, but both are virtually brand new, with 4 and 6 thousand K's on the clock respectively. So they're not even fully run in yet. With 7 you can tell she's really looked after it and treated it like gold, which is a good thing when you're the next buyer.

...Even meeting Steve at Red Baron didn't put her off!!! (I guess she was what he was expecting)...

Those shadows are fairly nice. Just be aware the seat is very low. Even for a cruiser... has a little of the go-kart syndrome where you feel yer arse is about 2 inches off the deck when i rode one, but that may just be me :D

Even comes pre-dented! :2thumbsup

So, now on 85 demerits, which sucks super balls...

Anyone any advice on Radar detectors (other than don't loose them off your bike eh fizzy !!!!)... Yes, I appreciate "slowing down" is the answer, but not getting caught doing anything at all over the next 2 years is going to be, well, a tad difficult....

Valentine V1. And ask the copper if you can see the supposed XXX speed locked in on his radar, and his last ticket to make sure it's not the same. Unless you know you <i>were</i> doing what he claims you were; in which case, fair cop.

[MarkH]

Yes, I appreciate "slowing down" is the answer

That's what the radar detector is for - to remind you to check your speed and make sure it is not too high, lest you get done again. You certainly don't have one so you can break the law, heaven forbid :innocent:

Just as well it was out! i am not going to post how fast i was going but let me say it was just slightly more than the posted speed limit and a tad more than what said officer booked me for. so i thought it only polite to mention to him that he just may want to have his radar checked!

What are you on about - you are riding a Suzuki, they must be one of the worst for speedo accuracy. I can ride my scooter on 120kph without the cops bothering me - the GPS says I am only doing 108kph.

Do you have an original sprocket? Regardless you may want to check the accuracy of YOUR speedo. I would guess that the cop's radar is pretty close to accurate.

Mate, that's probably because they think you're riding a White Hornet... you could probably scream past them, giving the bird, doing 150 in a 50, and their thoughts would be "shit, I'm not pulling him over, I'm not sure if he'll punch me or rape me !"

Well that was a great night...glad I got a leave pass. Good to get some emergency braking practice in, as well as having good company at the pub before and afterwards.

Thanks for making me feel welcome. I will definitely try to get along to more NASS nights.

P.S. Good on GunnyRob for the ABS demo...even if he didn't drop the Beemer :whistle:

Nice to have you along :)

That ABS stuf is very cool. Wish they put it on more bikes. I gues I gotta start saving for a beemeer. probably by the time i have the money for it they will have put reverse thrusters on instead of ABS...:wacko:

[Danae]

Sorry I couldn't make it guys, I went on an impromptu ride with squiggles to tauranga to visit motorbyclist and PirateJafa

[chasio]

Well I had a moment last night but couldn't come along to the pub for a debrief, so here is what I THINK happened.

I was lined up wrong for the braking practise so thought I'd wiggle around to straighten up before setting off. This gives me my
Lesson #1 - I need to plan my approach earlier so as to line up better.

While doing this I was thinking about the next practise run i.e. "I need a bit more squeeze on the front and a bit less foot", etc.
Lesson #2 - focus on what I am doing RIGHT NOW not what I am going to be doing later. It is too easy to switch off and, as Richard underlined, bikes don't give a lot of margin for inattentive riders.

So I got to roughly were I want to be lined up and with about half lock still on I decide to use the front brake to stop the bike. I have read more than once that this ia a BAD IDEA but before the brain kicked in it was whoosh, thump, oh, things look different from down here. :Oops:

Lesson #3 FFS don't grab the front brake in a car park manoeuvre and definitely not with some lock angling the front wheel down any kind of slope, a full top box and a fresh tankful of gas!

Richard was kind enough to tell me he's seen far more experienced bikers do it and I am hoping that is the "public drop" now out of the way and I won't do it again (ahem).

A big thank you to the kind folks that picked up my bike and checked I was OK. I have to say, if I'm going to do something daft with a group of people there to watch, you're a good bunch to choose. :2thumbsup

Last night I thought I'd got away with it (bar a sore finger), but today I find I have a sore back and stiff neck. I think it is reminder of my age more than anything else!

I can't make it next week but I'll be back for more (practise, that is).

Cheers - Chasio

PS Another plus for the Freewind - no damage except for a couple of minor scratches to the brake lever and the luggage rack. The bars seem to keep the plastics off the ground nicely. :)

Frosty has very kindly made his garage available for next Wednesday.......

I will be taking a "Road Theory" evening for all of those who wish to attend.

This will not be a Defensive Driving Course type lecture but is aimed at the around town rider. Discussion will be lively and very much motorcycle orientated.

Tea, Coffee and chocolate biscuits will be supplied.

Meet at Shell Westgate at the usual time, 6.30pm to 7.00pm.

Then I will lead whoever wishes to attend to Frosties place in Henderson.

The evening is roughly planned to finish around 9pm.

Mark

[shah]

[Badger8]

on the hornetto's you gotta pull the tank off. Once you got that off it's not tooooo bad, just make sure you got a plug socket and an extension for the ratchet and you'll be fine :yes: and make sure you push the plug leads on nice n firm when you replace them :sunny:
