Waikato ADV rides!

[oneblackflag]

How much does reserve hold, Ktm will do 80ks on that (you tend to back of a bit once light goes on) so you might have more range than you think ?

Nice pics BTW

Cheers.

Get ~50 on reserve. Neutral tank now so I can see whats in there now, but did't run down to fuel light, only place for gas was at Port Waikato. Possibly could have done 200ish.

You coming down for a ride some time?

chuck a 5L can on the back and ride till you run dry. what i do is empty tank at home put 2L in with the 5 on the back and ride till its dry... i always forget to keep tabs on the longer trips

Yea will start doing that. Have a tail bag on now, may put 2 1L bottles in it on top of the tools (but under the coke)

Might head out Old Mountain Rd way today. Probably around lunch if anyone's keen. No real plan (Other than not coming off and needing a plate in the shoulder... Not refering to anyone..)

watch out late in the day if your head back through there as some of the lifestyle tossers drive there 4x4's like a rally car coming up the hill.

Yer, overdue for a run yous guys way

Funny that 2 1L bottle thing, My DR (that Dino also owned once) came with 2 1L reserve fuel cans mounted at the back, as the fuel range is around 500ks on the standard 29litre tank I"m unsure where in NZ you would have call for that

PO said one was for bourbon the other for the coke

You do need an eye opener now and then I guess

He lied, just had a sniff its fuel alright, The Danger Fuel written on the sides is a bit of give away to

Think someone was paranoid about running of gas

After 500ks without a fuel stop I'd be worried about something else

^^Think I might have a go at this.... Give the WRR a workout. Never done one of these events before. Any of you guys do them on your Dual sports?


Went for a bit of an adventure a couple days ago... Through the Taupri Range... Probably trespassing? wasn't stoped though



Lots of gates and livestock to navigate..



Also went out Old Mountain road area.

Waikoha road was pobably my fave, even though its a dead end; locked gate so you cant go up the track there.




Begining to learn 90% of the tracks I visit after searching topo maps are not accessible. Thats why I'll start doing organized rides; want to get some tight & tricky stuff in.

Oh maybe I shouldn't be posting my own solo reports in here? Annoying?

I might just keep blog to keep a record of what I was up to when... Save this thread more for group rides; and your minds from my drivel

Yeah both good routes. Basicly did the second one a couple days ago.

Went and had a looksie at the Aprilia RXV at NTB today reeeal nice bike felt so light and nice just sitting on the thing. They want to much for it though, salesman even admitted that, bosses bike or something.

Turn around and run, they haven't got your number have they, Admit it I'd be tempted though and it would need a lot of mods to be rideable, 20oz flywheel, 25litre tank, remaping of injection for resonable fuel economy, bar end weights to stop vibes, new seat, and so on and so on

Then she'd be trick and perhaps even practical

BTW nice ride report
