Manawatu Rant n Rave

[Meanie]

Well boys and girls, here she is. Removed the baffles when I got home and shit! they're loud! Kinda don't see the point in after-market mufflers. And did I see a certain Speed Triple go by me with an Owl riding?

Congrats its a nice looking bike and im sure youll have fun chasing the kwakas

Because Yamaha are too expensive and Kawas just fall to bits.

Your just pissed you didnt make the grade to buy one, they dont just sell them to anyone you know

[NZsarge]

I was out and about town this arvo looking for Sarge Where were you?



Didn't see you about, but that seemed to be the flavour of the day. I saw this dude wave out on Fairs Rd and thought, "Does this person know me?" Turned out to be cowboyz, so I had to turn around, as you do.

I did get that compressor today and it actually fitted in the car. Quite a heavy little sucker though.

Sorry I missed you today Al, I was my obligitory 10 minutes late but had me a coffee and a bite to eat at Moxxies then went up to Anza's to see what's what and ran into Kevin (South African guy from here in Vegas, rides a Bandit, he's the guy who made his own muffler and luggage rack out of stainless steel) after I got through perving at the new Volkswagen Sirrocco and anniversary edition Audi Q7 V8 tdi at Z-ONE I went back over to Anza's and caught up with Kevin and Andrew then the guy on the Aprilia turned up and we talked to him for quite a while.
Jumped on the bike, and headed back home, pleasant day for an outing on the bike I must say.
Since I did'nt get to see Transformers last weekend I might try again sometime today, Meanie reckons it's good for a laugh and really needs to be seen on the big screen to get the most out of it so that's good enough for me.

Very nice ride Elysium and yes, I was out and about town this arvo looking for Sarge Where were you?

Yeah just at the lights outside of Countdown Rangi. Saw a Speed Triple with small custom pipes that looked like yours.

Someone is spending too much time at home. All going sweet with Sophia and mum? Has she spewed down your collar yet? It's a moment you never forget.

Mum and Bub are fine, anyone know where to sell a two year old? I think I'll start with trademe, after the last two nights I think I'll v\have to pay some one to take her away. Friday night she would go to bed till 3am up at 9am. Last night up from 3am-5am

[Owl]

Sorry I missed you today Al

No worries Sarge. It was late and just taking a punt that you'd still be around.
I wasn't in the mood for going open road and really enjoyed pootling around town.
I hadn't started my bike for 2 weeks, so it was a good time to test the battery with a multi-meter and see how it would start. Reading 12.76v and it started mint, so positive that's now sorted!

Yeah I went through there on the way to George St, so it was no doubt me.

Sweet as, better see it on the big screen though I reckon, was the theatre packed?
Plenty of action and decent effect always adds up to reasonable entertainment I reckon.

It was the hat that threw me!......................

How's that tyre thingy coming along cowboyz? I'm getting close to needing a front, either PP or PR2.
This will be first time I woud've ever chewed out a front quicker than a rear. That PR2 rear is now at 8500km!

[yod]

That PR2 rear is now at 8500km!

so is mine, and still going strong!

front is only about 4000 and still looks mint....the bird seems very easy on them

[cowboyz]

Love the PR2, though it's getting down, but still hasn't squared! My front is a BT-016 and chewed out pretty bloody quick.

Good shit!

Tyre thingy? I have an old Gixxer that needs a tyre thingy

[banditrider]

For you trike lovers out there:

[Elysium]

ow one problem with this bike is that no manual came with the bike so I have to find what everything does. Is it normal to sometimes hear a popping sound when using the throttle? I adsume its related to the carbs?
