AGM & BBQ @ Wildwest - Sunday 30th 1:30pm

[twinkle]

haha ok, that makes sense.

[Phurrball]

ZOMG! My worlds are colliding! I now have an association -- face and real-world persona, and KB persona. They have merged! I know who you are now The FXR threw me. I should've guessed from the Bandit talk.

Yeah it did get particularly poor, the weather. At least we tried to get to Huia, unlike the rest of you lazy girly bikers It was very slippery coming down the first sealed section of Huia Rd; my back wheel was locking under compression when I banged down gears, and I was very nervous about pushing the front. I enjoy riding in rain, but perhaps because of the great weather yesterday there seemed even less grip than usual.

Aye, the FXR is a bit sneaky...roll on my 'new' VTR1000! *When the mrs lets me have it after exams...roll on November!*

Yep - that first bit of Huia rd can be nasty in the wet - I'm very used to it as I ride it every time I go out on th ebike without fail. The FXR was coping pretty well, in spite of a rear tyre balder than I am... There aren't too many tar-snakes on the downhill - the uphill is far worse on the same road...as you guys would have found out on the way back...and there's that nasty manhole cover you don't see till the last minute even if you know it's there on a slightly off-camber right hander. Love those roads - but they need respect - especially in the wet...

firstly lol at the comparison and secondly that fxr has done a lot of city kms mate!! if you just lean it heaps but manage to go in a straight line then you got heapsa tread left everywhere but the centre!!!

ps. aint bald tyres fun in the wet

[Phurrball]

Oh, the FXR has done city kms - but there ain't much chicken strip left since I've been abusing it. Loving the westie twisties every day I ride home.

That, and it's a poxy Pirelli tyre - good, but poor wear! Avons all round for me where possible!

[motorbyclist]

Yeah I reckon. And it wasn't even done tactfully i.e. some yobo was yelling it out in store and in front of Don that we were off to Motomail.

Well at least i was not asking to take that Goldwing out for a ride. I think the Fireblade is a good compromise....

[HungusMaximist]

Bro, good news!

I ordered my air filter from Don (Wild West Honda) and it's only gonna cost me fifty bucks.

It definitely beats paying the full retail of $ 82.00 bucks....

If WWH kepp this up, soon enough I am gonna start giving them my full business...

$50 is good price. Air filter normally sell for $70 buckaroos. Good on WWH

Just off the stand when he was parking it. Mega pissed! It was in good cosmetic nick before that, too.

Oh well, just a new screen, and his left indicator was dangling off at a funny angle when we rode off. Somebody told him at the lights I think.

One of the nicest CBRs around. The can is mint -- not much bigger than a cigar, although it's not obscenely loud, which is nice. Just a really nice tone.

[Macstar]

I saw it all through the window, went to help pick up the bike but 4-5 guys were there before me and I had a beer in my hand too. Unfortunately, it wasn't a well co-ordinated pickup and was dragged forward a bit at the same time (no doubt adding extra scratches to the poor fella's CBR).

Bit of a rant, but if your bike does ever drop, try and make sure it's picked directly up and by 2 or 3 guys. This will hopefully help minimise the damage.

Just as some bikes have engine kills on their side stand, I reckon stands should have a locking pin connected to the bike's ignition. It's amazing how many newbies and old dogs fail to secure their sidestand properly leading to a drop. I've seen it happen five times in the last 4 weeks!
