I also had a very close call to losing my licence on the way home. But I won't go into it.

Fess up. It's good for the soul... just ask Stoney.

Yes it is ...untill you read more unfounded dribble in the ACC threads again...sigh

God I wish at times that all I had to worry about was stayong upright on the Hill every WNCR...oh how simple life used to be

LOL

Fess up Clintasaurus...what did you do matey????

[Eyegasm]

Right hand got a little out of control on me on the Haywards, was doing 130ish when the fuzz came round the bend and his disco party started. I had enough time to get to and pull into the sideroad of the carpark, Thank god for the line of traffic I had overtaken. (Unable to pull a quick U-turn)

Bout 10 seconds later he went flying past.

I feel bad for speeding, It really wasn't intentional, not paying attention to it.
Doubt the copper would have been lenient though.

[Bald Eagle]

Yes, we had a good ride, went over Haywards - Paekakariki Hill to Gordy's @ Paraparaumu, with the power cuts in Featherston there was fear that the beer would be warn and the chips cold.

shame , if I'd know you where coming I'd have walked over for a chat.

Where is Ray's Pies? Might sample them next time I need to burn my mouth and slow down the bike.

[Quasi]

Kapiti Road - in the block between Te Roto and Placemakers.
They are great pies

Y'all need to have a say in the FBMC Pie Run then! See Facebook - Fat Bikers Motorcycle Club!

Fat Maxx for PM!

The cornering issues some of ya are having (preferring left over right) sure we all have our prefferences but am wondering how many have measured swing arm pivot bolt to rear axle bolt to get that dead true and then check wheel allignment ? Can make a difference !

Cheers for the advice Bill. Never really thought much about wheel alignment on motorcycles. Did some reading online on how to check alignment. Went out and checked my bike using the string method and the alignment was off 6mm between left and right on the front wheel making the front wheel 3mm off centre towards the left in relation to the back wheel. Have adjusted it and it's now within half a hair's breadth of being smack on centre. Will be interesting to see if I can feel the difference.

Ouch! Might have to give that a look myself.

yeah checked the rear axle on the left side, went to measure the right and some bugger has pinched it clearly this is the whole reason for my handling issues
