as the saying goes ' at the raising and settling of the sun, we shall remember them '
its a good time to slow/stop as visibility is reduced, esp when travelling toward the light

ride within your lights - granda nice to see your lights have improved - you will need to adjust to your new suspension settings too.

Sis, you should consider a light augmentation as well, your light is like a candle in the wind.

still got to finish my light wiring

levers adjusted - much better, need to get adjustable ones to make it 100%. But riding is a whole lot better, I can reach the brake at 50% of the throttle.

doing longer rides to build up muscle lost. Then will do those rides that require more control like Maraetai etc.
getting better with road position, lines but a long way to go.

Workmates said a biker was down this morning just before Mt wellington off ramp heading north (on the Southern) in the fast lane (which is the slowest at times). It must have happened after I went through. Involved cars as well. Anyone know who/what.

There was a new Honda CBR1000RR down the day before yesterday just after Manukau too..

so who was asking about a economy run? 300ks non-stop? Im in for that challenge.

I'd be keen - no way my bike can make 300km though.

[granda]

Might just squeeze 300 out of the gsx but would have some spare in the thermus

We can do a moving refuel. I will strap a fuel can to my top box with a hose. You can ride behind me and refill.

Wow. Top Gun eat your heart out. 😃
