would love to be there were it not for a couple of issues the british seem to cause.
1. Ok I caused this one... my electrics adventures continue with both my headlights burning out within about a minute of eachother last night while jetting down a dark and cateyeless James Line. Nice.

My HID's are in customs so I'm going to have to find some bulds as in interim. H7 low beams are at RIPco for $26 - all good
H9 high beams aren't - not so good.

2. The fantastic handling of the 675 comes in part from cheating by the factory. They have fitted barely roadlegal race tires to it! So my 2500km tire life seems about right now. Replacement cost of a Pirelli Supercorsa Pro SC 180/55/17 is.......... $560 plus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be getting a new Pirelli Rosso at $350 or so unless someone in the know has some better advise for a tyre choice vs my less than elegant riding style.

**banditrider** · 13th March 2009, 17:01

I'm out - man-flu

**blacksheep** · 13th March 2009, 17:46

set off out to meet you lot tonight ,turned left just before gorge/bridge from aokautere and got nicked for failing to stop at that f**king junction

was very polite to the orifice but it was fri 13th and quota filling time,so nice present in post(any idea how much$$?)
needless to say i was not in the correct frame of mind to ride my bike sensibly after that

so am now getting pissed

**yod** · 13th March 2009, 20:22

that sucks...had the same thing turning from te matai onto napier rd a while back, he didn't seem to care that I'd slowed to about 3kmh and there wasn't an oncoming car for miles

i think it was about $150-170?

Awsome ride chaps and chapesses. Nibbles and a natter at Murry's topped it off.

Just one thing to remember-we are all riding as group and setting an example for other riders, some new to riding. Dodgy overtaking of cars( i know we've all done it at some point) is not cool and the last thing we want on a group ride is to scrape someone off the road.

Reminder - KKs ride from Feilding on Sunday. Have a good weekend all.
