End of Exams Ride - Sunday 6 July

[klyong82]

I think two groups is a good idea. In fact, I may ride solo and meet you guys at the lunch stop (I can't face anymore stares or head shaking from Squiggles).

Nish... I thought you were my Coro Loop bitch?!

I'll be able to test the PC3 and pilot power on this trip ...googling for mappings etc...now

The guy who Dyno'd my bike and set up the fuel map for the PC III said that basically there is little freedom of mapping once you find the optimal fuel / air mixture i.e. the other maps won't make much difference to power and will likely result in rev ranges of lean or rich mixtures.

He could be wrong, but that's what i was told. I too had plans to plug in my laptop and do cool shit with the PC III but it sounds like it's a waste of time trying to change Dyno-tuned settings.

BTW: Love the tag, "nish did a coropoops" and no, it wasn't me who added it!

All this power commander thing is new to me but reading from the various sites does suggest what you just told me. Will see mate....

As for the tyres, I put some Pilot 2CTs on a few weeks back. I'd be keen to hear what you think of them. I think they are average-to-crap as the rear stepped out a few times in the wet on my last Coro Loop and I also fishtailed on a straight piece of road in top gear at approx 120kph - gave me a freakin heart attack!

Well my bike is gonna be weird I got 2 good tires.....front is Pirelli Diablo which I used on my previous Fireblade they are ok once warmed up while the rear is pilot power...I hear from Raj that they are wonderful tires.

Might just dump both tires and grab some conti's sport attacks if I find there do not fit my riding.

Give the old rear to Chris for some burnouts. 'Ol Raj eh? Does that cat still ride?

OK all -

My original plan was to pick up the VFR on Saturday. The weather looks dirty that day. Sunday looks much better

I have found cheap bus fares which will get me to Katikati on Sunday shortly after 3. If you fellas are heading back to Auckers, I should be able to tag along for the latter part of the ride. If I miss you all, that's OK too, as I don't want to hold anyone up, and I'm sure I'll enjoy the trip just fine on teh beast of newness!

What is the route/approx timings? Unfortunately bus timetables are not known for their flexibility... (I know times will be VERY approx. We have phones,and can liase that way if it suits...)

weather looks trouble free on sunday : http://www.metvuw.com/forecast/forec...n=nzni&tim=120

So I will be pulling a sickie after all. Cant wait completely.


Are we going trough Miranda rd on the way there ?

[Ragingrob]

Yep I'm sure we will be, the main highway is boring as through to Kopu! How are those vids coming along?

need video compressing software.

the vid is good but a bit shaky. i'm gonna find some rubber washers to put on it to try to prevent vibrations a bit

[motorbyclist]

and wear thermals to get yourself warm

lol i find it's hard work hauling the viffer around the coro loop at isaac/raj speed

end up with unzipped jacket etc and still sweating!

don't worry, we'd be far out of his sight soon enough

that is provided you can get atleast 2 minutes from uni without binning it

yeah, once it's at optimum it's at optimum - you can only get so much from an engine so don't expect miracles that aren't in the form of a supercharger

that's me not being able to find the paul st bike park... must be going blind(er)


workshop course, to help me better "make one" when i need new bike bits

Yes highly probably we will head out Miranda route then proceed to Coro....better hit the twisties in the morning since we are nice and fresh to attack those corners. Might come back thru SH1 if everyone is tired.

Hi Macstar don't think I'll be giving my rear PP as it is new but the diablo is half worn....by the way I am too poor for the next month gonna have to survive on instant noodles then.

Even I found that last comment funny thanks MotorB. It's a day I'll never forget and one reason I want to be upfront away from everyone else!

You however are a good Coro loop budy and I'm looking forward to hitting some of dem corners this Sunday with you. Maybe you can set the pace this time?

Baby hornet is tagging along too
