    Always check the oil BEFORE you go for a ride

    Good place to park your bikes in crap weather in Welly is the James Smith Building. Ride around the barriers (yes, they let you) and park by the spiral. Perfectly dry and free from getting blown over.

    It's okay having something like a ZX-10 which won't really fall over but I don't really want some crappy scooter falling onto it.

    nearly got blown into a ditch yesterday....coming back from palmerston...coming around the corner other side of whangahu, gust of wind caught me and blew me hard left...took a bit to get her back to the middle. dunno what my speed was, but was sitting on around 5500/6000revs and felt like i was standing still.

    seems to have dropped right now, but was very strong earlier in the day.

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    It's a bit different for a 2 stroke. They have a separate tank which mixes wih the petrol.

    Wasn't a good night for oil then. What with Dreamers problem and now you.

    well it was a lesson learnt! NEVER assume that your oil tank is full just because it was a few days ago! My problem is that ive only just started riding my bike to some of its full potential so its actually using the oil like it should.... A tank of oil used to last me forever!

    Small world - I too work in that building and park outside Farmers on Victoria St. Never had my bike blown over (yet!!) but don't park your bike on the end of the parking space as I had some crap driver clip the front wheel and knock it over for me. Bent the handlebars, smacked up the throttle grip and folded the number plate in half. At least they had the "decency" to pick it up again!
    Why would anyone choose to drive a car!

    I used to park my bike in that very carpark, until someone stole the toolkit from my old bike and then when I got the KR whoever it is that rode the maroon hayabusa used to squeeze their bike right in next to mine. I couldnt get out the park unless I moved his mirrors, in fact I couldnt even start my bike from where I had parked it cause its a kick start and the guy was parked soo damn close that I couldnt even put the kicker out to start it. So I park it outside work with another bike, I work with the guy whos owns the bike so I know he aint gonna do anything like that.

    BTW RnB- which floor do you work on?...

    Str8 - I'm on the 7th floor. Yours must be the bike parked beside the CBR400. Often wondered where the owners of those bikes were.

    Ha, yep it sure is. That CBR is a beauty the guy who owns uses it solely to go to work and back (from Brooklyn) he wont go on any "decent" rides which I think is a waste, but each to their own I suppose. Im based on levels 3 and 8, small world indeed!!

    I was parked up at Kelburn yesterday (ZOMG free bike parking booyah bizzy biznatch!), and I had to leave my precious out in that awful weather...

    What is the accepted best way to park your bike in a prevailing wind? Leant towards or away from? I'm thinking towards, but can't be sure....
