Hi breakaway, where did you get your plastics welded? was it expensive? It is slowly looking like before all you need to do is a good panelbeating on the tank and a paintjob. There is someone on KB offering to paint bikers for a good price. You have to search.

Hey bro your CBR is looking way better than it was last time aye.

I am glad you took the sellotape off the back seat man!

That was some ruthless D.I.Y. job but what the heck, it did the job man.

[breakaway]

I didn't get anything plastic welded. I bought new panels (the gold ones) for $50 total. The rear red bit with "Honda" written on it cost me $40

The front fairing was fixed thanks to Fynn (westie) . It was fiberglass, so we just patched up the holes with fiberglass, sanded the shit out of it, and then bogged, then sand it more, then undercoated. The screen brace was fixed by Warren from Virgin Mufflers.

I also got the pillion seat lock sorted out, got a new latch and stuff

[bomma]

im really REALLY KEEN for this ride so i hope the bloody weather is good or i might have to go on a killing spree

or just wait till next weekend and hope the weather is fine then

oh n ps. great work on your bike breakaway!! good to see her in one piece again instead of many many pieces held together with sticky tape and bungie ties

[motorbyclist]

hehe, i've just decided on a route via bethels then piha and ending at hells pizza titirangi (and i'll escort you noobs to the motorway if you're too lost :P)

should be a few hours - breakfast suggested

google confirms that it'll take about 3 hours, so we won't get to pizza till atleast 3pm

[motorbyclist]

route indication - will be windy and keeps out of the 50k suburbs as much as possible

That's what I thought when I saw it at the bottom of that bank, but the frame and mechanical bits have been checked out, and it rides just as well as it used to before the little mishap. Except I think the front brake is grabbing a bit more than normal

check your front brake discs aren't bent or they may lock unexpectedly under heavy braking - just use a whiteboard marker to check, and a spanner to bend it back (carefully!)

as for weather:
remember we (they) cannot reliably forecast more than 3 days ahead, and as a westie i tell you now they have no idea about what's happening in the ranges (nor woodhill) - i'll check the surfaces for roadworks/gravel/holes on saturday
