Great write up.
Just the usual shennanigans ol'gremmies gets up to. Doesn't surprise me that he forgot something in the usual run up and sleeping in! I think the lad is starting to get the hang of this GC thang! Well done to all involved and even to those who didn't finish, after all, it is those who go out into the field to prove their mettle that makes them stand out from the rest!
Nice write up there fella, checked out your auxiliary tank when you checked in at Ashhurst, nice set up. Yes 14's do have good headlights. Sound by all accounts it was pretty hairy out Pongaroa way with the wind and all, thought you might have been one of the most vulnerable to the high winds, good job keeping it upright.
Awesome write up and congrats great to see you doing it in style
See... and so it begins. Soon you'll be shelling out heaps of moolah, and I shall be laughing!
Do not buy a new Duc...it comes with a Ducati aftermarket catelogue...buying the bike is cheap its all the bling ..... You bike looks nice
I am sure you will look back one day and remember it much better than it was lol , great read M8.
Bro. Those are the challenging days for sure, but I'm still jealous that I'm not doing it.
Just found and read your blog Smifffy, your read sounds a lot like our runs +1
This is the CDI I've built: http://www.siliconchip.com.au/cms/A_110499/article.html I don't know enough to know if it should work or not. Everything tests OK.
It wont be 350V. It could be 35.0 volts maybe. Could be 350mVA, as in 350mw of power consumption. But it definitely wont be 350V AC.

Absolutely pissed off this morning - but will probably serve me right for not checking! Bike is at good mechanics this morning for him to check, after following "Mom"s advice: 222km on clock, 3 k's outside Waikanae this morning - no warning, bike stops. switched to reserve - no start. check shows reserve was empty - my fault for getting "another mechanic" to service it - he said he'd drained all fuel, but also said he'd replaced - Reserve did not work! anyway - have found that main tank will give me 220km, so one problem solved. (3km feels a long way at 5.40am at side of SH1!)
cheers Mom! didn't know you cared ( or were a bike fan!)
