Is rain supposed to hurt? (Wgtn)

[QUOTE=BonezManaged to get the GB covered at lunch time at work, so it was only out in the wetness for a few hours.

A GB500? My workmate has one and it looks great. Has a Hyosung 650R now.

I still haven't got to the bottom of the cutting-out-in-the-rain problem it has and rode through the Mt Vic tunnel. Thank goodness it didn't die on me in the middle !!

Had a similar problem with a pair of cylinders on the CB750fc2.
A good set of coils off Trademe for $30 sorted it out. Rode to Hastings and back in rain on Sunday to test them.

Yeah, I should do that. I got a thread going about it here quite a while ago and got some good answers. Okay, I shall tackle it this weekend without fail !!

Excuse me, moving to the Hutt isn't advisable. Noone should move to Upper Hutt at least.

Upper Hutt Bogans represent!

The Hyobag is great. Great bike to learn on. The only con I have at the moment is that its not 105hp and shaped like a Hornet 919

. Ive done 7K and getting itchy.

Grab me next time we are both on a ride and quiz me. I dont mind answering questions or talking about my bike

.

I'd be interested to see how it goes against the VT250, considering they're both V-twins.

The 400. Now taken over from the '76 cb550F as my fav bike for those inpromptu back country romps. Funken cheapest bike I've owned as far as running costs go-in a word brilliant! Best 1400 bucks I've spent on a vehicle.
