  1. BRM round 3



    Now that was a good weekend cos I learnt a hell of a lot.

    Saturday my wife and I rolled out of bed a bit later than we should've, buggered around for longer than we should've and generally dragged our arses. Neither of us wanted to get out of bed at such a ridiculous time, her because she doesn't ride bikes (working on correcting that particular failing but a fix is gonna take a while) and me because it'd been a long week. After I'd made us both a decent cup of coffee ...

  4. Only 2 chances this year to improve your riding at every track you ride on any bike

    Great your down for level 1 matey....... ill catch you there, you'll be amazed!
    Can this not be run at any other track? Taupo only books 6 months out and is a good track with various configurations... Suitably cheaper to hire too, and with good facilities in a central location.... just thinking out loud

  5. NOW stupid, not NWO

    More ramblings, heh...

    NOW is a "guide" for change. NOW is the New Ordered World. Suitably ironic?

    The current Government, and Governments past, have had access to every resource they require to "run" New Zealand and I believe that they do not get the maximum value from those resources in any way shape or form.

    In order to be financially competitive around the globe New Zealand must make the maximum use of all of its resources.

    To get ...

  6. Love/Hate Ducati ownership

    I've written about my love/hate relationship with the Ducati before, but it has reached epic proportions this time.

    Bike has 33,567kms on the clock.
    It is due a chain and sprockets, but thats not the kicker.
    It has had its starter rebuilt (yet only 32k when it was done? shit!) but I have been told that the high compression makes these motors harder on the starter to turn over.

    Now I love this bike to bits, even though I have tried selling it twice, I end ...
  7. Hornet reaches a milestone (19/01/2012)

    It’s been a little while coming, but was always thought of as an eventuality, rather than a possibility.

    Provided to me for work at the start of 2007, with 26,000km on the clock (she’s a 2005), she ticked over the 100,000km mark on Thursday. I know only of Toto’s Hornet (130,000km) and a courier’s Hornet (200,000km+) that have higher mileage. Bulletproof things they be.

    She’s proven to be incredibly reliable, low maintenance and excellent value for money. Tyres (Michelin ...

  8. Why does kiiwibiker have such a low level of technical support?

I've noticed on hills there seems to be a slipping clacking sound, is this normal? I've fallen off a few times now, mainly just loss of control more than anything,
