    Looking good. The Motard field is growing very quickly, everytime we go to Teretonga there is a new bike. Will you be riding the King of Levels on the 18th July? There is a big field of Motard's in ChCh and we picking up a couple new ones from Dunners in the next month or so.
    Gear it to max out at 170 and you will find that suits Levels, Teretonga and possibly Ruapuna as the 400 may struggle geared any higher. Check your gearing and speed at http://www.gearingcommander.com/
    Changing tyres makes a huge difference coz when I dropped profile from 70% to 60% it dropped max speed by 8kph!
    Smeghead (Mark) used to run a DR400 if you want to ask him about gearing.

    yup first outing will be Levels next month.....It means the GSX can stay at home.

    all finished, except that the GSX rear runs a 530 sprocket. No test ride! We tried to machine the sprocket down to a 520 but was too hard. I've got a sprocket on order so next weekend is testing, the week before its first outing in anger!

    So obvious in a straight line, few more neddies and you'd have a lot more behind you

    Well you got your revenge at Greymouth. You wouldn't have seen me coz I was WAY behind you. I saw you a few times but at a distance. Good riding, see you at the Burt.
