L’s Angels Cape Reinga/90 Mile Beach Ride November 2013

[Maha]

Only a hazard for BMW riders!

See you all at Gull Whangarei on Friday morning.

I think he will miss the loop time....not showing up till Saturday sometime.

[Maha]

My leg you do pull, surely?

Star Wars: A Jedi master he was.

Will you two be here for tea on Thursday?

Was meaning to ask you about that. I leave work between 3 and 4pm these days so yeah, if you'll have us. Might even bring some goodies if I can get some baking done on Wednesday night.

How early is too early to turn up? Was thinking we may take the long way up as I don't get up SH16 much these days. Mind you, living a k or 2 from H22 makes up for it.

Only 2 bottles again

Peoples will have to drink in sips. Considering it is about 90% vodka.

90%!!... that will start Brian's bike...

Hehe well he does put Gull 91 in it!!

Lets hope his is working cause Spectrum have royally messed up mine. After I realised how bad it was It was kinda dicey riding it home. My chain is so lose I can actually get my fingers under it at the sprocket end.

Just a side recommendation, an FYI if you like. I'd be avoiding Gull in older bikes, as all their fuel has an ethanol blend now. If the bike isn't setup for ethanol (and it's only pretty new bikes that are), the fuel lines can be turned to mush...

Had a few threads on KB already discussing it.

...and fuel injected Triumphs

We stop at Gull Whangarei for a regroup/pick up, but most can wait till Paihia for a more suitable fuel for the old and new shitters.

Oakleigh Caltex would be a good place to fuel up but it's currently closed and all fenced off.

And just to clarify that a bit, even if someone puts 10Ltrs in, it wont happen before the next fuel stop will it? and may only happen after prolonged use of ethanol fuel.

Yea ethanol will only cause damage if left in the system for a long time. Never park a bike up for winter with ethanol in the system. It'll be flushed out by the next fuel stop.

That's what I mean, the way Alan puts it, is that it could will screw with your engine before the weekend is finished, just have to be clearer when making statements like that.

Sorry sir, yes, one fill won't dissolve your bike then and there, it'll take prolonged use. The only question (to which I don't think anyone knows the answer) is exactly how long. I think even a couple of months continuous use could be enough.

91 is sometimes better for older bikes though. I thought you said that you've tightened up the chain?

Ethanol fuel is not quite but close enough to pure evil... Didn't the majority of gas companies adopted ethanol fuel, I'm almost certain that 'Z' did.
