Laxed out rides

[ckai]

You can geta bike lowered?! How?! Lol you learn something every day...

You just swap the plate that connects the bottom of your rear suspension to the bike. Then you adjust the front and you're away laughing.

We lowered Brooke's bike which is heavier than a hyosung and she handles it fine since she can put her feet down. You may even be slightly taller than Brooke. I think we dropped it about 1 inch, maybe more (2.5 cm for those metric people playing at home).

Contrary to believe it doesn't alter the handling much either. Certainly not in a stupid, drastic way. Take to Big Bikes and they should be able to give you an idea on cost.

Hmm maybe I'll have to come along one wed and have a good talk to people. There are some other things I need to tweak that I'm not competely comfortable fiddling with on my own that would be good to get some help with too... Yay for being a noob!

But yeah, it's not too heavy as much as being a bit too tall mixed with the weight feeling kinda high, so as soon as it starts going over it keeps going. Specially when you dont manage to get a foot on the ground...

Hey zenith, if you want to know about bike lowering come and talk to me about it and have a look at my bike. I have lowered mine, oh the joy of short legs!

i taught a girl to ride yesterday

no bins

i have two trials bikes.
i can teach you how to do a few things on them.
very light, no seat, wide bars, low gears....
and i can ride them properly, and the skills are transferable

but if you dont want to, sweet, your loss.

This wouldn't be the bike that you were telling me at the pub that I would enjoy riding would it Carver?????

Hoysung 250 GT!! too heavy?

The Hyosung's are a bit top heavy, and slow manovering did very much depend on a heck of alot of balance whilst the wheels were not creating that much of a gyro effect. It was quite a challenge to learn how to operate a top heavy bike whilst being a short ass! But once it starts to tip at slow speed I can imagine it would be unrecoverable for anyone shorter than me hehe. When I was learning to u-turn I would tap my foot on the ground all the time to recover until I learnt the art of counter sitting.

Great bikes, they have one for sale at Waikato Yamaha, Red one REALLY pretty, Only has 5300km on the clock too! And the tires are well scrubbed. The owner must have really looked after it well

Went out with a group from CMA (or something like that), counted 35 bikes at Rangariri when we left
Saw you guys on the side of the river in Huntly
We had a good ride, brilliant day for it.

Yeah it was a good ride. Good to get all the "old-schools" out again. It's probably gonna be a while til we all get out again (well, that's me anyway - snow takes priority now).

Colin, the guy on the blue SV, loved it today, and said cheers. He said to tell him when we head out again.

[Leyton]

Not too sure it has no price tag on it yet, My estimate would be $6000-$6500

Would have loved to come on the ride today but opted out

I have dropped into the pub 1 million times this avo looking for the group with no success hehe am home now.. Will head to the pub if Murry txt's me

Certainly a huge number of bikes out today I went to Tauranga and just had seen bike after bike after bike, My father and I added to that group.

I will try and get him over for a laxed ride at some stage, he is fairly laxed on his GSX1100 and would really enjoy our pace.

Don’t worry about team mormon – they confess to being mormons after all
Did you know that mormons have the highest percentage of adults in ‘serious psychological distress’, that means a bit ‘mad’ ‘wacko’.
In the States the use of antidepressants and teen suicide are the highest in Utah than any other state, and figures correlate across the world – the more mormons, the higher the rate?

You see they wank a lot (true), to some that’s a natural thing to do, especially for young pimply dorks with acne like the members of team mormon, or the mormon few. But to mormons it’s a sin! So they get all depressed about it, then because they’re focusing on it all the time – they do it more and more, it seems they can’t help themselves, then they end up in the self defeating spiral of guilt and wanking.

But their church is always there to help them; suggesting they wear cloves to bed.
I did notice one or two of the mormon few keep wearing their bike cloves out,.. a lot
