    details, details

    Sunset Farm Trail Ride - Port Waikato

    Event Category Event Type
    Offroad/Trail Trail Ride

    When: Sunday, 19 Apr 2009
    Where: Sunset Farm - Port Waikato
    District (Region): South Auckland (AUCKLAND)
    Directions: Signposted from Pokeno and from the Waikato River Tuakau bridge, follow the Honda arrows and signs to Port Waikato and head south (all on sealed roads) to the start approx 3 km south of Port Waikato.
    Classes: - Short cuts, alternative Yellow (intermediate) and Red (Expert) loops make this ride a fantastic venue and you can circlate as many times as you like. Free sausage sizzle at lunch time is always a crowd pleaser and sign on spot ptizes could mean you go home with some great product.

    Terrain: With a diversity not seen at other rides, we include the native trail, heaps of farmland, a pine forest block and best of all, rugged cliff top trails that have a freshly bulldozed track that shows of the terrain. Most of the trails (except the Super Expert Pine loop) are of intermediate standard but as always we have the Counties Honda Mini Track where the kids can try the Honda dempo fleet plus the 1.5 km Junior Green Trail suitable for the kids and learners.
    Organiser: Power Adventures
    Contact: brian or chris on 092388600
    greg 0274454429

    Other Details:
    After having to cancel the ride last month, we have secured Sunday 19th April as a replacement for the Sunset Trail Ride at Port Waikato. The tracks will be in primo conditions as extensive bulldozing has allowed even more alternatives and better riding round the coast where the magnificent views on the wild west coast take your breath away.Counties Honda will be out in force at this event so come along and see the demo (or even try them) bikes, ride withthe boys aned have a great time. This is a great event held only once ayear and not to be missed
    we may just go where no ones been

    they reckon ive been running too lower pressure in my rear tyre, which resulted in the tyre wall delaminating. funny thing is ive had 5 of the same brand tyres and this is the first problem ive had. they gave me a free one which was good

    i ran 7 and 8psi at thunder that day when i went with oldskool and littlejohn, and didnt have any problems, exept that the valve on the tube got stuck either open or closed so it went flat on the next ride, but i dont know whether thats because of low pressure

It's just I did promise Tawny I'd take her riding and since there is no-one to look after her on the kids track while I am out riding it would be damn irresponsible for me to leave her alone while I go out and enjoy myself

    Besides I know this might sound stupid to all you bike mechanic pro's but I just can't seem to slip the collar deep enough into the oil seal so I can fit the front sprocket on properly...the sprocket doesn't go in enough to allow the circlip to bed into the groove?
