Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[v8s&2wheels]

Was an awesome ride, tad chilly on the way home though. You looked like you were getting into it near the end on the way home.

If you can find a third person, we could get the suspension sorted on your bike. And might as well do mine at the same time

Whats this about suspension? What sort of third person do we need to get it done?

Yeah i had a ball catchin up to the other 2 guys pretty quickly, sorry about leaving you behind lol. You guys are pussies it was no where near cold on the way back (i admit my grips were on 60% though) but the legs were fine.

You had your legs up on those heated grips for the last 20mins of the ride aye

To get the suspension set up all you really need to do, without spending any money, is to set the Sag. It's a three person job ya see. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/ho...tup/index.html

And numerous other sites will explain it as well. Well that's about all I know about setting up suspension for you weight.

Bit more to it than that. Setting sag is just the starting point.
G4E is good with that sort of thing. As is Wasp27. Maybe we could organise a suspension night at ours and get it done? The only tool I haven't got is a rear shock c-hook.

Schado is a madman to follow Dooly down HW50 and Middle Rd. But thats about it. I'm very tame compared to most of the guys whom I like to ride with. I stay on my side of the road, I hold back on the double yellows, I pass safely or not at all, I don't tailgate, I don't wheelie, I don't drift.... I most certainly do not speed !!! and most of all, and this is the most important.... I don't perv at the camel toe thread in which many more photo's are appearing worthy of a look by pervs

Ha. Good onya Mate !
Sounds like your a candidate for the new speights ad !
Yeah right.................
Give that man a Tui

We had an awesome ride to wairoa. Never done the road now I can say I have. Nice road, but theres others Id rather ride (and keep away from that dodgy place).

Probably a bit slow for schado and MSTRS, but i enjoyed the ride. I was really starting to get into it towards the end.

Cheers for the ride guys, hope I wasnt to slow for ya.

Sounds like my type of riding group. There might be an opportunity to set up a slow riders group again. Most of our former slower riders have jumped to the fast group… aye G The goat track is one of the very best roads in our part of the world. Nice to hear you had a good ride. What time did you come back? I was moving the cows around 5ish but didn’t see your bikes………

You do realise that its lunchtime don't you?

Camels gotta eat Too..................

Well I hope you all had a good ride today while some of us keep the country moving along by working hard as to earn the dosh to ride. What a beautiful day though.

You sound like those filthy dairy pollutn Crafars......................

Todd and I had a great ride - only 1 cop on the road, close to Taupo. Seems to be our normal 1 hour 10 minute ride to get where we going lately. Excellent dry roads and had a wonderful time. Even better being out and thinking about those working.....

Morepower must be sulking, as he never returned our text messages !!!

Hope you boys enjoyed the ride to Wairoa too. What a day for riding

That’s a normal time for bikes. See you can stick to the speed limit when you want to. It is 120km to Taupo so if you do it in 1 hour 10 you are averaging around 100kmh. Well done you two.

Maybe the boat Dave is on is out of Cell coverage.........

I've got a bit more reading to do then. I was gonna ask a while ago if anyone in Napier could help with suspension.

That would rock if you could though. Would love to get the bike set up a bit more for me.

Leave them alone good buisness hooking up those effluent pumps. Have you got one Gary cos you seem to be spraying the sh.. around HaHaHa

It's official!!! I'm definitely coming down for the long weekend. Riding down Friday, heading back on Monday. Do you think there could be a nice slow ride for me at some stage during that time? Maybe a couple of drinks and a chinwag? God knows I need the break...been working way too hard recently.

What are ya talking about. That bike felt perfect for my weight. And you would probably only be about 5-10kgs lighter than me at the most lol.

Sounds likes we may have a suspension night on our hands sometime. Maybe a few brews too.
