Friday Night Rants?

[Grumph]

fuck... its hot

And coming back from town, small fire not far from you on the Bealey...I can smell smoke and there are emergency vehicles coming through as i type.

And it's blowing a howling Nor-West bloody gale...

Fucking idiots who'd burn anything off in this weather should be hung - another siren just through here too.

edit - just been for a look. Bottom end of the Downs Rd for those who know the area. Multi brigade callout. Cops everywhere. wind had better drop later on.
Don't think we're in the direct path but I'll be watching anyway.

Well given it's the secondary main road south, of bloody course it's not endless. Stops at bloody Bluff.

I see they've got a chopper and bucket up now - maybe two drops before it's too dark. Think an ambulance went back to ChCh earlier.
we may make the news yet...The one I saw earlier was corner of Essendon rd, no one in attendance either....

[Madness]

Thanks D. Keep ranting, it's making me feel better.

So, finally get into the settings menu on the Tuono. Ya can't turn the anti wheelie off all together. WHAT THE FUCK? I set it to the minimum and off I went. It's fucken sketchy I tell ya! Dip of the clutch with enough throttle and it will come up high enough that when the ECU shuts the taps, it'll maintain a good wheelie. But when I say 'high enough', I mean 'have your right foot hovering on the rear brake pedal'. You've gotta get it past the balance point long enough for everything to calm down and smooth out.

Later reflection with the owner, we wondered if the traction control wasn't part of the problem. Because I'm stabbing the clutch to hoist, the rear wheel accelerates real quick like.

We then discovered that ya have to put the bike in race mode, to completely turn all that shit off. I'll try that if I ride it again.

Fucken hell. What happened to thumbing the starter, and twisting the fucken throttle to go have fun?

hey mate... its the way its going, what Tuono ya got? KBer thunder (english for Tuono) just sold his V4 the thing was mental fucking psychotic... yet it pissed ya off aswell, my 1st ride was hell bending, Im used to tapping the rear to slide it around, did that on the v4 and it does the anti lock up sending me straight not round the bend... hit a straight open it up front starts to lift then comes down WTF the taps still wide open, then theres the anti wheel spin... give me a good old shitter that YOU ride and control not the other way round
