Dunedin biker ladies!

Its all a learning curve.. First service since I've bought it so I'd rather someone experienced gave the machine a good going over, then I'll teach myself some tricks etc as time goes on

PS Looks like I'll have to call you up soon for a couple of tips

[botb]

Well D hope your back on the road soon missed ya at the Beaumont we had a ball and the lack of 'boys' irked some *wink,wink* yes i have spent many hours now just taking things off my bike to see how they work etc the only way to learn i guess is tinkering yourself as by jesus it can get expensive ....... well girls count me out for this weekend i'm taking it easy a bit for now need to get some bills out of the way and spend some time with the kids Austy's started rugby (first season) so am going to be trolling the sidelines supporting my wee star

[botb]

Yeah Sunday was good for weather but stayed off the bike for the day and did boring house stuff and shopped with daughter (who keeps wanting my new helmet) and took dogs out for a while..
Whose up for a ride this weekend? More corners to tackle, more confidence to build up and more fun to have! Apparently the road between Port Chalmers and Waitati isn't sealed so making a loop that way isn't a good idea and I haven't heard how the Northern motorway is a week after the diesel spill. Any ideas?

Waitati road you are talking about is horrid lol we took said road back from Palmerston ride and i didn't cope well at all big line of grit to cross over when cornering and there are lots!! of corners this is me personally talking i didn't enjoy it at all.... maybe later when more confident tis sealed nevertheless so go for it of you like don't think MS was keen to get back on it in a hurry either but then she may be swayed lol rock on gals wish i could come but alas i have family commitments

Hey Botb, you have a good time on the sidelines, I guess given the interest from the guys who just can't stay away from the scintillating conversation on Biker Angels, we should take ideas for a weekend ride over to the other "Dunedin rides" thread before the guys want our nail polish tips?

[Delphinus]

Hey you just mentioned a road so I thought i'd fill you in with some of my experience
Hopefully bike back tomorrow arvo too.... Fork bushes were ok so should be sorted by now, engine work tomorrow i cant wait! Been working overtime so i can take friday off to just ride!

As for the Mt Cargill road... its just a matter of practice.. the more you do it the easier it becomes. It is a rather bumpy road though. You could try one of the DCC Fixograms and ask them to sweep it? I did that for the portobello road and I THINK they did it.

Righto better bow myself out before get in trouble for being where I shouldn't be.

[FREE2B]

Yep Ill come play with yas tooo

[Midnight Special]

ok where can we get some road cones ?

[FREE2B]

I think tennis balls cut in half is the way to go easy to carry easy to get ( I have some old ones) you can still see them... they used them for countersteering practise... and if you happen to run them over it doesnt matter.

[botb]

Great idea tennis balls ....... i can visualise them as "un-named" head lol (don't ask)!!!!!! o thats right we are meant to avoid them not run over them or do burnouts on them OK well we all got each n others numbers this weekend is out for me but maybe able to swing some thing for weekend after!
