Had a great Sunday.

Changed the rear wheel bearing on the RMX250, changed the oil and filter on the DR143 big block

Got toothache from hell, it's a shit Sunday

[Reckless]

Fuck me 18 years where did that go????? Made a few mates through here

KB used to be awesome even the nutters used to be funny

A sizable bunch of us had Kiwibiker "Dirt Division" for a few years had T shirts and all. Still have a couple and a flag.
We came up with the flag Idea so members could find our group when there was 400+ at a dirt ride.


Went on all the Mr Moto rides and meet ups at the Sandpit, Kimis farm etc etc. Competed at 2 man events etc

Was a good bunch, still friends with some.

Thursday night rides used to be quite good with a good bunch coming along.
Only ever been on one weekend ride in 2011. 2 prangs that day. Some guy ended up in the drink around Mirinda and another had an off, Said a rear blow out on a straight road.
We waisted to much of the day waiting for ambulances and tow trucks I never went on another. LOL



Thats my SV in the pic.

Then the place went a bit silly with more politics and squabbling over non bike related shit.
Secondly No newbie could postup a question, that they in their innocence thought was ok, without getting launched on by the KB pack. I guess they stopped coming.

So I retired to the MotoGP thread with likeminded people and rarely venture out to KB land unless something catches my eye like this thread.
Just don't want to waste my life posting up shit in threads that don't help anything except egos.
I made a self rule I would never say anything on any internet, I wasn't prepared to say face to face.
Still a great bunch of guys I have never met in the MotoGP thread, the ESE works and the optimistic sellers are sane enough threads to monitor.

AH well it seems to be the modern world these days? Each to their own . I guess a lot of members either sold their bikes or voted with their feet.

So now I have completely wasted a night on KB sharing memories and bullshit. I'll go to bed so I can get up at 7 have breaky while watching MotoGP before work.
And that's the tail (for me) of the KB tape IMHO - LMAO

Actually that's not a bad idea. Get rid of the non motorcycle related section.

I am all for that, then we can bring back tags plus take it international.....

[sugilite:Me]

Even though I post mostly in rant and rave, I too would not be heart broken to see it go.
Bike stuff only would bring the actual good information front and center for newbies and so on to find
Maybe we could start a dedicated poll to see what the few of us that remain think of that idea?

Last Thursday night went to a mates and adjusted my steering bearings, they had come loose - but how?
Last Friday attended the last track-days at Puke as a spectator as I simply never liked the track - took the scenic ride to and from the track.

I am surprised that the last trackday at Pukekohe didn’t get a mention on here. With the amount of people there last week, I would have thought that at least a few of them would have been active posters on this site.

It was a fun couple of day's riding, for what it was worth. A pretty good dinner in between events too.

I rode the Thursday at Puke. It was Fine and sunny too
Damn glad I chose that day as the following 2 day weekend event had intermittent rain, I think.
Bloody lap times where absolute crap but I got some really good on bike footage of my last spin at Puke FOREEVER

[F5 Dave]

What we're you riding? A righteous steed of good standing?

Or some feited 4 stroke?

[husaberg]

My sons bike managed to oil up half of Ruapuna on Sunday.
Apologies for that last races. the fricken thing only has about 700ml but it seems to go a long way...
That shit would not have happed on a decent 2T.

this diesel was worse than an old mz for smmoke if i have my way its getting a reed valve
So i am going to fab a proper breather catch like a Beezump three. With an external breather pipe that he can see the smoke show in this face and stop the thing...
Its bad enough i spent week trying to fix a back torque limiter overrun clutch that the silly diesel needs when it wasn't the problem it seemed....

That said i do kind of fancy one of those Daytona's, farty noises and all.
I can see why they are so popular as track day bikes. like a modern Lc which is ironic seeing they stylized that after a triumph.

I remember a KB ride from Rimatex before Rimutukas circa 2005. We literally filled the forecourt. White Trash held court explaining ride etiquette. No one listened. Carnage ensue

Where would a KB ride be without at least 1 rider exploring the scenery ......

I remember meeting an attractive young woman at Kaiaua who was riding a Daytona with a quick shift and an aftermarket exhaust. Very nice...

Just to keep this site alive, you want me to come on here and say some controversial shit?

Stuff like "It wasn't King Kong's fault he was on top of the Empire State Building".

That'll stir up some responses. It's sure to get Skoober Steve back in the fold.
