Great ride yesterday, loved it. I didn't see anyone with an L plate though and I was the only person riding a 250. There was a 150 there though but I think it had a turbo...

There must be a lot of learners and 250 bikes around and I encourage them to show up for the Wedensday night ride if the weather is good. It's good fun.

hmm there was plenty of 2fiddys last week

I've got a 250. Maybe I'll come along in a couple of weeks and have all the larger bike pass me on the straights, because you know, 250s are slow, right?

There were alot of 250s last year. This year theres alot of new 600s 250s more than welcome though, Im sure there will be more as the summer continues.

[Drogen Omen]

made a small modification to my DR350 lastnight.

total cost $0
one peice of quarter inch perspecs (i had lying around)
one yellow brillo pad (from my mums kitchen)

removed the airbox cover the one with 2 tiny little breather holes and made my own custome uintake cover to allow more air to pas through... good old brillo pads... hehehehe also cleaned the airfilter and cleaned the carborator and found some grit in ti which wouldnt have help.

one of my mates said i should change the cover since im not going off road at the momenty cause the one that was on there was to protect the airfilter from water mud and dust...

now instead of toping out at 120 got her up to 140 with no probem this morning. hehehe so now i'll be able to keep up with the 250's... that 150 is way too fast for me... hehehe

Sigh. The whole point of the Wednesday rides is thoroughly dead and gone.

No longer cruisy, to the point where people modify their perfectly adequate motorcycles to "keep up".

It was actually quite cruisy last time, at least compared to the Thursday night ride I was on a while ago. We even passed a friendly officer of the law who gave us a nice wave...

The Wednesday night ride was started up to give people an alternative to the Thursday one, that didn't involve stunting and (as much as we all enjoy it) thoroughly illegal behaviour. It worries me that people mention speeds that equal reasonable fines and demerits and feel that they have to "keep up". Most of the roads used on the weekday rides aren't entirely bereft of Police presence.

"Quite cruisy" implies something else.
