Manawatu weekend rides

[yod]

115miles?? HHmm I was hitting reserve not much over 100miles when I was riding to work weekly. I thought that was just cos of riding through town. Might google the RF fuel range and if not right get it looked at. Then again, you might get another 80miles on reserve lol..

Wanna test that one out for me? lol

The fuel light comes on at 90 miles!! lol

I think it's running a bit rich. I've found I don't need any choke at all to start her up, even when it's been quite cold overnight, and you can smell the fuel in the garage when it's warming up.

I got to 170 miles on mine, two up, before hitting reserve!!

hellow stranger... how have you been... when we see you on a ride i bet you beat yod out ... lololololololo shell we take a poll... [sorry yod]

Howdy

How do you mean beat YOD out, has he become mr late now has he. Following in the footsteps of NZSARGE? lol

All good here, very warm indeed though... I might need a bigger bike though so I can keep up, have put on a few pounds lol..

Hows everything back home??

Might have to convince the battle star rider to get the boat out over summer for some kiwibiker onboard bbq's lol

hmmmm might be time for another big bill from the bike shop then. Might get them to give the carbs and overhaul and retune.

Hows the headset feeling now?

5 hours into it, hope it's all going well so far, weather is a bit up and down here, best of luck lads

got the RF out for a spin this arvo, it hit reserve at 115 miles that's dodgy....

the took the bird for a pootle just to try and keep some charge in the battery lol

Awwww man. You shoulda been with us! Talk about water!

Anyway, all done. Had me afternoon nap. All the Manawatu riders have a shiny new badge - good stuff! Bazza rode up saturday morning, did the ride and was talking about riding home - couldn't get enough of the wet stuff I guess.

Good to be finished and dried off. Piccy of my GPS track here: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...0&postcount=94

Heya,
I maybe late on occasion but Yod's a lot later than me... To the point he's not even turning up.. I'm sure he'll join us on the odd FNR though..
