Be wary of south side of road with no sun and greasy surface.Might head over track and give new tyres a work out later in morning.

hmmm meeting the bank manager on monday, if i get my loan approved i could be doing a 400km ride on my new R6 next weekend

Good luck dude!!!!!!

Haven't been on it for a wee while but watch that road from Eke to Alfredton - it can very greasy during winter. Also, the same applies for just north of Pongaroa. If wet or cold watch any shady places. And keep an eye out for the usual loose metal and roaming stock.

Route 52 rocks but use care!

Good advice, will be dodgy in places for sure, not to mention tractors come out of paddock leaving mud all over the road etc... How annoyed were were you when I said I did'nt want to do Porangahau /Wimbledon on the way back last weekend? Must be hard to find a travelling buddy that'll go the distances you're used to..

its my mates 3rd good ride... trying not to overdo it plus exploring that area myself

Take it easy out there mate, that road can throw up all sorts.

dunno, first change since i got it, did about 24k on them

What brand chain did you get, I was quoted a DID X-Ring (which is the standard chain) a while back at $500!!!

What did you chuck on Tony?

Mint! Love that skit! Got the whole concert on video somewhere. Should resurrect my video and put it on disc....

Nah, all good - had a great day out and about. Must sort through the video...

I had a case of "Doug VS dying dog" yesterday, I lost to a dying dog. Have some superb battle scars coming I imagine.

Was thinking of metz m6,or diablo but stuck with pr2 again,$588 set,made choice easy.And have done probably 15-17500km.Were on the bike at 10500km and changed at 25500km.
Had a discussion in Hastings shop about Shinko 005,looked good price($485 set)but figured they might last 13-15000km and extra cost of pr2 gives extra km so worth the extra $100.The conversation with the guy was 2 guys headed to Burt Munroe last year,riders on TL and SV1000,the TL and SV had new tyres on same day,the TL had totally stuffed tyres after return back on Pirellis,the SV had about 2/3rd tread left on return,take a little while to warm up.

Oh no what happened, were you on your bike?

I had similar situation (same day), but I was in my car, and only got a little bite/scratch on wrist. Hope you are healing ok.
