    "Nice action" Peeteey - yeah great bike the DR thumper.


    I've been roped (lol) into sailing tomorrow, have a cracker out on the trail !


    Hot - Sam could check what the compression setting etc are set at - if he sets all compression to hard and backs it off anti clockwise one or two turns he should be sweet


    ..and you can help out with a "dragging ass end" brp?? no liposuction needed??
    Is the world ready for a naked brp on a BRP??
    Could get it looking perkier with the right positioning ...

    Might be done for visual pollution by the ecilops if ride naked at the mo - being able to do the fly up on my Trade me purchased pants not a bad incentive to shed - had them 6 months though

    Looks like a great day for a ride. See you all at 11.30.

    And no summit road today.
    And remember ...... if it hasn't got one of "Uncle Flip's" prosthetic kickers it isn't a real motorbike!!!

    I did txt you eventually, it's a bit hard to read them when you're riding

    Bit frosty for the summit road today I think, probably a bit much grit around for it to be fun for anybody

    See ya's there

    Ahh, grit.... more of a challenge than gravel, but you're right, grit on seal is indeed less fun.

    No grit or shit to be seen, roads were mint considering the time of year and weather we have had. In fact so enjoyable while waiting for the group en route I did LR twice... then found em meandering along up to the HT and down to Barrys... shit could keep going but alashad beter put an aperance in at home.

    You did well today.

    First time out with us was the Summit Road. Second time out with us to Akaroa. Thrown in the deep end twice!!!!!!!!!!

    I think you are starting to get the idea on corners as well. You were definately cornering better towards the end of the ride.

    See you next week???????????

    Awesome day for a ride today, Saturdays have been good to us lately (well except last week, but there were other things afoot then anyway)

    Hope you all didn't mind pootling along behind me 2 up on the old 600, the roads were pretty good considering the frost this morning although I did poke the nose tentatively around a few corners just in case, particularly when there was still frost on the grass on the way around to little river. Fish & chips were good, holy crap that place must do some business, it's a good day when you can sit outside in the sun in the middle of winter.

    Good to see the L-platers punting the GN's along and still smiling at the end, with gloplg keeping an eye on caz and robert riding some nice lines from duvauchelle up to the hilltop on the way home. If you guys can cope with the last couple of rides you've been on you should be good to ride anywhere now. Remember most of us are still learning, I tried briefly to hang on to dangerous down from the hilltop but that wasn't going to happen, so I've still got some work to do too.

    See ya all next time...
