Yeah, bloody corregations! I think the set up is too stiff now but I took some advice from a chap in the wangas motorcycle club who has a bike like mine and it's made some pretty reasonable improvements in general but down hill corregations have taken a backward step me thinks, it's a piss awful bike going down hill anyway and this setting has'nt done that any favors when it's asked to done anything but smooth tarmac.

have placed notice in road updates but is worth placing here for the manawatu lot and with so many bikes heading out this way on saturday with the rat raid

That will teach me for not going online before the ride and 86 forgot to mention it

ops: I only noticed it as I came round the bend at your place and SK1PY's back end did more than a little wobble, that slowed me down for a bit for sure !!!

He sure should have, must admit though I was starting to sweat that I was going to run out on the road to Napier and began counting the k's. Never actually made it onto reserve but realised that I had not been paying proper attention to fuel etc

having too much fun!!!

yeah. rough weekend. Definietly should have come to gisborne. Would have made this week a shole lot easier.

And the gas thing. The gsx600F has the worlds biggest fuel guage and that is great. The zx9r has none and that sucks. On longer rides it doesnt bother me cause I fill up and the next gas station after reserve but this tootling off to work and back I forget when I switch it over. I must have switched it over on the cafe ride on Friday night I think but I dont remember doing it. Might have to work on a solution for that.

it was a great wee ride .. sighs can not wait to get my bike back though ...

Looked pretty good in the mirrors too! Weather was primo on the way home.

Concours got awesome economy too - 80km/h in top will do that...

I was going to mow a big "YOD" on the front as it slopes toward the road and would be readable as people drive past haha

The round up would just be a little harsh... Could have put half a dozen sheep on there though
