I was getting worried for the mental gixxa's safety there for a second :stupid: then realised twas just a bit of backyard maintenance. Gotta luv that axle stand - a.k.a. tree stump!

Been fairly quiet up here, we don't :scooter: unless it's blue skies and less than 2 knots cross wind :spanking:

anyone riding this weekend? weather looks good...if insurance doesn't sort my bike out i'm ordering the parts and fixing it myself...sick of waiting

I am in, but it is dependent on Saturdays unpacking, also the amount of sleep I will get on Sat night, and if I have adjusted my chain by then.

Another 1000km and I have not adjusted my chain!!! and its a bit more lose then I want it to be. I think a longer chain is the resualt of last Sundays short fangings.

Oh it also needs a clean, heaven forbid I take it out on a Sunday ride without a wash first.

Yeah I found it in a paddock so according to my theory it counts as a paddock stand. :done: We've been having some mint days down here, hardly ever icy in the mornings anymore. Cant wait to get the gixxer all back together and go for some nice gently putts through the spring countryside :jerry:

For a smoother ride & better wear on your tyre, check these out.

if they were that good they would be used in racing when you dont have the time to balance a tyre

From Q & A section in the States :

Can I use Dyna Beads for motorcycle road racing?

No. The inner liner compound of motorcycle road racing tires is too soft to allow Dyna Beads to perform properly. (this does not apply to off-road motorcycle racing)

signs 16/20 - couple I didn't know
Accident 18/20 - a bit difficult with the lane staff being the wrong side

[Leyton]

I got 10/10 for the signs :) And 15/20 for the other one, Hard working backwards on yanky roads

[smoky]

I reckon our roads would be safer if we took all the road signs down (including road names)
No one would get distracted reading them
Everyone would feel a bit lost and be paying far more attention to the road ahead
You would have to approach every intersection with caution to see if you had the right of way
there may be less accidents - and I bet there'd be more fights to watch

I quite liked the suggestion made somewhere that all drivers must ride a 50cc scooter for 6 months before getting their licence :laugh:

Haha 50cc I like that!

I vote Koz and Smokey for Minister of Transport.

Definately we can claim gas, tires (YAY!), parking and usage of our houses as a ligament expense of doing work. (while parking on the footpath)

We could go on long trips for days on end to "make sure everyone's doing their part to look after the roads"

I like the sound of that!

As the Minister of Transport for KB I would kick all those huge road buggering trucks off the road - any load over 5 tons would have to have a permit to be on the road - to get the permit they would have to prove that the load couldn't go by rail or ship first, or be broken down to seperate 5 ton loads.
they stuff up our road surfaces, corrugate up hill corners, create congestion of stupid plonkers who are too scared to over take, then they pull out and try to over take each other and use up all the double lanes.

then we could tell the Police to stop pulling people over for stupid infringements and target people who drive too slowly and don't pull over to the left, fine people who buy really cool cars and then drive like Grandad Walton, and we could get rid of the noise restriction on exhausts (just for Ian blat blat)

In the olden days, if you wanted to join the "Woodstock Gang" (whatever that was...) you had to walk over the arches of the Fairfield Bridge...I don't think you were allowed to ride over it though - that would have been cheating...

A bit different now days, and I would think walking over there would be a piece of piss.
But to ride your bike over it? You may be good enough to do it, but I can foresee a couple of outcomes
If you make it, it will still get general attention by the public, Police will be there by the time you get to the other end, if not they'll track you down, and the stunt has been so talked about that every one knows it will be you - it wont take them long to find you. Some people will take pleasure in dropping you in it.

or you come off (lest likely outcome), you stand a very high chance of you or your bike landing on someone and injuring them - then what
It's not like you'll be able to stop the traffic while you do your stunt

But hey - what do I know, terminal did it on BMX (I find that hard to believe actually) so it must be cool!!!

Once again the laxed out group are looking at this weekend in a laxed out manner. Trina and I may go for a pootle Sunday but as I have a brand new front tyre if any rain looks possible I will take the learned advice from the guys at Boyds and not ride. Possible that we will leave the Hotel about 11.00ish and head over to Te Aroha for coffee and some lunch and back via Matamata (it probably will rain then!!)

I may be wrong Mr Flux but the Honda rides are usually a bit of a speedfest with some very very good riders so it may or may not be the thing you are looking for???? Correct me if I am wrong Smoky or Warr!!

[The Flux Capacita]

I'm just looking for Sundays riders since my bike is ok but still needs stuff, working all saturday and not really keen on fast rides with only a 250...I'll hang round the hotel on Sunday and take it from there:)

be careful around Hunua/Kawakawa bay areas as the roads where hit fairly hard earlier this year from the weather, they were closed off & isolated for sometime & if they are open the surface may need to be treated with some respect particularly from Clevedon through to Hunua, unless someone has recently gone through there

Yeah that oughta teach em for starting a Triumph club :crazy:

[Spazm]

be careful around Hunua/Kawakawa bay areas as the roads where hit fairly hard earlier this year from the weather, they were closed off & isolated for sometime & if they are open the surface may need to be treated with some respect particularly from Clevedon through to Hunua, unless someone has recently gone through there

Thanks Insomnia.. i'll make a back up route for that section

[Spazm]

I think you should ride in a skirt. You asked for suggestions.

Noted... and DECLINED

[insomnia01]

Thanks Insomnia.. i'll make a back up route for that section


Alternatively if Kawakawa bay is still having roadworks completed turn left at Kaiaua service station follow this road through to SH2 then maybe turn off at Mercer head towards Pukekawa back roads to SH22 possible.... maybe ask in meetings/events threads if anyone up them knows how them roads are doing!!

I did Race Tech emulators and springs. I got them installed by Boyds under the direction of RT himself. Overall it did cost about $900.....

The emulators are cheap enough - the springs are expensive and the labour is too...hence the price. Took me months to clear the dreadit card...

Yes, I would. They spoke to RT about the job and did exactly as he told them. Have had no problems.

[insomnia01]

Boyds did my Ohlins on the RR of the BB ( looking at doing Fr over summer :niceone:), they have done many CKT jobs so should be relatively simple, even charged everything through Boyds so only had to pay them ( they where charged directly by CKT alot less hassle ) Maybe Talk to Dave at Boyds in the workshop he'll sort it for you

261km - google estimates 9 hours and 11 minutes running time!!!....FFS are they assuming horse and dray or summat?

[mister.koz]

Zactly, if you know the corner yeah but otherwise you only got what you had when you entered.

Yeah you get some interesting results on that with google, specially if you click "walking" hehe

Can you confirm that the route is sealed all the way or is there some gravel somewhere?
Also where do expect to be at lunch time?
Cheers

[insomnia01]

Yes great ride today, nice roads, half of them I didnt know existed which is shame for me as I have lived here for so long.

Good to also meet some of you guys, its great having a bike that can be ridden on the road as opposed to the restrictions of the race bike.

Will look forward to the next ride

cheers all


I see " Waikato hard ass bikers " are joining in on LOR rides

They were all sealed the last time i was over them last year and earlier this year

I'd expect a late-ish (approx 1pm) lunch at Te Kuiti

[slofox]

LOL... i don't even pay attention to that part anymore.. it's a waste of space :)

I reckon even I could do it in less than 9 hours 11 minutes....

[Dreamflyer]

cheers guys for the ride yesterday. had a blast as usual!
Going for a blat now down scotsmans valley :D

[Murray]

Yes, twas a excellent ride and route. Trina passes on her many thanks and really enjoyed it. Got back at 2.35, (5 minutes late for the netball) but that was all good. Sorry we couldnt join you for the stop in Clevedon. First time we have been there and it seemed to be a buzzing little town with lots happening.

Pity it doesn't have anywhere to eat!! What's up with that? Busy as hell and only 1 cafe and a fish and chip shop that we only noticed AFTER we got out servo pies! Oh well.

May come down for lunch at Te Kuiti - Tiffany's I hope
