Manawatu Rant n Rave

[ducatilover]

That's impressive
Went for a tootle to W(h)anganui today to see a lovely lass and my goodness I am sore, perhaps it's time to move on from the CB? My backs gone west, my buggered hip is hurtingand my knees are rooted.
Or I shouldn't have crashed the Bros650....?
I could do 500km on the Spada no sweat in a day, I'm fitter than I was when I last did that, yet after a total of 2 hours on the CB I am rooted. I better get the Kwack going, because it feels uber comfy while I've sat on it and made brrrrm brrm brm noises.

Must say it is very entertaining!!! Especially their starts on the grid, about 20 a row, hardly any elbow room, its surprising how they all make it out of the first corner.

Yeah it is entertaining alright.

Especially the girls in their tight jeans and stilettos running across the track.

You mean the girls don't ride bikes

Interesting way of doing KER, guess you could have two wheel drive the same way if needed, wonder if the suspension is compromised by it though. Obviously not too much as he seems to be kicking ass!

The Kawafatty is alive, it's freakin gutlesss and has a bit of cam chain rattle, but nothing I can't fix with lube and a hammer....
I'll take it for a decent ride tonight to try clear it's lungs and see how that works.
The to do list is, thrash it, new clutch cable and a nice service, then drink some beer.

Yes it's interesting alright although the Mavizen TTX 02 is a much more elegant solution. (too look at)

Rode the Kawafatty to Bunnythorpe today (new house!) and it was still superbly gutless, I honestly think it's slower than a GPX250 at the moment...
It's pulling happily enough to 5krpm, and is dead from 6krpm upwards. When the clutch is in, it revs happily and drops revs off the gas good, until it hits to the 5 thousand mark again and it starts to drop away very slowly. The throttle seems to be shutting so it must be very, very out of sync. y the headlight.
Will get the tune up specs and go over her.
'Twas very comfy to ride and last night I was impressed by the headlight.
