Seems my main issue was bad technique (nobody saw that coming right??)

Once I got about 20cm's off one side I pulled the rear of the tire towards me and was able to easily slide the rest off.. Ahhh, the sweet smell of learning

Sounds like a nice flexy one.... Some you have to work for ages. Glad you got it. Have fun on the 42nd.

Hey Mike i always start with 3 irons

and i also use crc for the lube, but theres a tire thread where all can be answered.
theres a few of us around so if ya get stuck one of us could pop round, be warned my xr rims are marked to f#ck from my tire changing

so whats this 42nd ride.... kaituna and others are keen to get down there at some stage, could be a chance to hook up down there

Well we could meet in Pirongia at the gas station around 9, head over towards Kawhia then south down the coast. Haven't ben that way before so open to any route.

I've got Peter Starr turning up on Sunday, so I might take him for a ride.

Peter is a film director who did Take it to the Limit and other cool stuff about motorcycles.

Been off line for a while, only to come back and read all this bleating and bitching.

Seems there has been far to much posting time and not enough riding time.

Im Broken, thats my excuse whats everyone else`s

Need to see some actual ride reports, so I can live vicariously through you all

Keen for a beer one night if you are organizng a get together - Oscar or Eddie.
Perhaps we could get a few local ADVers along to the next HMCC meeting ???

It seems to have settled down apart from Kieth and the ADVRider Reject from Akld still trying to get a rise.
Pretty boring, actually.

The HMCC meeting was last Thurs (two for one beers at the bar!!!).
How's about getting together at the pub next week?
Friday after work(sucks)?

No worries dude. Yea think I'll still head out. Next time.

MXNUT has a new bike, got rid of the Husqvarna and gone Orange....
Nice one....
Bet you got heaps for the trade......NOT!

Or do you still have it buried in the garage with the DR...

500 kms my arse......Especially the way you ride 'em
And I owned after Dino...try riding a 1000 km day around the east Cape......You might need it.
