Next Sunday is the big one....... looking forward to meeting The MR........ so far from what people say he seems like a mythical creature.......
oooooooooooo lala
Sorry i couldn't make it... looks like you guys n gals had fun..... The 21st kinda left me in no condition to try play catch up. Hopefully will be on the next one
Lump lingered last in line for brains,
And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...

hmmmm missed that yellow mohawk.......... by the way I got to give you the Road Code back.......

Please can I have more pics?
There;s so many of you online on this thread at the mo.... fingers crossed...
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Yep that was Frosty in Pic 2.... he ummm rode out on his new bike on his way to work in Devonport.... a sort of tikitour trip for him....lol
So I do hope that he made it to work riding with one hand....lol
Yep a great day riding.... I was just cruising at 80 to 90km most of the time.... 100 on the straights.... much slower on the corners... but it was great.... for me to find the right lines on the corners....
There was just one patch right on the windy corner where the tarseal had totally melted.... was wondering about Two Smoker hitting it.... but he saw it in time...
26 bikes in all when we all sat down for fish-n-chips... well Zarf showed up late, but he was running tail end charlie, well thats his story...lol.
I absolutely thoroughly enjoyed the ride it was a nice casual pace....
Looking forward to see more pic's.
It was also great to see Riff Raff back out on her bike... Riff I hope your neck is ok tonight.... particulary after one bump on the road... and I was most impressed how you didnt want to have a ride on the back of that trailer, when it pulled out right in front of you.... impressive braking skills.....
The best part was to see Riff Raff challenging a Kid on a go-kart for a race in Papakura carpark.... ummmm the kid won.... but Riff raff gave it a good go for the first lap....to be overtaken on the straight....lol
L-Plate Rider
Well, my first KB event and the trusty GN let me down... again. So why does everyone think they run and run?!
Many thanks to:
Sparky and Jaybee for organising
JayBee for offering to escort me whilst I found out if Frostie's (first) attempt to fix the problem helped - sorry for not sticking with you, JB, I had to find out if the problem was sorted which meant opening up the throttle...
The biker who helped out El Dopa (see http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...998#post156998 for that story!) who kindly escorted me back to town with El Dopa's bike loaded up in his truck - whilst I figured out the only way to ride it was to use half-throttle or less, otherwise it just died...
But most of all Tony Frost (he's grrreeeeaaaaattttt! Maybe only the poms will get this, but ho ho ho all the same) for completely fixing the GN. Maybe he can elaborate on the technical details, seeing as I am mechanically challenged, but basically he fully stripped the carb, reset the fuel mixture from Coleman's last effort, found a loose wiring (for the coil?), and spotted a piece of wire in the spark plug where there shouldn't be any bits of wire at all.
So no problems at all on the ride home from his yard - it's mint. At least as mint as it ever was
See you next time, hopefully!

Age is too high a price to pay for maturity

Nice cruise in the sun.
The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.
slightly adventurous
Here's a few more...
We had a great day, thanks Sparky.

With a GNOOO its just a matter of aplying common sense.
To tell ya the truth Im not sure which thing fixed the bike but im leaning more and more towards that loose connection
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
