The following Youtube links show a guy using a clamp and pressure pack can of cable lube.

Was able to get mine done this morning and is pretty straight forward, but it is a bit of a messy job. Tip put an old towel or bucket on the ground beneath where you are holding the cable and injecting the lube.

I got my clamp from Motormart for $15, it is a singe screw, not the two screw one shown in the clip

I can hear the mantra "Throttle, Front, Clutch, Rear" and starting out from the Basic Handling Course I practised and practised.

Thursday 6th March:
I decided to go for a reflective ride over the Rimutaka Hill RH up to Greytown across to SH53 then a small loop circuit before returning to Featherston and over the RH and home. 150km non-stop and 2 hours duration.

I focused on two things:

1. Recently my brother-inlaw 'Stevedee', we ride regularly on the weekends, I followed him on Kawasaki Z750 and Johnnie on his Ducati Paseo on two separate occasions. Firstly, Steve was going very smoothly ...

This last spring and summer saw the introduction of my fourth bike since May 2006. I got my current bike, CB900 Hornet, in August 2007. With the Givi screen, well recommended, and the Oggie Knobs this bike has served me well and approaching 15,000km and a set of tyres back at 9,500km, I am more than satisfied with the bike and my level of riding ability.

Though I have clocked 40,000km since May 06, there is never a day goes by that I do not reflect on two or more things when I ride. ...

A ride over the Wainuiomata Hill and out to the coast, then back to Petone foreshore. A spectacularly calm evening.

4 Riders: Russell, Mike, Chris, and Guy
