Laxed out rides

[PaddyFZ1]

Wicked! Did they end up setting yer bike up for you?

I just put new lights on my bike, looks pretty swish now :D photo's soon.

Just a basic setup, set the static sag, and then if you wanted to play with it some more you just had to ask.
I only had to adjust the front preload, rear was ok, that made a big difference. Did find out i should respring the front end for my weight

[Geeen]

Koz, new lights are uber cool. Have you thought of green braided brake lines?? Coz your brakes dont have enough power already:lol:.

Squid. it was me who waved and tooted in the big black van tonite.... you looked confused:whistle:

Re-spring as in get a new set of internals? sounds costly dude :s

[Geeen]

[Geeen]

Whos up for shouting munta a couple o' drinks on saturday??:drinkup: Him and the missus have had the week from hell and I think its in biker handbook to give mates alcohol when things like that happen. :done:.Right, I'm off for a whiskey.

Springs are pretty cheap, bout 3-400. Its when you start playing with the valveing that it starts to get a lot more expensive.

[HACHET]

i would like to get my front end resprung as it feels a bit soft when i push it a little just need more feed back from the forks so may have to save for some ohlins springs. Any way sounds like you all had a good ride on sunday i was nursing a serious hangover (it must have been the last one that did it). I am a little jealous of you guys this weekend what with the drinks on saturday and a good ride on sunday but im just looking forward to my trip up north for 3 days, mmmmmmmmm 3 days on my bike sounds too good, no work no kids heaven will try and write a reasonable report on the trip when i get back. so you lot ride safe and have a beer for me on saturday. :drinkup:

Sweet, 3-400 sounds cheap, is that you putting them in yourself? If you have a doubt give the guys at speed-tech a call, they are good guys and they know their stuff.

Thanks man :) she's my baby :love: going to do a bit more work with a tail tidy, got to make one up myself so its going to be a little while before its done unless any of you guys know someone with a bender?

I am always open to suggestion!I could have landed myself with 200km of gravel and heartache :blank: are you coming to the sat drinks this weekend? or to choppa's thing friday? We should have a yarn :)


In other news who is going to choppa's zx10 promo this friday?

Done the 100 kms of gravel last summer in that area , coming in from the coast, from Mokau onto the forgotten Highway!!

Won't be there for drinks as we have 1500 Kms of tarseal to eat up- doin the far north trip with Boyds. Feel free to drop in one night on ur way past tho. We hear you most nights :)

Sweet, maybe thursday or one night next week, i am an extremely busy nerd at the moment :no: between making sites, working, defensive driving, seeing specialists and MRI scans SIGH!

Bryce told me to change down when i go past, managed to squeeze out a couple of yellow flames past your place :laugh: purely accidental of course.

RT at crown quoted me @ 3 - 400 also for the stage 1 Ohlins fr end kit which consists of springs & oils only Boyds cost to install @ $200, stage 2 is when you start playing with the valves.

The difference the Ohlins has made to the rear of my BB is amazing to say the least, still tinkering with it at the moment but slowly making headway...

Ohlins is oneway of going $$$$$$ my rr shock for the BB cost $2k custom setup for my weight/height & NZ road conditions @ $200 to install, but worth it the amount of adjustment you can make is truely amazing very simple to do just takes time & kms. I know of a group of BB owners that have gone for a Penske rr shock , alot less cost than a Ohlins @ a 3rd but a little unsure about after sale service ie: parts backup, rebuilds etc.... still waiting on feedback from these guys & the feedback should be interesting as the BB group is worldwide so no doubt feedback will vary.

[Mr. Rock]

Yeah man, i'll shout him and his missus a drink :)

you really dont have too... hopefully she will make saturday.. (for those who dont know she got diagnosed with viral meningitis) she is doing sweet just has PLPH at the mo which is post lumber puncture headaches, so she cant stand up but is getting something done today.. which in theory should fix her.

for those of you with atc2k's have you found that if your recording and run out of batterys that you loose the vid you were recording, or is that crap SD card??

[Murray]

For those wondering about this Sunday, by popular agreement Kawhia is being given a miss with some riders having done it over the last 2 weekends. Mister Koz and I will be doing a route up to night and hopefully will be on calendar tomorrow sometime. Involves stopping at a lake about 1/2 way and maybe a swim for those inclined. Probably 320km+ ride with some back road, some highway.

[Mr. Rock]

that sounds like fun :)

Sorry murray i was going to mention it on monday but got swept up in other things, thanks for giving people the heads up. I am really looking forward to this ride and the swim in the middle. Only tricky part is having enough room for my towel and a picnic... hrm....

[Brooke]

Hey munta hope the GF feels better soon. We'll be missing you guys on the ride this weekend. But good news... I finally got some pants sorted! Woohoo

[Sidewinder]

[mister.koz]

Hey everyone please excuse bad english as murray and i have had a management meeting which largely consisted as drinking beer and talking shit - hat a great time!! anyone welcome in future!

Anyways as previously discussed doing kawhia this weekend seems like a slightly silly idea as we did it last weekend and we did the kawhia/otorohanga - waitomo route the weekend before so we have elected to change the route to something completely different.

Murray and i got together and had beers, talked shit and figured out a route :D

The plan consists of heading out melville via mstery creek to cambridge then passing through karapiro (via the dam - love it) to toatoaroa through hobbiton (lord of the rings) then back to 29 an down to matamata for gas/ refreshments then heading onto SH21 to SH29 over the kaimai's to tauranga where we will find a petrol station that has a toilet, after the re-fuel and de-fuel we head to rotorua via SH39 (one of my favourite roads) then onto hamurana road to SH33 to SH30 then turning left at Tarawera road to the blue lake where we can swim and chill out for a bit. Then we head through rotovegas to SH5 to SH36 and left onto oturoa road and basically a b-line to cambridge from off-trunk roads then to SH1B out of cambridge to the backroads (including telephone rd, puketaha rd and gordington rd) to hamilton its about 340km in total.

As always suggestion is sweet, but this looks like a good plan. have adjusted the calendar appt.

I will be bringing michelle and if i can a couple more. so we are up around the 16 mark :) good turnout so far.

[Murray]

Looks like we may be a couple of riders short on Sunday. Daves just written off his new bike!!!! Car pulled out in front of him on River road. He's OK with a broken wrist being the worst of the damage!! Looks like Krissies the rider in the family now

best wishes dave and quick healing

[Mr. Rock]

Was just talking to Honda Riders Club because im going to join them to do some rider development days. (6th jan)

they said that they do insurance, so i asked for my bike (i have my learners) what they wood insure me for. they said with my GTR insured for 6000 that my premium would be $327 with a excess of $500.

obviously this would pay 6000 if i crashed. 5000 worth of riding gear. 1000 worth of keys and locks (incase you have chiped keys etc). and theft cover too.

also if you do there rider training days they take the course cost off your next years premium.

i thought it was a pretty good deal. http://www.hondaridersclub.co.nz/ if you want more info that is there wedsite :)

You thinking of getting a Honda? Well I suppose you do have those peircings :D

That price is pretty similar to how much I pay but I don't think I get the gear cover. That's pretty handy.

Hey,

[Murray]

Just been up to see Dave and Krissie at hospital. She was on KB when she got the phone call. He's all good, just going into Xrays as I arrived. Krissie just txt me and hes going to have a plate put in his LEFT wrist sometime soon, bit of bruising on the knee other than that pretty good considering. He went to pass a car that had pulled to the left and it them did a sharp right and dave went into the back door of the car at about 90 kph. He should be home later today!!

[HACHET]

Dave mate i feel for you hope the wrist is not too bad and you recover quickly. i know what it is like as i have broken my wrist before.
Is the bike a complete write off or can it be saved (RIP the black beast)

Geez Dave.. That was a nice bike..

I bet you didn't even break your wrist in the accident, you broke it punching the cager didn't ya !? ( I would have )

You take it easy so that wrist heals well

[Murray]

Daves in overnight and having op on his arm in the morning. If anyone passing he's n ward 6 room 3

[mister.koz]

Krystin tells me that he's going to have a plate put in his arm as soon as possible - built in armour?

She says he's in a ward waiting for the OP to put the plate in which will be tomorrow.

So he's in good hands :)

[mister.koz]

oops, beat me to it :)

[Murray]

Hey everyone please excuse bad english as murray and i have had a management meeting which largely consisted as drinking beer and talking shit - hat a great time!! anyone welcome in future!


Wednesday is generally the night I go to te rapa Tavern between 5 and 6. Anyone feeling like mid week drinkies (especially with the hotter weather) think about coming along. Special for the night is burger and fries and pint of beer for $7.00. Now thats what I call a mega deal!!!

[WhatThe???]

hey all, yea hes going to be ok but it will be at least 6 weeks till hes on a bike again. We have no idea when he will get his plate put in, fingers crossed for tomorrow. He had just picked up the bike from speedtech and was really happy with how it was running....damn cars....if I find that guy hes in for an ear full. On the up side the cops didnt turn up to talk to Dave. He had his camera running so hopefully that is still on the bike, find out tomorrow when I go to get it. Il have another look on the road side too, I found one of his pegs earlier and theres fairings all over the road so hes very lucky to get away with his wrist broken and a few grazes.

Ah well, back to the hospital tomorrow.

Thanks to Murray and Koz :hug:

[rideon]

Donna & Milan send their best wishes to Dave & Krysie. Our thoughts will be with him as we head north on the Boyds far north trip. Have safe trip Sunday guys & enjoy ya Drinkies at the C & B

Also, what really really pissed me off today was how almost everyone that saw David seemed like they were making out that he was speeding or it was his fault somehow. FFS!! ok maybe he didnt see the indicator but cars have mirrors for a reason and its called a blindspot for a reason. Just because your on a bike doesnt mean your some nutter thats just going to hoon up behind someone or around them. And then they go on bout how bikers have the most accidents!?!? omg people there would be less if there were more bikers and less cars. argh. ok now im just ranting....my bad...

[WhatThe???]

nevermind.....

Thinking of you Dave and you too Kryssie, I know what it is like to get one of them dreaded phone calls :( Our Miss 11 came home from school first thing she had to tell us was she saw an accident on the way to tech this morning (they go to Ngaruawahia for tech), the ambulance people were looking after someone :(

ok maybe he didnt see the indicator

Do you know that the car was indicating? Cause it is not unusual for a car to turn without indicating, completely oblivious to the idea that other people might be using the same road as them.

[mister.koz]

Possibly doesn't matter, i mean indicating or not you have to wait till the coast is clear before performing a u-turn which involves using your eyes, possibly a bit tricky for the average 4wd driver??

honestly i dont give a $#@! about what the 4wd driver thought he was doing in my experience ppl who drive those are compensating for their small.....brain....

[ckai]

Well, Brooke and I went to see Dave tonight. Didn't have enough corn chips for tea so thought we'd do Burger Fuel. Perfect opportunity to see the crash victim as well. I must say that he doesn't look too bad and if he didn't need a plate he would have left the hospital.

So now he'll be pillion to Kyssie :D

Wow so much has happened since i last looked!!!!
I really feel for you both Dave and Krissie!!!!!!
A crash is a crash and its never nice or good, but it could have been worse, just glad Daves OK!!! I hope everything goes smooth with the wrist and also the claim, it would make the whole process easier!!
Heal up nice and good dave !!

[HACHET]

[mister.koz]

600 might be a plan, more manageable i hear.

[Mr. Rock]

those crash pics dont look overly fun.. looks like your a lucky man Dave.

[WhatThe???]

he is rather lucky, must be that angel on his shoulder :)

[jmk]

Hope the hospital doesnt stuff around and keep you and Dave waiting all day!! Haha can just imagine the GREEN cast

[rideon]

Another Lady for the LOR coming soon to a place near you ,:clap: Donna buying a bike next week !! Seeing all the other fairer sex riders got her motivated and wanting her own.
We just heading off now for our 3 day trip - 2 up maybe for the last time :)
Sobering thoughts looking at Daves bike & realising he was pretty lucky injury wise. All the best for his op.

Yeah after seeing the bike and then Dave's gear, I would say very lucky (or skilled :)). I have to say, seeing his left glove especially shows that you need some really good ones (worn and torn right through on 3 of the fingers).

LOL...so who's partners are left to get bikes? There must be only a few.

Bloody good to see. I always like seeing chicks doing "bloke" things. The first LOL to do a wheelie, I will give them...

A high five!! (don't knock it, we're bringing them back in)

:Punk:

[Mr. Rock]

mine still needs a bike. wants one but not enough pingers.

Question: does anyone have a L plate i can borrow for wednesday?? sitting my licence

Trademe??? got mine for $1

[Dargor]

Trademe??? got mine for $1
$2 shop??? got mine for $2, and didnt have to wait for it to come in the post.

But i like your style.

[WhatThe???]

lol i never thought to look there...

[Mr. Rock]

awesome i believe i can spare $2

[mister.koz]

awesome i believe i can spare $2

Y'know that is a really good plan but even so your a cheapass :innocent:

[ckai]

I got mine from a $2 kinda shop. Came with 2 so I have a spare when my other "falls off" :)

[Murray]

Un bloody believable!!!!!!!!!!

Been up to see Dave about an hour ago and he's all good except the "fatboy" is starving!!

Krissie's now txt me "No sugery tonight, maybe tomorrow"

2 nights in hospital for a 1/2 hour operation on a broken arm. No wonder waiting lists are so long.

They are even thinking about putting in apologies for C&B as he may not be out!!!

On the good news Trina gets her bike Monday!!!!

[jmk]

Oh Bugger bugger bugger (saying it politely of course for Dave) :rolleyes:

Hope they are going to feed him up tonight then

[WhatThe???]

thats alot better than what I said lol, and Dave coz we were meant to be going to visit his mum on sunday in Rotorua coz shes just had a hip replacement.

But I noticed a lady had her leg amputated recently, possibly this morning so they do have other ops, but his will only take 30mins. FFS!!!

I may take my broke-ass down to the C&B for a couple of drinks, its better then drinking alone as I have been doing the last couple nights. God Damn parking fees omg $4.50 for 2hours then $7.50 for 5 hours not to mention the $6.50 for town this morning. But I can still come out yay! Will see what happens :)

[jmk]

Would be nice to see you tomorrow night :hug:

:shit: For parking just an option you are welcome to park here or at the base and catch the orbitor up there much easier parking and works out a hell of a lot cheaper (I know cause have to go to the hospital quite a bit with mum)

Hope they gave him a descent feed (well as descent as hospital food goes lol)

[WhatThe???]

o ok what does that charge? ive never taken the bus lol

yup they fed him real good :)

[jmk]

$2.60 each way but the ticket is valid all Hamilton buses for 2 hours, this is the orbitor http://www.ew.govt.nz/Regional-services/Passenger-transport/Hamilton-routes/Orbiter/

How was Dave tonight, I had forgotten we had to go out to Ngaruawahia to take Miss 11 to camp

[WhatThe???]

hes ok but is getting very sick of waiting and wants to come home. He was really looking forward to tomorrow night

[wysper]

Unfortunately for him his injury is not life threatening so he will get bumped from theatre every time there is a car accident or more serious injury.

I know what that is like. It really sucks. I hope by now he has been operated on!

I hope I catch up with a few of you tonight. I will be having to leave early because of the kiddies.

[slofox]

Can anyone remember the website that is like Quikmaps but calculates distances as well? Coz I sure as hell can't find it......

Have a nice ride tomorrow all and be safe. I have things to do so will not be along but will do a little pootle of my own early in the morning...(which is why I want distances......)

Hey Everyone,

Last night was great to see everyone, we all look quite different without our leathers :) We should go out for a couple of beers more often!

Today was a great ride although i was pretty buggered after swimming, by the end of the ride I was pretty much ready to faint, cleaned the bike and i will be doing absolutely nothing for the rest of the night :)

Anyways, thank you all for a great ride with brilliant company.

[SilentNinja]

Thank you all who came on the Vegus run today,Glad i meet up with you all again, Kinda a good thing i got to mobil first...i MIGHT have some cool photos, (not digital though)....we will see!!!
Was a great days weather and riding, Good day to jump in a freezing lake and become numb..before riding home.
As always, great bunch we have here, very funny to hang out with.
Look forward to next time.
P.S-- Ill get double ups printed of the "cool" photos i snapped today and pass them on !!!

[wysper]

Thanks Koz and Murray for a great route.

I was pretty buggered by the time I got home. Just in time to put the kids to bed. (I think i am going to be in trouble for how long I was out yesterday :crazy:)

Highlights

Mates on bikes
Kaimai climb
Roads around Karipairo
Swim in the blue lake

Low lights
Service at Wendys in Tauranga - some of us nearly died waiting.

All in all and excellent day out - ending up slightly in the shit not withstanding.

[HACHET]

Hey all good to here you all had a good time at the pub and the ride yesterday, I got home from my 3 day trip about 5, what an awesome weekend riding fantastic roads and weather good mix of people etc im absolutley shattered will put a map up and the route if anyones interested, my bike now needs a bloody good service inc chain, brake pads, clutch cable and more. glad too here dave is on the mend

In the Herald this morning in the side swipe column (backpage section one)

A HOME-made Tui-style billboard, spotted at Waikato Hospital, says: "Your operation is going to be done tomorrow - YEAH RIGHT."

Come on FESS UP who put it there????????

Hope you get the op today Dave - we all missed you and Krissie out on the run yesterday (for some reason seemed like a real long one but Paddy had us at 280km at TeRau????). Great to see you at breakfast time Krissie, keep smiling it must get better!!!

Lots of fun and really good roads yesterday. Trina especially enjoyed us all going through the lights at Rotorua together. She said the rumble sounded so cool!!!!!

[WhatThe???]

he has been told its this evening! but we will just see how it goes.

its great you guys had such a good day :) once I figure out how to get my bike out of the shed il come hehe.

Trina must be getting excited about getting her bike, today was it?

[SilentNinja]

Yer that was a very cool part of the ride, seeing all the bikes in nicely staggered positions on the road too, all moving together...Looked real cool from my view.

Also when Munta, Koz, Spazm, Squid, Paddy and Myself traveled down past Karapiro, over taking cars while still in staggered riding....twas a great thing to see!!!!

[Murray]

yea that was cool.. kinda feels like your hunting down cars. you see them at a distance then all gather in to the car and all start passing etc. really enjoy that a!!

all in all was a great ride that lake was awesome!! ans the road from tga to vegus is wicked ive never seen it before. its very very cool. like all of you i was buggered at the end of the ride.. pretty much hit the couch and was asleep.

liked the pics gene. rom kindly pointed out that i was on the wrong side of the road! :shit: hahaha

[WhatThe???]

lol thats true

So how many ended up doing the ride on Sunnyday?

We'll be missing the ride yet again this Sunday due to a "wedding". Not happy! The ride to Pukky was average and some people are friggin meat heads!!

So when will be the last ride before christmas? Are we "going on holiday" and starting up again after new years? Or are we going to fit a ride in between Christmas and New Years? Why is the earth an egg shape and not round? Why isn't the sky green? And why, when you tilt your head to the left and close your right eye, does Munta look like Wembly off Fraggle Rock?

There were 9 or 10 bikes at the lake, and i forgot to do the photo thing :confused: ah well.. next time.

I did a calendar thing for this week, quite a few of us want to do the starship hospital run so i put that down. Also put down a route that will have us go down '22 on to raglan for coffee & icecream but it could be a bit much all in one day.

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&ea=attend&e=1793

Looking at the coro loop on the 21st and there was talk of people getting together for some track visiting from the 26th.

I am going away on the 28th to be back on the 10th hopefully with enough energy left over for a ride on the 11th :) I will probably be well out of internet range for my trip but i will drop in here when i can.

[Mr. Rock]

I recorded an hour and 25 mins of video on our trip.. When i got home i found out that a bug had screamed kamikaze and exploded all over the lense and i didn't notice.

It wasn't till just now that i figured out that this happened only 5 minutes and 9 seconds into the ride!! :third:

Yup!! its very annoying because hes had to get someone over from Aussie to cover for him, that guy has missed his anniversary and other things he had to go to.

Yeah its pretty crappy aye :(

Although I think its going to be a little more than a half hour op, the impression i got from dave is that he's going to need a couple of bones in his hand and wrist wired together along with the plates in his forearm.

Hopefully it gets done soon

Yea thats right, hes going to have wire poking out his wrist. Well hes been put off again so hes on the phone to his mum to see if she can do something to get him in over at Rotorua or the private one she went to. But then he'd have to pay for it bla bla....Not really much point coz hed still have to wait for a ridiculous amount of time. Now we're all just getting pissed off.

I told him to keep hassling the doctors so they do it just to get rid of him :P

[mister.koz]

Yea thats right, hes going to have wire poking out his wrist. Well hes been put off again so hes on the phone to his mum to see if she can do something to get him in over at Rotorua or the private one she went to. But then he'd have to pay for it bla bla....Not really much point coz hed still have to wait for a ridiculous amount of time. Now we're all just getting pissed off.

I told him to keep hassling the doctors so they do it just to get rid of him :P

Ha! yeah that might work :)

[wysper]

Man that sucks for dave.. what ward is he in again? I will try and get up to visit him. What are the visiting hours?



And on another note.

Is there any interest for shorter rides? I only ask cos on a ride like Sundays, I was away for most of the day, which means my better half has a long day with the kiddies.

So if there were a few of you interested in maybe doing a shorter ride time wise with maybe less stops along the way I would be keen to look at that.

Even the charity run this week would mean that I left home at ten and probably wouldn't be back till after 4.

So if there is anyone keen can you pm me or put a message in the social club.

Maybe even if the powers that be - Murray and Koz could maybe consider a shorter ride sometime that would be cool. Otherwise I think I will have to drop my attendance down to much fewer rides. I know I have missed several already LOL

[WhatThe???]

actually pissed off is definatly not the words id like to use haha...

im going to go and get him, he wants to come home and do a few things and is craving maccas lol

[WhatThe???]

Ward 6 Bed no 3 I think you can visit anytime between about 10 am to 8 pm

I think yes to shorter rides, maybe alternate weekly longer ride/shorterride/longer ride etc. Kawhia's always good for a shorter ride and would be good to try and arrange maybe a BBQ or something after the shorter rides

Will discuss

i hate hospitals.. they are all average.. hope they get there act together asap

She's hoping for the weather to clear for more carpark fun tonight.

Aye, its a good little tavern judging by the one time I was there. Would like to be there on weds only its flat shopping night (read, 3 guys running around pack n save making racing car noises and using the trollys as a scooter) :scooter: :lol:

[ckai]

Yup!! its very annoying because hes had to get someone over from Aussie to cover for him, that guy has missed his anniversary and other things he had to go to. And he needs to get home to organise a trainee to come and do the work along with everything else that he needs to do that I cant do for him....

Wow things have changed since I've last been in hospital for anything. The only thing that delayed my op was me having a glass of lemonade straight after my fall. Delayed me for 6 hours while it settled then I was straight out the next day.

I don't even think Brooke waited that long for her ankle (6 pins, 2 plates). She only got bumped because an inconsiderate pregnant women needed a c-sec. That was in Rotovegas though.

This may sound a bit drastic, but I would recommend contacting the Waikato Times and telling them. Give them this angle, are the doctors punishing him for being a biker, is there that much of a serious money shortage and how much money is this costing tax payers by not getting him in and out sooner. Yes, it's a little bit more complicated then an in and out but not that much more and it'll be costing about $400/day to keep him in, not too mention ACC wage loss compensation.

The only reason I suggest this, is more people should know what's happening and if no one says anything, nothing gets done (new government you know :)). Just my view. You're not bitching, you just want answers that reporters have a knack of uncovering :) They may not even care though. Worth a try. Most probably won't get the op done quicker but he'll be set for next time ;)

BTW Once he's out, he'll most probably be dropped to the bottom of the list. You need to cause ruckess every day and really start getting on their case.

[Mr. Rock]

that sounds like a fair idea, you are a clever cookie:niceone:

[mister.koz]

just got a text from krystin, looks like she is takin him home tonight and the surgery is sheduled for 9am tomorrow (all going well)

Perfect, now you can give Brooke and I the low-down and what you did :) Will pick your brain the next time I see ya. And all you other fella's that have done it recently. I thought we'd better start getting used to doing things "their way" since we're aiming for a January sit.

Who's going to the tavern tonight? Apart from Murray of course

PS good stuff man.

Ohhhhhhh your right, bloody good call.:banana:

[Mr. Rock]

i will be there.. might leave me wallet at home *cough cough*

[ckai]

I thought I'd share this with all the other noobs amoung us. It's about countersteering and I saw it from a recent thread on here. A little technical at the start but the demo explains it all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C848R9xWrjc

I found from racing pedal bikes for years I did it naturally without knowing. I was also taught/explained a brilliant way of countersteering at the recent trackday. They didn't tell us to push with our inside hand or anything. They just told us to do two things and it automatically made you countersteer without even thinking (which is perfect for me).

If the reason why you countersteer in the vid still doesn't gel with ya (technical) it just makes riding corners a lot smoother, easier and safer (oh and faster :))

I believe that was in the previous management meetings, recorded in the minutes somewhere it says that people who get their restricted license have to shout for the wednesday night drinks!

Thanks dude, thats a really cool video, its amasing how you can learn the same thing over and over and get something out of it every time...

[Mr. Rock]

two things...

[HACHET]

woop woop proud owner of a restriced licenece


Well done man does this mean your gonna get even faster on the road

[Mr. Rock]

i dont think sooo.. maybe.. once the new tires are on i could be a little faster tho.

[ckai]

And the two things were ????????????

The master of suspense and bed time stories!!!!!


two things...

To be honest I couldn't be assed typing it out and it's easier to show but since you asked so nicely...

We were told....

You see what I'm doing?...

:) Pretty much to drop your inside shoulder into the corner and get the inside elbow out. The shoulder thing is like shoulder barging someone. The way I thought about it, the elbow thing helps bring the body forward into the turn and puts pressure on the inside bar i.e. countersteering without knowing. I thought doing these two things was the easiest way to get someone to countersteer without going into the details.

It also gets you to lean into the turns and flowing around the corner. Add a bit of knee action and you're sliding your knee around corners. Easy :)

[ckai]

i dont think sooo.. maybe.. once the new tires are on i could be a little faster tho.

haha the standard tyres are fine! There's nothing wrong with backing it into corners ;)

[mister.koz]

haha the standard tyres are fine! There's nothing wrong with backing it into corners ;)

Yeah i think i will just stick to using sticky tires and not backing it in :) (on the road anyways) good luck with that :niceone:

[Dargor]

I thought we'd better start getting used to doing things "their way" since we're aiming for a January sit.

Unless you've already booked, you better change your schedule for feb. They go on holiday for a long time. That's how it was for me earlier this year.

Cool. What time is everyone gonna be there/until tonight? I'm trying to get Brooke to go for a little ride around some twisties after. I would say we would make it a reasonably early night since we have to get to the airport at 6am tomorrow to drop off the last puppy (flying to sunny Nelson).
