I'm planning on a ride-less 'ride' for them, that way I can give them the petrol/tyre money too! Maybe I'll do some spannering just to keep it bike related though

91 ZZR400N, 67km.
Needs, new clutch (Ordered from Hong Kong for $49.17nzd )
New chain and sprockets, ordering sprockets right now.
New air filter, will grab one next pay day if I start feeling tight.
Brakes feel like shit, but, it's crap fluid, pistons seem fine, but, I'll whip them off and have a look.
Some oil, 'cos I dropped it all out then whipped out the clutch.
$800.

Needs a clean too

Anybody had any thoughts about maybe an un-official benefit ride for the Christchurch earthquake appeal? The Auckland one looks good wasn't thinking it needs to be that organized for a Manawatu (KBer's?) ride... Thoughts?

Sponsor us on the Southern Cross - $1 per km would be most generous of ya!

For that, I suppose you'll hand deliver it too

That's definitely worth considering
Haven't taken it for a ride, got the clutch out and the oil ran away.
Stupid screws on the brake reservoir are munted too, so will have to get an impact driver and smash the little fecker.
It is a fatty for a 4hundy, it's just a sleeved down ZZR600....I imagine the ride will be
Although I'm loving the dirty four pot calipers. It feels very very comfy though, so I might get rid of the CBeige.

Hey guys.....as some of you may be aware I relocated back down to Christchurch on the 14th of Jan this year. Well I was just starting to set myself up and then everything took a turn for the worst at 12.51pm on the 22nd of Feb. It was a harrowing experience and none that I ever want to go through again. Well I am packing my bags and leaving my beautiful city bound once again for the Mighty Manawatu.
Sinful told me when I left that I will be back, I just did not expect it this way. I could be up for just 10 days, or I could be up for the next 40 years. Angie (my g/f in PN) and I will be talking about the options over the next few days...

So if you see me on the roads or in Cuba Cafe be sure to wave out
Regards,
Bren

The top one must be the new GSX-R 1000, further down the pages we see the new Triumph Daytona 1050 and further down still we see an abomination of a modification of a ZX10, the person responsible for the should serve a long term in jail!

Picked up new hand grips for the CBeige today and new oil/filter for when the Kwakaboat gets it's new clutch Got a good deal. Will have some sprockets and a chain to go on next week, in the meantime I shall sort the brakes, I can currently deck the lever out on the bar.....
