Dedicated to the memory of Uncle B. Though numerous kilometres have passed by, each bike transition has been handled with care and respect: “Buck – Where Are You Riding? Buck – How Are You Riding? And Buck – Why Are You Riding Like That – Right Now?” I endeavour to maintain a constant discipline when riding and if things start to fall outside the norm I ask myself those three questions. The key point being self discipline, ride within ...
Yes, the VFR does 170kmh! And up a slight incline too. The photo here is of the back of a taxi. Almost every second taxi here has one of these stickers on the back, and they really piss me off. Roughly, it says: (Caution) Motorcycles! Two-wheeler accidents! Frequent/numerous And that's it - no particular mention as to the purpose of the sticker or any basis to the claim it presents. It seems that ...
Yesterday, Sunday took the 'Strom' off to Waihola in the late afternoon dodging showers to meet up with Dunedin KBer's for tea to celebrate a 21st. Approaching Milton a large cumulonimbus cloud was dropping wet stuff on the hills between Milton and Waihola. So I hung a left and did a quiet side trip up into the Manuka Gorge. It was wet in there and the going was slow, wet road, some gravel piles left after the recent spate of gravel spreading to mitigate the frosts and the fact that ...
So, i own a 2000 model rgv150, in my opinion an underated bike which many people pass off as being slow and crap compared with fxr's, rg150's,kr150's etc,but is it so??? as the site link below may tell you and i am going to tell you- suzuki rgv150-26.5hp @9500rpm-the site is on average is 3hp high when compared with magazine rwhp dyno tests, so rear wheel power is probably around 23rwhp. site link- http://www.motorbikes.be/en/Suzuki/1999/RGV%20150%20Megatone/ ...
This last day started early in Shellharbour with a trip back down to the harbour to see what the pelicans were up to. They were sitting waiting for the fishermen to finish work and come fishing. I did find surfers and boogie borders enjoying the 2m plus surf. On the road I had the thought that I needed to be careful on the last day of this bike hire trip. The morning ride was through the suburbs and cities of Port Kembla, Wollongong, Bulli, Coledale and the great engineering newness ...

Company was great with many laughs, happy birthday Jack. The venue ideal, meal was good, yes, very good to meet you all. We must do it again. Half way home I got smacked by a southerly with SNOW showers at Stoney Creek, Brrrrrr! See you all again. Cheers.
I've had to do a few late nights at work this week as my co-worker, Lynn is away for two weeks and I'm having to cover the accounts as well as processing so it hasn't left much time for anything else. After last weeks marathon ride and with crappy weather forecast, I was quite happy not to ride this weekend as I was supposed to head up to Taupo for the Ulysses Remembrance Run but we also had a 60th birthday to go to. On Saturday, a day that saw high winds cause the Rimutaka Hill to ...
