Oi?? thats NOT food related info.

Apologies for my off topic post, back on topic then.

I did have a great Chicken and Roast veg salad at the Black stump or whatever it's called, didn't take any pics of it though

It is the new Gixxer can, the fuelling is a bit flat given the better flow with the larger 40mm outlet over the 32mm of the TL1000 can that came off, so I might have to raise the needle 1 slot or something. It's shorter and lighter and sounds deeper.

Jen is loving the new smaller steed. We need to shift the old one now which has everything fitted to it, bashplate, IMS tank, bar risers, aftermarket seat, 12v outlet on the dash, screen, rear rack, tail tidied, Cycleworks exhaust, handguards.

Brings back warm fuzzy memories of my old DR. Same tank and colour. Miss that bike.

This is the 650? Price wise for the old girl? - The DR of course...

The DR650 has a spark issue at the moment which I believe is caused by the ignition coil and the WOF has expired and rego lapsed as other things in life keep getting in the way. I was going to advertise it at $4500 all going, but as it needs ~$400 spent on to fix, WOF and get the rego going again if it someone wanted take it off my hands and sort it themselves I'd let it go for $4k.

There's been some discussion about it here, it has new plugs and plug caps too: http://www.adventureridingnz.co.nz/f...me-fault-find/

Quick ride from Raglan to Ruapuke to take advantage of the great evening. Great weather and perfect conditions.

Okay, I'll hold you to that Maybe a proper mission in late January? I fitted a laser produro exhaust to my bike so now you will hear me a mile away. My original twin system was all rusted and had a major blow out where the headers join the rear system. Sounds bloody cool now, although a bit obnoxious. I like obnoxious though. Suits my personality.

nothing like a big red obnoxious Honda

Dodgy? Guess they don't appreciate a thumper but would rather have a Toyota Corolla with out a manifold...
