    New here (GFP)

    Hi Guys, thought I should join up so I can pick your brains if needed, I live in Sydney where I have lived since 1998 but originally come from Chch,
    I have recently bought a couple of GN250's so I can do some touring when I'm in NZ I had been checking out trademe looking for a bike to buy that could take both myself and my G/f and kind of stumbled across the GN's and realised how cheap they are there ... seriously, for a GN in Oz in decent condition you'd be paying at LEAST A$3k. so I bought a couple and now instead of having tp Pillion the G/F around we can both ride (Slowly ) The whole idea is we would be riding to look around anyway so don't need a big bike to chew up the K's ..... Have I justified my Lunacy yet?
    anyway, looking forward to riding back in NZ, it's been too many years since my last ride there!

    Currently this is my Road ride in Oz, it's a 2012 Royal Enfield C5 Military (with about 5 more HP than a GN )

    Nice looking Enfield too. Brain damage is going to want to make babies with you.

    I was over last weekend and managed to get the bikes out between rain showers but now I have a couple of questions ....
    What tyre pressure should I be running front and back?
    What spark plug should I be running (and what gap) - they had different plugs

    Booked a flight over for December to ride for a week then we'll be back in April for 10 days to ride down to Warbirds over Wanaka

    Thanks for the input, are you always so helpful?

    The bikes are 2006 models if it makes a difference.
