Hi

Just found out about this site. I would love to join up with some of the rides, I have been riding for four years this time round but havent done many weekend rides, havent been looking in the right places it seems.

Would love to hear from someone with information about your rides.

Thanks

Welcome to K/B Greg. Just turn up for the rides mate. As S/P said. You will also note a few of us are off to Taupo next Sunday for racing. Come along. You will catch up with the local K/B group here. This is home for all sorts of chat and Bullshit but a great place to plan rides and things. Looking forward to catching up.

Have a ball Rob. We will look forward to your report mate over a few sometime. Ride safe and test ride a Gixxer while you are out and about

Time to take the first Pilot Road2 off the rear of the Gixxer. It has traveled 10,300 km. I was getting between 3-5K out of the Pilot sports.
Just some info to share. Good tyres in my opinion.

Clubmans, so looking forward to seeing my man race that's for sure. Nothing more satisfying than the big grin he will have on his face when he pulls into the pits

Come check out the Pilot Power 2CT rear on Betty on Sunday, 5000km on the road and 2 trackdays and there's still a race meet and another trackday left in it.



You'd get 10,000km of smooth road riding out of one, I reckon. And the grip is just so superior to the PR2s. Particularly at the front. You wouldn't want to mix and match, though; the PP rear profile is a lot pointier than the PR2's.

Actually, superior grip at the rear, too - I used to have Betty's arse swinging out on the gas on the road with the PR2s, but it was only at the most recent trackday that I had a couple of very minor power slides (coming out of the back hairpin on the A1GP track) on the PP 2CT. The PPs are just like being superglued to the road in comparison to 'sport touring' tyres.

Cool. Unfortunately I have a set of Road2 sitting here so will have to use them. I can’t complain cos they cost me $400.00 for the set. Remember my Gixxer is only a 750 and with my weight I seldom have problems with the back sliding.
Will consider a change next time.
Looking forward to seeing you on the track. Will be a good weekend mate. See you there.

True true, Paddy just commented to me via MSN that he didn't notice any sliding happening on your bike, could well be a geometry/torque thing.

But hey, you know I'm going to preach the word regardless.



Catch yous fullas Sunday!

Hey thats cool, another Duc.

Place been taken over by Zukis!!!

What they said. It was a nice ride. No animals on da road….. Did you notice that? Was really nice up at the river. Could do that more often. I hope to take a day off this week and hit the road early for some fuel burning and tyre running in. And hopefully a heap of time drinking tea telling storey, some true many not. Taupo way I recon. So if you are free on Wednesday or Thursday send a PM or here and lets see what we can do.

Yeah the road was pretty damn good, nothing out of the norm for there.
The only animals I saw..........or should I say picked up was bacon.
Good grip too despite the tar melt.

Just might go out this week after work for a few HW50 jaunts.
