I need an incentive!

[Oscar]

Hell yes.
We'll need a tractor to recover bikes from the surf at turn 1

You're right.
I need to lay me hands on a YZ490...


BTW - How'd the auction go?

[tri boy]

BTW - How'd the auction go?

Bike lifts went for $380, but they were a bit short in length, so I didn't bother.
The presses were too expensive, but I picked up some shelving and a ladder

[Steelie]

Im keen. Just finished bolting on a screen, heated grips, aux plug. Was all for the MMM ride which never happened for me.
Will be going for test next Sunday heading for the west coast south of Port Waikato.

Hi Iain, you can ride my spare DR while the KTM is off the road, after a wee while that would be plently of incentive to get yours back on the road.
Woodhill next week.

Cheers
Al

Thanks (I think) ...the 950 not available then?

Woodhill is on my calendar, the 200 is ready and I'm frothing at the mouth as I missed the last ride.

Beach racing?!
Can I bring me 950?

You should Oscar, it's been a while, FNAR wasn't it?

Come to the Naki for a night, can offer you a spare bed and rum (and of course our wonderful company!!)

As long as Colin isn't organising the route.... his reputation precedes him!

oh, this one make me wanna buy a dirty bike and come and play with you all.

oh, oh, oh...

There are always vacancies for dirty girls.......


(Hope Scummy isn't watching)



An update then:
Rear suspension sorted, motor back together but my money saving purchase of a not quite the best chain and sprockets has been an epic failure as they are knackered after 5000kms, bugger!
I got distracted by the temptation of alcohol and friendly company so the last 4 hours have been less than productive, Marlborough Pinot Gris is ok tho.
Carb and front end tomorrow night (more alcohol and Super bikes tonight).

Yeah, I popped a rib cartlidge there - feckin' thing still bothers me..

[trustme]

Saturday or Sunday ???. Sundays are reserved for riding with wifey. Heading to Wellington for work late this month [25th]
If timing works I'll be a starter, might try & rustle up Barry.

Bikes away getting it's exhaust modified slightly fo the new muffler, chain and sprockets on order (must hide the visa statement when it turns up) and I should be back on the road on saturday minus tyres (next week).

So, when are we going on this ride Brent?

[Crim]

I should be back on the road on saturday minus tyres

Wouldn't go too far it will bugger your rims

[NordieBoy]

Wouldn't go too far it will bugger your rims

Should be able to park without the stand though.

Should be able to park without the stand though.

We ran an A50 in a moped mayhem once (dressed up as a Marlboro Desert Racer), and ended up sawing off the rear tyre after a half an hour of running it flat. Man did it go around corners...

Heavy duty tubes..... what could possibly go wrong?

[NordieBoy]

Heavy duty tubes..... what could possibly go wrong?

I would hazard that they'd work perfectly until the first camera came out...

[Tony W]

Crisis ! What crisis ?

Never did I hear a complaint about the DR....

Too much Orange in your beer, Buddy

Your mates are telling you what you really want !

Maintenance is something Suzuki owners pay their exes......
...not slaving in the shed, living the Tangerine Dream...

Kindest Regards

[Crisis management]

Gee thanks Tony.......


The paint shaker is back in action, runs better with the new pipe and re-jetting and so far I seem to have put it all back together correctly (nothing left over or fell off). Shake down ride next week sometime, I'm off trail riding tomorrow!



Now, I do need an adventure ride organised.

[Tug Boat]

Could be in what date there is possibly 3 keen riders from Tauranga
