    Do you know who's running it? (just curious)

    WhiteTrash: note time - up early because we're doing a day trip to Hawera today, and I have to have my KB fix before I go. (yeah, yeah, I know it's a boring road but I've got something to drop off up there and why use a courier when you can deliver the stuff on your Duc?)

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    Yeah I popped in there today, they seem to be on to it, I think I'll try them for my next service, got to be better than out so called local Yam dealer/tractor repair/jack of all trades master of none we have here, how fuc#@d up is it, I have bought 3 brand new Yams from these guys, and still I have to buy all my bike stuff from the Honda shop across the road.

    The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
    my own fault really.

    Hi - thanks for the info on the shop - will check it out next time in Ham.

    Had a GREAT ride to Hawera - roads are a bit boring but there was the right amount of traffic in the right places to make it like they were chicanes. Pakaek Hill on the way home was MAGIC!!

    Off to the Wairarapa today with Celtic Sea Lily, Bungbung, and probably a few others.

    My family are in Morrinsville so come up quite a lot, will note your #s and get in touch next time we're coming up. It might be when I'm doing my first 1000kms on my new 1000 (when it gets here - about two/three wks probably - the last one they (NFI in Sydney) sent was a "standard" M1000, not the M1000Si.e. that the Duc agents ordered for me).

    I have hunted high and low and simply can't find that Ohlins stuff about suspension setup. I'm really sorry. I hope you've managed to get it sorted with the other guys help.

    Ohlins have a lot of info on their website at http://www.ohlins.com/ and if you search through the various pdf files there is a bit of info on setup particularly those on this page http://www.ohlins.com/mc_manuals.shtml

    Chances are what Lynda is talking about is a hard copy of one of these manuals as the stuff I got when I bought my shock was the same as the on-line version.

    They tell you how to set ride height and stuff like that and even though the info is for their shocks and forks the principles are the same.

    Here's the one for "Motorcycles Road and Track" http://www.ohlins.com/pdf/07241-02.pdf
    Cheers
