Manawatu weekend rides

[bogan]

I'd start with the carbs, 5 years will have caused the fuel to harden into a laquer like substances, which lines the jets and changes their size. You may get away with leaving the engine in one piece and just give the old oil a bit of a flush out soonish if it runs.

this bike is so much fun to ride every time it gets taken out it gets ridden till it runs out of fuel!

just had carbs apart. Jeppers! need some bits and pieces so putting it on hold for today. when did manufacturers decover nuts and bolts and start putting bikes together with those rather than number 8 wire?

Where can I get one of them cameras?

very cool btw

[banditrider]

Any shop that sells that sort of thing...it's just a little handycam that records to SD card. Mounting is the tricky bit sometimes...

[Kiri]

did you make a mount for it?

[banditrider]

I've got ramsolutions stuff. But the little mount that screwed into the camera broke while trying to turn the camera on one day. I was very lucky to catch the camera and manage to hang onto it as I stopped. I've since bodged a new mount out of bits and pieces and it's doing the job nicely.

Don't now how you'll go on a twin though - I've bought another little camera which I've tried mounting to my VTR. Haven't had much luck - nothing but shaky images so far. Using the other camera on the VTR is not an option.

Pinned to my jacket...

Should be a good day out for a good cause, plus the opportunity to get in the track, Mangamarie, and the Taka's on the way down.

Tentatively say 8 am departure from Ashhurst?

8...........ish. riding the bike? could be an idea!

Glen our vidoegrapher on the Drift Team designs and fabricates all his own mounts and dollys for the car and the bike vids he gets of us. If you wanted a decent looking custom mount at a reasonalble price that will fit your bike and eliminate vibration hes the man for the job. Hes a CAD wizz and pretty handy on the lathe too.

At this stage Brian, Mark & I are looking at doing the dawn parade and then grabbing the bikes for a quiet pootle down and over Paikok. Brekkie somewhere enroute.
