    Wellington it is a glorious day to get out there

    Thread Starter: F5 Dave

    Sorry in advance to those experiencing inclimactic weather. But Dogam! It is the perfect day to paint or trim trees or wash the car. Don't do any of those things. Don't even call a friend. Just get out there and ride while you can. You don't work all week to mow the lawn. I'm not...

    Michelin Road 6

    Thread Starter: SaferRides

    I fitted a set of these to the R1 last April. They've now covered 11,000 km during all 4 seasons and now is probably a good time to post a few comments. Like me, you may have assumed the Road 6 is simply an evolution of the 5, as they look similar. But they feel very different on the R1. The...

      AS Kick said, SOT has always beent the last weekend in Feb- very handy for moi because it falls on or near my birthday (instant guaranteed spousal approval).

      Results can be found on MyLaps, but not all results are there at the moment.

      Interesting reading I haven't been to the SoT or Ruapuna for over 20 years.
      The Norton Rotary mentioned wouldn't be the old ex police bike would it?
      I remember it blowing my old Bonnie away down the main straight.
      Pothole being the turn before the hairpin to my memeory that makes it the turn at the other end of the main straight, a corner formerly known as Rothmans. I know Ruapuna has changed as I've seen it whilst on short finals landing approach at Harewood airport.
      One particular memory I have of the SoT is being blown away by John Britten on his old cast iron Triumph 500, I thought how can any body ride that fast? A few laps later I saw him sitting on his laid down bike watching the rest of the race. So I was pleased to know that you can't ride that fast for a whole race. RIP John.
