Manawatu Friday Night Ride. (Be there or be in the square).

[manwithav8]

well - I left work early this arvo and took the RF for a WOF (no probs, bit of a story with the dodgy indicator tho), then shot down to ANZA and actually got on the Sprint: nice, comfy, a little more upright than the RF but not as much as the concours, comfy, black, nice, comfy, great seat, comfy but....no panniers, they have no idea where they are which is a bit of a shame

dreams are free....

then I sat on the '07 Firestorm they got (in RED so it goes faster) run out model for $13k...yup $13k fark thats tempting, seating position was nice, felt quite balanced...but...seat was a LOT harder than the sprint...dunno if my poor skinny white arse could handle it on long distances

dreams are free....

then I went for a wee pootle on the trusty RF.... i like my bike

We can all have dreams, otherwise you have nothing to look foward to... Go on, get a twin, you know you want to ..........

How's about Ashhurst, Gorge, Balance, Pahiatua Track(the long way around, maybe even on to Eketahuna and loop back to Pahiatua) back though balance over the Saddle sound?

Be carefull of the cow poos and sunstrike.

If I get the afore mentioned sleep it sounds great.

can't wait to get out again....

Gave the bike some love today so it needs to be ravished on some twisties... Will be two up though..

Oil change/ gear lever adjusted/ new brake light switch (again)/ chain tightened/ idle RPM dropped a tad/ air box opened up a little/ carbs enrichened for more air flow...

Saw 86 at milson roundabout this afternoon, was going to give chase and demand home made coffee lol.. Had birthday cake and glue to pick up though..

Who's been a busy boy then....

I was told by the dude at Dannevirke suzuki that panniers were an option on all but the latest ones so it may not have had any..

Yip, I like being busy though... The Duc might need a little more fuel in there though, can still hear a little pop on decceleration. Backing off a little you can feel it mixture just coming right so some more tweaking but will be ready for FH.. Oh with the new hoolagin sprocket fitted too.... Apparently they turn in to wheelie machines with that fitted but I don't do wheelies hahah

I want my bike back .. these lovely evenings are tormenting me ..

I just want my bike, I was hoping for the end of this week, but looking more like next week now.

If the men involved could get their #$@# together it would be fine. There is 3 of them involved, the painter, the mechanic and my husband.

The new paddock stand turned up today so it will make all this work so much easier.... It is here if anyone needs... Must not leave my garage though lol.

Thanks for the offer Lee but I prefer bikes with a good ol centre stand .
