How would everyone feel about taking food and finding a nice place to sit and eat? I saw some really great places by the lake yesterday. How many have packs or similar on their bikes? It’s just an idea and most might just want to grab it on the run. That’s cool. After all I have a Mooo to make mine….

Thats interesting.
I do have a pack rack for the Speedy.
I would like to do that lake ride as per yesterday.
Well the part after Taupo.

I'm on holiday from 24 - 14th and plan to do a bit of riding, so am up for something, altho I promised the cook I'd take her on a day jaunt to Wairoa.
But am keen for maybe a few all days rides over that period.

Just a post to say that this Saturday I wont be on the Sat ride, we're having a BBQ, drinks etc at home to supposedly celebrate the old girl's birthday.

Taking her down the road for lunch at a winery but should be back by 4pm, so you're all welcome to come. Could make it our Xmas BBQ if you wish. Maybe call in on your ride or after etc etc.
Prob not too many folk here, just some of her weirdo horsey mates (don't tell her I said that) and others, so your all welcome.

Now I have heard of this ride. It is suppose to be really good. So when do we plan on doing it?



Is this via Wimbldom? (sp) If yes it is a really good ride

I head back to work on the 8th January. All the weekends after that are taken up with several track days.

Throw up a couple dates and see what people think. After last weekend Cindy is keen as mustard

I have found a bike for the Jan Track day provided it survives the Endurance Race on the 29th

Mmmmm who's bike is that?

[stormy1]

Well im pissed off.

Was just leaving work to pop home for lunch today, down the vehicle crossing out onto Dalton street when the motor died just as I was about to let the clutch out and open up the throttle. Upshot is that I was unbalanced and had to rather ungracefully step of the bike as she fell over onto the road. It is so nice to have an Audience for that type of thing. Just a few minor scuffs on the bike, nothing broken but my pride and dammed embarrasing!

Had one of my work mates in his car behind me as well!

Grazed so wont cut out, only minor fortunately as the bike was only doing a couple of km/hr. Yeah the engine was cold. They have a habit of just dying until the motor is well warmed up. Have read somewhere that the VTR's do that. Probably something to do with a large displacement twin and compression I guess. Sucks all the same

BTW Tony, will definatley try and get up to yours Saturday evening!

Yep, I always warmed my VTR up well before moving off.
Choke full out to start, then eased in for a while then right in, then off.
But I guess sometimes you can't stand around and wait for it to warm up.
