ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[forkoil]

Sorry Neil,
Honda created the class?Don't think so.750 maybe but...

I think Neils getting confused with outboards again, or maybe portable generators, it takes him a while but......

FFS, Honda INVENTED the 1000cc classbike as we know it today. Took the rest of SuzKwacYam 2+ years to even get there

WRONG. Kawasaki Z1, 903 cc - 1973, Suzuki GS1000, 998cc - 1978, Honda CB900F Bog Door, 900cc - 1980. Market leader, dream on.

Havent seen them featuring in the post pub drags lately, looked like Suz vs Suz from where I was. And dont count that stump puller of Keiths over the first 20 metres!!

You talking about the time you "Missed a Gear" (year right)

Nice ride last night people, it was great to lead such a ragtag bunch of motorcycling afficianados! And sorry about spitting tyre rubber over you last week Frosty, but you did rather insult the 10 by referring to it as a ZX6R!

Confusion and misinformation flowing from the leaking forkseals again.
Pre not post pub drags.
Fairly ungracious to not admit that you were totally wasted by a 16 yr old Touring bike.
Third gear - jeez where's Ken? I actually thought he would have provided a bit of competition. Did he miss a gear...again, or was he just pulling my leg pretending to drag and watching me make an arse of myself?

3 questions
1) Whats the eng capacity of yr tourer? (cubes DO count for something)
2) How about over a longer distance (1/4 mile)
3) How did it go over the Whangamata hills Keith?
And of course you never need much encouragement to make an arse of yourself anyway but I do concede that Soichiro would be proud you can get his modern day traction engine to scoot along the way you do

[gammaguy]

just a quick thanks for making me welcome on your TNR.I had a ball on the VFR,shame i had to go back to work afterwards!some of those corners tighten up a bit once you are half way round them dont they??hope to get back up here again soon and the next time ill try and have a beer with yaz.

3 answers.
1) There's no replacement for displacement... Or is there?
2) How about from here to Wgtn. and back? 1/4 mile is a sprint. 1200kms is a ride. A ride I'm sure your one, brown eyed, arse would favour being on my Honda.
3) I went very well over the Whangamata hills.... in touring mode. Paeroa to Waihi was a little quicker..... Tex had filled with gas before you arrived.

Why thank you for the concession. It's a nice touring bike.
