I pulled a massive stoppie when we went down to Rotorua the other weekend; just ask gale wolf

although when I tried one on the gt250r in the weekend, I just ended up locking up the front -_-

edit: just finished watching the Motegi GP... wow

Just did my good deed for the day. Was out for a ride thru the coatsville highway and saw a dude pulled over fixing his bike. Pulled up and found out he was loosening his chain. He had tried tightening it earlier and made it wickedly tight. With a bit of mucking around we figured out how to sort it out and checked over his bike. It was a late model 250 ninja and I spotted a bald as hell rear tyre and he had never lubed the chain, so gave him a run down on bike basic maintenance. He'd never lubed it or checked tyre pressure! Scary stuff. He was a young guy but just asking for an accident. By this time my battery was flat from leaving the headlight on to see what we were doing, so after a push start I followed him back to civilization to make sure he was ok and told him to take it to a bike shop ASAP to check it over and replace the tyre. It was literally bald in the middle with the biggest chIcken strips I've ever seen haha. Scares me that people are out there with tyres like that

We have the BMW owners club night at work so I'll be busy till 9pm probably, but also can join later. If you guys feel like having some nibles and mixing up with the BMW owners club feel free to rock up at work

Will probably be a short eat'n'ride! Just do the classic lazy hornet rider and go visit some mounts! My girl has been working some long hours and its starting to tell on her, so some early eats, a bit of riding and go looky at D'orkland from on high ...
