The end keeps coming off my pipe !!!
Sure sounds bigger than it is now :-(
Anyone else had this problem?
Bought bike with a disk riveted onto end of muffler, re-riveted it couple of weekend ago, lost it on motorway, guy making new one for me and will try bolting on... Ideas please :-))

I went to Taupo on the weekend just been for a track day here is sessions 1. Unfortunately the blog won't let me embed any more video's so here are the rest: http://www.youtube.com/user/xbiggestbossx?feature=watch . It's just a bit of fun really and I'm not particularly good at following lines, downshifting (when going that fast!), and generally just riding a motorbike in general lol. I fitted the Go Pro to the side reflector on my bike which seemed to be a really good location. It picked up the ...

 


What a great way to end an excellent summer full of riding.

Thursday evening was the last of the Honda Twilight Ride Days. It's only 3 sessions but it's also really cheap.

Early on Thursday it was looking extremely dodgy with steady rain until about 10:00am, with light rain until about 1:00pm and then the sky cleared. By 4:30pm the roads were bone dry and perfectly clean. It was warming up so the track was ...

Finished looking around the classic car show at the Te A racecourse by 11.30, so decided to take the scooter for a run.

So nerrrd inspired me to start thinking about possibly camping when I go on my trips. It's hard trying to plan trips around where I can stay for free! Tent etc gives you more freedom, well that's the plan anyway...

So anyway I got this bag: http://www.kathmandu.co.nz/packs-and....html?___SID=U ...

So last weekend I decided to supplement my reading about other people's motorcycle touring trips and have a go at a short trip of my own.

I've always liked the 'idea' of camping, and managed to buy a tent and self inflating mattress on special on Saturday, took a look at the map and decided it was a relatively straight run to Napier from Auckland.

Wasn't sure I was actually going until Sunday morning when I headed south with a minimum of planning. Here's some observations ...

OK, so, we're all into motorbikes, right? And we're (at least some of us) tough mofos, yes?

And NZ has terrifying child abuse stats, correct?

So, READ THIS. RIGHT NOW.

Please. Maybe we can all do something to help...
