Cold Kiwi rally

agreed george!

and guys I FIXED MY ZXR400! YAY NO MORE 2 CYLANDERS! i honestly didnt know a bike needed carbs to run...

haha! after further inspection it seems that after the high speed highsideon dirt/barrell roll, that made my tank literally fly a good 100m (full!) it tore my carbs off the back of the engine

seriously! lucky it didnt tear the rubber itself, but rather jujst ripped it out of its little seal bracket thingys on back side of motor! fuckme! and also i decided to take carbs off fully and clean/inspect, only to find they were gummed up hardout with black shit and sad etc, when i say hardout u know what i mean.. it doesnt take much, carbs are ment to be perfectly clean! but yeah, the jets were a little blocked etc, everything blown out with compressor, mixture on all 4 was almost even or at least within 1/16" of eachother (in terms of turns) so i made them dead equal, despite knowing that somtimes guys do it to even them as they wear uneven or somthing my dad told me. So yay for the ZXR, AUGUST 2nd i might b there and riding on my ZXR400, with near bald front tyre and same back tyre i slipped off last time! but more experience and lots less confident

yay, Its on mitch! but im telling you now, i will b a pushover, the zxr is slow so it doesnt hide my faulty slowness, damn, not even 1/2 of the 2 main things needed to b fast i have.. damn :P

YEHA I get to play with KK.

Shit, what if he is faster then me

Now wouldn't that be imbaressing

Looking forward to it KK!!!!

**Kwaka-Kid** · 27th July 2003, 09:22

hate to bring you down when ur on such a high there mitch.. but slapped those carbs on.. pressed the "go" button... and no go

bugger it! piece of crap. hmm not sur enow, i think its low battery, ill jump start off van later hopefully b4 work @ midday, and see how it goes, im sure once i get that initial start with clean carbs etc it will go forever

and mitch, this means its looking a little doubtful, however i will endevour to make it there just to watch even, and if i do come out, it will be on stuffed old tyres i fell off on last time

- its the hard road of learning isnt it? just dont tell my mum coz i told her i was buying new ones b4 that bike goes onroad/ontrack again :P

**Coldkiwi** · 28th July 2003, 12:34

KK... instead of blathering on about how you have 5 piles of crap that don't work, why don't you just sell the 4 crappiest ones and use the money to fix the RVF properly!? *shock horror* you could even BUY some new parts!

seriously, it's painful to read about your bodging and then think you're gonna go riding on it!

**Kwaka-Kid** · 28th July 2003, 13:55

yeah i know, well i only have 3 piles of crap now

2x are sold.

so there we go, just ZXR400 (Street bike) which once done in next few weeks will prolly be solde, RVF400, race only, and GPZ750turbo, special bike

**Coldkiwi** · 28th July 2003, 17:16

mate... just bin the zxr400... it's in worse condition than the RVF right?... since you're no where near getting into racing (lets be honest here) use the RVF on the street and if you ever get round to ACTUAL racing (I can hear mitch laughing from here) then pull the lights, mirrors and plate off and go for it!

as for the GPZ.... I dunno.. does it still run?!

**bikerboy** · 28th July 2003, 17:47

CK, the most painful bit is the fact, correct me if I'm wrong KK, that when KK first bought the RVF400, it was in a perfectly rideable condition.

**Dave** · 28th July 2003, 17:51

c.k. i'm with you-it's painful.
Like i said somewhere else- The fastest guy never to race a bike.
Come on KK get it together,
you work more jobs than al of us put together,stop buying porn and put your RVF together.

**Pickle** · 28th July 2003, 18:13

Hey Guys correct me if Im wrong but isnt this forum supposed to be about the Cold Kiwi?

**Mitch** · 28th July 2003, 18:30

**Pickle** · 28th July 2003, 20:45

Of course, we were going to organise a BBQ, weren't we?????

Think. Sausages. Think. BBQ. Think "SAUSAGE SIZZLE".

HAHAHAH

We could hold a Sausage Sizzle to raise funds for KK's racing ambitions.

RIGHT ON

Bestfun I like the warm male thing................ however suffer from lack of volunteers

Got any spare????

Um. It's a worry, the whole warm male thing. Cos unless you take your own, and know that they're warm and friendly like, there's just so many guys there it's complete overload. U can get high on all these men in black leathers - ooodles of 'em.

Too many to choose from. End up in yr tent, alone and freezing to death.

No :love Sad. Ask yr mates if you can share the tent not necessarily anything else and take all yr thermals and big thick sleeping bag, inflatable mattress, blanket etc.

You'll be thoroughly inaccessible under all that anyway.

Want volunteers ? They are probly reading this thread right now.......

ok - go read hte august 2nd @ puke thread, it will tell you my problems with time and that im in a bad MOOD AND LOOSING SLEEP POSTING THIS, but still i do it, im dumb.

firstly, money is not the issue, now on the quite i have exactly $6.75K just sitting, for hte RVF, point is im too damned stubborn to let anyone else work on my bike but me, i want the enjoyment out of it, half the fun is doing homejobs on stuff, and seconly i really am pushed for time atm. So what im saying there is money isnt the issue, i also have a problem parting with money

i save it all and only ever spend it on beer in the weekends, and lets face it, @ 17 its pretty economic drinking

As for hte BBQ, HELL YES, AGUUST 22nd FOR SURE (so long as kool with mitch) aiight? ill post this in the right thead later, im tired and have to wakeup @ 5am when dad wakes up and make early start to put instruments back on RVF etc... as for putting it back on street, far to fucking late, it would cost a fortune, ive ruined it for street already.

Now, that i think ive cleared most of the stuff up here (and sorry to sound like a prick and all) just not in good mood, but i think i might sleep... oh and the fastest ever to race or whatever u said, haha its too true, but just know that im getting almost as much enjoyment plodding away on my bike around my 50+ hour weeks/the extra whatever hours i have left helping family and freinds as i would racing the thing, its f-ing great, go on, do all the work on ur bike oneday, every last bit, its actually alot of fun, unfortunatly it doesnt often end up very safe/fast :P lol, sorry, dunno if that made sense, but made me smile and im still tired, i think i have that insomnia thingy so come here and post, sleeping is f-ing boring, but i feel like it, yet cant do it, argh, well this is it, im grabbin 1 beer, relaxing, then hitting sack. nite all
