We got in trouble for you guys taking up all the parking spots down the driveway. So from here out, people will have to park up on the street, or across the field in the RSA parking (or come on a bike).
MotoGP France this Tuesday (If I can get the races in time)

...people will have to park up on the street, or across the field in the RSA parking (or come on a bike).
Only the gixxer riders are hardcore enough to bring bikes instead of cages :bleh:

[Hellzie]

If we have to park up the top of the driveway, then might as well walk from our place. :banana:

Ps. Sorry for getting you in trouble.

We're on for MotoGP Round 4 - Le Mans, France for tomorrow.

Nice looking woman with you Justin, I assume she's the lucky fiancee??

As for riding on the road with the swarm, I'd need to get some special stickers for little scoot... Which, long story short, because she's been stuck in storage while I've been road tripping in places where everyone drives on the other side of the road, she needs a special inspection too. Bugger. Last registered 2009. Oops.

I'm skipping the ride tonight, feeling a bit knackered (must be showing my old age!) - I think working on Gremlin's bike must have exhausted my reserves of sanity and patience! :innocent:

I know, I'm sorry; I feel dirty. It's a bit more exciting on a wider track where they can actually overtake. But they could definitely cut the number of laps in half.

So next tuesday is superbikes?
edit: hahaha just realised I can't come next tuesday anyway, since I have to do all of the baking tuesday night to take to work on wednesday since I get back from Napier late monday night - so will have to miss this round

Question:
Is an O ring chain okay on a 900cc sports bike?
Looking to replace the sprockets and chain shortly, pricing up an O ring chain, but some people suggest an X ring for a 100+hp bike.

Thinking of just getting the parts from Cycle treads and having a bash myself.

Saw half the WSBK last night, looks like a really exciting race.
Saw the F1 this morning, will not give away anything this time, but made for a fantastic race.

[TOTO]

yea man , o ring chain is sweet as. X ring will just last longer but o- ring is what they come out from the factory with even the new superbikes (most anyway)

[baffa]

Sweet. Any chance I can get you to source the parts for me whilst you're at work? Gonna need a chain tool as well be the looks.

went for a ride with Wanpo and Damian, and the GN chain came off, and one of my indicators vibrated off too. So I ended up taking the bitch pad and giving awesome wanpo some honda man cuddles. :)

We rode straight home, then jumped in Todd's van and headed back to rescue Ginny from the side of the road. Apologies to Dave for the short ride.

Have to say the last thing I thought I'd have to do last night was take Todd as a pillion. Can't have been a comfortable ride for him; he was sitting on the tail cowl.

[gijoe1313]

Wait, this is the same van that failed a WOF and racked up fines? Is it all fixed up now? :scratch:

Oh what a shame, I won't have time to go for a run tonight then. :woohoo:

[Gremlin]

No talking about Hornets for a while so I'll get it back on topic :D

Went in for new rear pads and rear tyre on Saturday, walked out without the bike... apparently the sprocket bearings fell apart when taking the rear wheel off, and the bearings for the wheel itself probably weren't far behind...

Rang Botany Honda shortly before midday, they'd sourced the parts they didn't have and it was all done :love: Can you argue with service like that?

Only took 105,000km for it to fall apart... disgusting really...

[Hellzie]

What is a Hornet? :facepalm:

[baffa]

Saw some of the wsbk last night. Fantastic racing!

[gijoe1313]

And speaking of more things Hornet, my Big Ol'Hornet has had an attack of the lekky gremlins! No engine turn over, just lots of relay clicky noises from the lekky systems! :pinch:

Will do the easy fixes and diagnostics first! :sweatdrop

Since we're on the topic of posting pics related to last nights racing viewing, here's one I found of Mrs Melandri, aka Manuela Rafaetta.


Mrs Melandri looks a bit vacant.... :msn-wink:

I was just kidding. My comment is one that we heard last night from one of the WSB commentators. One of the commentators last night seemed to be critical of everything.

weather looking good. with a bit of luck I should have a facelifted bike to ride tonight.

on second note I'm told that the MotoGP is the one to watch ...

[gravedigger]

I wish I could come... :weep:

...maybe next week though :woohoo:

[TOTO]

nice weather for a ride today...:)

[Interceptor]

nice weather for a ride today...:)

Agreed, first Monday in ages!

Unfortunately for me I am not feeling too well and also suffering from a lack of sleep so while I would like to go for a ride tonight (can't remember the last time I went on a Hornet Swarm) I think it is probably best that I stay at home. Hopefully can join you guys for the video night on Tue.

[TOTO]

hmmmm... i wonder if the qulifying is on...eh WANPO ?

[wanpo]

hmmmm... i wonder if the qulifying is on...eh WANPO ?

Only have qualifying for MotoGP; Moto2 and 3 qualifying haven't been released. (However all 3 races are very close to finishing, so full steam ahead for tomorrow.)

I'm watching the Formula 1 tonight at my brother's place, so I'm out for the swarm as well. Will drop by the library around 6:30 and say hi to anyone who's brave enough for the ride.

[gale_wolf]

Mondays are still out for me and I can't make Tuesday night either this week :weep:

[wanpo]

ah balls, I didn't look closely when I started getting the races and ended up with another set of the Assen races.

MotoGP should be done for tonight, but I can't even find the moto3 or 2 yet

[Hellzie]

Have fun tonight people. Unfortunately we can't make it as we will be jet setting to Rarotonga. :banana::cool:

See you all in a couple of weeks!

[baffa]

Monday evening and no posts in this thread. I am disapoint.

I have a 3 day weekend coming up, and the forecast says it will only be mildly miserable. If anyone here can remember how to ride, Ill probably be doing something along the lines of the coro loop this friday.

[wanpo]

Sweet. Sorted for MotoGP tonight, 7pm start. Only have the GP, no moto3/2.

Started the morning off on the wrong foot this morning; had a small off on Suzy. Mixture of overconfidence and less than perfect road conditions/tyres. Not that I'm making excuses, but it was totally the marshalls' faults.

[gijoe1313]

A small off? Hope you didn't damage yourself! I guess it's a reminder that even small bikes can bite you! :doh:

[wanpo]

A small off? Hope you didn't damage yourself! I guess it's a reminder that even small bikes can bite you! :doh:

Yeah, came away mostly intact. Picked Suzy off the tarmac and she fired straight back up. Indicators seem to have taken almost the entirety of the impact (and they still work), with just a small mark left on the tank.

I'd just arrived at work this morning and saw him riding up our local set of chicanes... he returned a wee bit sooner than I'd expected him to.

Suzy isn't Cammy!

Luckily there was a trauma team on hand that patched him up after his off... and as is typical of bikers his only concern was for the bike, which shrugged off the low-side pretty well.

Well done that GN.

I'm thinking I'll shift Bike night to Wednesday, as it's getting tricky trying to source the races in time (especially for the coming American stages where time zones are even further out)

[baffa]

Congrats Mikey, she looks good. The pillion seat cover makes me think of a hayabusa.
I take it she was a fair bit cheaper than that CBR600 you were looking at? I still cant get over how tiny modern 600s are nowadays.

Mike is that Clint's old bike? Nice one! :2thumbsup

Ok so clearly you all like the idea of Timmeh riding bitch.. here it is.... unfortunately you can't actually see the scoot in the photo, but by Timmeh's face, you definitely get an impression of how much he trusts my riding (and my ability to concentrate on the road ahead...)

Or at all. The place I've gotten all the races from up to this point is no longer releasing any. So Wed this week will be the latest SBK if I've managed to find it (not holding my breath) otherwise it'll be last week's Moto3/moto2

When did it break out? If it was Tuesday last week or before then yoyu should not be contaigous. I havn't been vacinated or had it so will keep away from you this week if it broke out after last Tuesday.

I noticed it on wednesday last week, it hasn't scabbed yet, so apparently I'm still in the contagious phase.

I guess Wanpo gives truth to the "filthy biker scum" epithet now! :scratch: Geez, shingles, how'd ya get it in the first place? You been hugging leprous virus carriers? :crazy:

[wanpo]

After having chickenpox, the virus lies dormant. When your immune system is low, it can re-manifest itself.

I had a cold last week, and probably an abrupt change in diet (I decided to ditch the low-carb thing until I was better) and stress etc let it come and play.

Isn't that caused by mumps? So chickenpox causes it too eh, nasty.

Yeah, but normally you get a measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination when you're young (I think), so thankfully they are less likely.
