    Congrats Wil on the news of your next projects. It's good having them pretty close together as they'll have readymade playmates leaving you plenty of time (not) to work on the bike/s.

    Have you got a 3d printer at work? I've been reading The shed mag & my word the things you can make if you had time

    Edit- just saw pics wahoo!!!! you've got Full floater suspension- Kawasaki have been working on that for years!!!!

    No 3D printer yet, I've played with em a bit at uni, haven't come down in price as much or as fast as they had predicted. (Mind you in 2006 it cost $150 to make a golf tee)...Boys College has a multi axis CNC milling machine, phwoar

    as for the time for working on bikes note sending them away to the in-laws is the key, this time anyway!

    As crap as it looks it's been built out of three bikes and runs well and I have more parts than I know what to do with so there na na na na na
    I'm hoping that simply taking the carb off and sticking it on my bike will produce a miracle, if not it leads me back to electrics again and I also have a cunning plan if that is the case...
    A few TT600 parts here too

    Need to do a bit of maintenance before any longer rides. There's a crack in the front rim and most of the spokes are loose...

    I'll just go for a hoon up Hira or the Maungatapu in the afternoon.

    Haha, none taken, sense of humour is compulsory when you buy cheap bikes...who'd have thunk that the airbox makes a big difference when tuning?

    Sounds loverly clocked up 2km today on my 20 m long driveway...so I've almost got two runners : Going to get it very sorted this time before I wof/reg.

    That was successful.
    Some new, very mucky skidder tracks that would have been a bit dodgy on the bigger bikes.

    No-one fell off at all.

    Nothing to see here, move right along...

    If I'd actually looped the TT then there'd be photos, right?

    Damn I wish I wasa bit quicker on the draw with the old camera phone. Itwas an impressive loopdeloop - similar to Jatz'on the CT.
    For once I thinkI had the better of the Nordiemonster
    Great ride.I reallylike the quick 2 hr rides. Really enjoying the flexibility of the lite bikes (& my back again).

    My fuel range is getting better too- got 120ks before I got to reserve. 120ksout of 8litres= 15k/l I am guessing. Def buying the 17L tank bugger the extra expense.
