The race exhaust turned up today. I was like a kid on christmas day opening it. It's so small and light in comparison to what I'm used to fitting. All I could keep saying to my wife was, "It's so cute." As soon as I had demolished my dinner I was in the garage fitting it to the bike. And WOW the noise was unreal. it's very well made, snaking up through the swing arm next to the rear shock and then up to the exhaust hanging mounting point on the frame. Where the muffler/expansion chamber ...
I’ve got to be honest, I am getting quite hooked on the idea of Bucket racing! I will be heading out to the non championship round at Mt Wellington on 18/19 of December to have a look and maybe even have a go if I can source all the required gear in time. (Cheers Henk!) What lead to this decision? Well a workmate and I were tossing the idea around at lunch and it got me thinking. . . The roads are too dangerous to try and get any real excitement and adrenaline out ...
I'm probably going to getting out to Hampton downs this Sunday if any one else is interested. That will wipe out those tyres ready and I can get some new ones for the 13th
Saturday 20th November is the third Saturday of the month, and accordingly, Botany Honda’s monthly ride. Pitching up at 1445, not a rider to be seen. A quick check with Richard and it appears it’s him and I. In that case, he can wait, so I head over to the gas station to get some gas. Upon returning, there is now a big group of bikes waiting… excellent, the trick of leaving and them thinking it’s safe has worked. The plan would be perfect if I was leading them to their demise, but alas, that’s ...
It is finally happening to come together. I had a play with the fuel mapping today setting it up as recommended from a friendly member at another website. i also had a play with the gear changer again. one of the connecting bolts was too long, allowing for too much movement. When changing gears so when changing down to first gear (which involves a fraction more movement than when changing down to other gears) there had been too much movement, stopping the gear change. I need to get ...

Yes, an over nighter without the men. the last one we had 16 lady riders, & we did the Coromandel Loop. Staying at Thames for the Friday & Saturday nights. What a blast. Fun had by all.

Saturday morning of the 13th of November rolls around. Up late as usual, I sort a few chores, once again not leaving at my planned time of about 10am. Midday and I’m finally cleaning visors and gearing up. 12.30pm and I’m fully fuelled and getting the hell out of Auckland. The intention today is for approximately 1000km, starting with SH22 and going through New Plymouth, Wanganui and then the Paraparas north through Te Kuiti and back to SH1 at Ngaruwahia. Exiting the ...
