Posted in the forums, putting here as an easy to find record. Tyres fitted @ 14k (4.5k after buying bike) Metzler ME 880 WWW Ok so the sun was out today but it was a little chilly. Wrapped on a couple of merino layers, waited for the Moll to put her war paint and layers on and off we scooted. A nice slow pootle down SH1 over tar hill and onto SH30. Not much traffic, but taking it easy, because for some reason I now had it in my head that the tyres were to a point of ...
Wow, the weather has been amazing. I rode my motorcycle on a 6 hour road trip (straight and flat like you would not believe) to the french part of canada to visit some friends and family...and that's where the fun started. I got out playing on a 998cc Can-Am Spyder for 4 hours in the mountains. It handled very differently from a motorcycle....the steering in corners was much more like riding a snowmobile or a quad. The braking was amazing as the computer tells the ABS brakes what needs to happen ...
I finally got around to sitting my restricted test yesterday, I'd put it off for so long that it had started to become a big brick wall standing in front of me! I can't believe it took me so long, but at least I didn't let my learners licence get wiped off my licence altogether. I was so nervous that I would stall, wobble or not stop properly at an intersection. I practised around the streets surrounding the testing point that I thought might be used in the test, and I read up on ...

What day have you decided on ??? Good luck. We tried last weekend from the Katikati side and only got about 1.5km before we can across this rather large series of bogs, 50 -60 m with no way around with what seemed like a bottomless abiss. Over the boots and still going down. As we were going to ride there and back we decided ...

Anyone out there who has shied away due to the metal that used to greet you should have another peek. the newly sealed ...
We met on the Paihiatua track turnoff at the Antiques shop - a Kawazaki er6n, two aquillas, two shadows, a trumpy and of course a harley, you can't really go anywhere in NZ without one of them showing up We left just after 8am, and set off down highway 57 in dismal - need your wet weather gear - rain. By the time we hit the gorge the weather was looking a bit brighter, and the traffic was minimal. The gorge was fairly good this day (stuff-all grit on the road) and the Harley ...
So I get her home in the van; what a mission almost dropped it off the plank getting it into the van and getting it out. What can I say, it looked so bad but I knew it could be so good. I had been spending literally every minute I should have been studying working out how much it would cost to bring it to perfect condition. $2000 max I reconed. After posting on KB I knew the Rectifier was fucked, so I couldn't really ride it without fucking up the battery. Someone ...
