Good write up Koro - congrats on another biggie!
No worries about loosing me: it was my bad management / luck: hell, I normally get 330+ out of a tank, I ran out at 270 and that included 1/2l from the extra reserve under the seat. Anyway... who would want to do a GC and not have a good story to tell ;-)
Has anybody realised the major blunder in ACC's stats yet ? If a motorcycle and car have an accident it is classed as a motorcycle accident, but there's also a car involved. yet it is not counted as a car accident aswell. If two cagers have an accident, it's only counted as a single accident, but theres two cars involved. Motorcycles are being singled out, and the statistics are out by a huge margin.
Waving it's arse at everything that moves. Just like her dad
Urgent message: Burp Need more greasies and Speights: Burp Trinni has been flirting with the scrambler: Burp Off spring would be a deformed Triumph with a split personality:Burp Please supply condoms, your bike is a slut. Belch. :-)
The previous owner pulled the conrod and piston out and had already split the cases to do that. So we're going to open it up and have a look and make sure it's not going to go bang the first time it's wound over.
Why so keen to split the cases ? Cam chain can be replaced without splitting. Sure if you want to look at the rings or piston, no choice. But I'd be inclined to leave it as one till you get completely carried away and start experimenting with your bob weights
Did you know ACC are withdrawing funding to motorcycle safety courses to save money? Call me crazy but I always thought prevention was better than cure
Theres a protest ride being organised down here in nelson on the 25th, We like to think we'll have 600+ bikes going to visit Nick Smith. Everyone welcome to come and show some support. Why not come down for the long weekend I'll let you know when I have more details.
Thanks Sam, I like your submission amd will take you up on using it for my own submission, some of it anyhow.
1100 push bike accidendts resulting in 48 deaths. 1400 motorcycle accidents resulting in 50 deaths. Would "they" even think of charging push bike rides ACC? Please write to your local member of parliament, to the minister of ACC Nick Smith FREEPOST C/o Parliament Buildings, Wellington
Well said!We can only hope those who we must obey(?) take heed of your very correct comments.I already have many bikes and cars "on hold" and will continue to do so.
