Report posts like that one mate. The Moderators will then nail the spamming bastards and your blog will no longer be blighted by shit. Enjoying your build btw. Lots more detail on all of the posts would've been fantastic but it's still a fun and interesting project to follow.
EEeerrrmmmm, WHAT?
That was fast! Nice job too, looks like it was supposed to be that way.

Try your library, in Christchurch there's tons of them at the Central library, or failing that go on-line. The guy I bought my bike off gave me the manual on a pen drive. Also try your Honda dealer for the owners manual.
oh and by the way it was sun stroke that got me not the booze
WTF aye what, Gas from a XR600 must say she was sounding pretty sweet will be good to hear her opened up on the track. Job well done
Sounds like you are going to have an amazing time. Enjoy and ride safe
The person to talk to is F5Dave. He's the guru. I had a short chamber on an RD50 bucket racer I had back in 1988...be careful with the dimensions as they can be too peaky and hard to ride. Good luck
Fab article , very informative and a great read. Excellent points on knowing what is the right Helmet to suit your riding.
Great write up I will use this tool to help me install my hot grips (not Oxford but a good brand anyway)
Hmm 32psi is probably a bit low - have a look on the tyre sidewalls for recommended pressures but I ran 36F/42R on my 250 Hornet and the same now on the VFR, so that's probably a good start point. You'll definitely notice the difference. I find the bike feels totally different (in a bad way) once they drop more than about 5psi, so yeah, 29 on the rear it would have been squirming a bit. Have a good rest of the trip! Edit: just noticed the date you'll be back by now. Hope it was fun!
Nice positiivity!
Ok so which bikes do chicks drool over? I want one like that...
I want what you are smoking!!
Hey PegLeg, that was a really well written Blog, enjoyed reading that very much ! Question is, how many coffee's did you get through while writing it ? hahaha
I have KBC , But looking at the Sharp Rating it only got a 2. I was off around the Coro loop the next day, so decided to invest in a 4-5 rated helmet. I wandered all over Hamilton bike shops, back and forward finally found an AGV at Waikato Yamaha, rated 4 , felt great , had it 6 months now, & love it, Quiet, Light, Resin. It got a bit of flash Rossi design on it, but keeps an ol bugger like me young.
Good article and well written. I have only recently become interested in the Sharp rating system since gaining a new sponsor 'CABERG helmets.' These all have 5 star ratings, even the 'flip top' helmet they have. I wear one on the track racing and find the fit to be great for my head shape. Previously I wore a Shoei XR1000 which I loved too. Incidentally, although a 'big brand,' the XR1000 helmet only got a 3 star SHARP rating which surprised me!
Great work, to be honest I didn't give much thought to the helmet at the time other than fit and cost, probably common to new riders. Your article is food for thought, Thanks!
