Old ones worn? or you change the drive ratio?

Both, yer man how had the bike before me had a shit chain and smaller sprockets, so it was real jumpy. But all fixed now thanks to Holeshot... did a great job. now I need new tyres before my WOF next week.

Schweet, glad to hear she's all fixed.
So, keen to swap your bandit for my ginny then?

[nevets]

Definitely tempted, but little ol hornet needs some minor patching first... so prolly wont be able to make it

The following weekend should be OK though

[TOTO]

i was gonna do the poker run but unsure till the day / night before i guess ! as wanna do both !

So i i do come il extend the offer ,,

If peeps have money but cant access it on saturday ! and wanna come ill help them out with cash as long as its payed back asap ! i dont mean $1 DWN $1 A WEEK !

i second that. Winter is coming, gotta make the most of it while we can. If someone is short of cash this weekend, flick me a PM. if i know you're good for it (or you convince me, heheheh) i'm happy to spot ya some cash for gas or a feed. If it means we get more good guys out on their wheels, it's worth it

you two are legends. MusicMan if you are up to the coro challenge once again , I suggest you take them up on the offer.

Someone bling them for me coz I'm not allowed more blingage.

[musicman]

Thanks for the offer badger and cracker, you two are legends

But anyway, as much as I would love to go on this ride with you guys, I think I'll have skip this one... I woke up today feeling sick (aching all over and extremely light-headed) and I don't think that's a nice condition to be riding the Coro loop in! I didn't even feel very nice driving to work today, but I had no choice

Weather lookin a bit dodgy, Toto, what's that good weather site you use? i only using met service...

[zxcvbnm]

I want to come, but I'm helping fit out a truck this weekend and prolly for a couple more.

[Badger8]

SWEET!
Fitted new chain this evening after work (ended up riding home in the pissing rain without waterproof pants, in the pitch black with a tinted visor. Frozen rain on your face, or not able to see? You choose..., but that's another story...)

It's amazing what a difference a good chain makes!!! NO driveline lash when i go from engine braking to full gas, or from accelerating chop the throttle to engine brake. She is a whole different bike! Bring on the twisties!!!
Also found the adjustment i was looking for on my clutch, can adjust the angle of the lever without adjusting the friction point, perfect! Now i can reach the clutch next time i 12 O'Clock her!

Oh, and for those on Ginny's with stock chains, replace it as soon as you can!!! I knew it was bad, but was shocked at just how bad... Fed on the new chain, and the rust and kak that fell off the sprocket from the old chain (frequently cleaned too) was unbelievable... But the scariest thing? lay the old chain down on the ground, and bend it sideways (i,e, 90° to how it bends as it goes round the sprocket). it bend over 180°!!!! FOOK! tried that with the new chain... 0° bend... Now that's what a chain should be. Those chains constantly stretch and need adjustment for a reason guys, they're utter shit. Bike mechanic mate of mine couldn't believe that old one had held as long as it did with how i ride

Right, time for one more beer (Yeah Right...) and bed. Catch you fellas at the gassie in the morn!

it is going to be shouer free from 11:00 onwards, so just in time for out coro

[cave weta]

Just a quick heads up fellas!!

I hope a few of you read this before heading over here....
The Whangamata Beach Hop is this weekend- this means litrally HUNDREDS of hot rods and classic cars on the peninsula roads and Whangamata itself is chocka! But well worth a look.

Also the Kopu-Hikuia section is full of grotty roadworks with a hell rough surface all the way down the hill.for about 6 km

I would strongly recomend that you go through Waihi and the gorge and Paeroa - give me a rev as you pass my place on the Whanga side of Waihi

I will have my old classic Fire Engine parked outside for sale

Geez too much coro rides! You guys are making a cliche out of the in/famous Coro Loop! lol
