Can't offer you a lift as the trailer will be full, but be good to catch up again if you can get there..... 0274272064.... Phil.

I would love to come although I am worried cos I haven't done my 10 hour service and I'm sure I have done more than 10 hours on my bike... And transport may be an issue for me... I will have a think about it and get back to you!

Fairly quiet at the moment though due to the summer migration to the beach.
God bless bikini's

Sounds all gravy except for the fact that I work full time...

It would be Ideal for you to meet A&R and his daughters, and Climintie and his daughter. And all the KB Crowd going. It doesn't happen often that they are all in one spot unless I organise it! LOL!

But in saying that the first service after a recon or on a new bike is the most necessary to clean out all the foreign manufacturing particles and crap.

Did you get the stuff on the list to do your filter and oil change?? It'll only take about 30 mins to do both.

Secondly not sure if I'm going yet but my daughter is away in Hastings and my son has to work so if I go to Thunder I'll have room on the Ute, seeing as your local Howick we could share the gas??
Up to you?

PS you get into Thunder free!

Yeah I met clmintie and his girls at the broxy rider coaching day... would be wicked to catch up! I only got paid yesterday so no i havent had a chance to get all that crap... would it be worth running the risk of just postponing the service and going anyway??

Ouch tuff call Sammy, seeing as how the bikes not mine.
The Drz isn't hard on its bits (depending how you ride) compared to a 125 screemer, it should be ok.
But if it where mine I'd not ride a bike that hasn't had the filter cleaned for 30 hours and because it is its very first oil change its fairly important if your keeping it, in my humble opinion.
Filter oil and 4L gearbox oil from say Botany Honda should only cost $50-60-00. If your short just get a litre of gearbox oil. Your bike probably only takes about 6-700ml.
Tub of general grease from Repco Dunno $10-00 bucks! They sell small 300ml Castrol Filter oil there for $9-00 as well I think.
Litre of kero from Bunnings ??
There's that auto place in Bunnings carpark as well! You might even get the lot there. But don't let them sell you car oil for your gearbox it must be for a bike because of the wet clutch.

Be safe, go shopping, then give me a call and I'll show you and your hubby how I clean mine. your going to need it all in the future anyway its part of biking (the must do stuff). You'll only need to be shown once as well, its not hard, as I say 30mins tops.
PM me your number if you need help!

I wouldn't say i'd done 30 hrs, probably like 10-15... but never been ridden very hard, like i said i dont have good skills yet! Hang on i'll PM you.

10 hours ain't bad. Get the manual out, take the cover off, have a look at the filter if it ain't caked in dust and looks fairly clean should be ok.

Got your PM I'll txt you if I go! Gotta see whats on the family schedule first!

**SpikedPunch** · 5th February 2009, 15:24

Oh man oh man, I really want to go to thunder now and I have nothing to ride, ultimate suckage

**clmintie** · 5th February 2009, 15:31

Grace says you can have a couple of laps on her kx85 (but not too much...

) at Thunder tomorrow...............

**SpikedPunch** · 5th February 2009, 15:43

Tell her thank you very much for the offer

I'd be way too paranoid about dropping it down one of the hills there tho! I crash a lot, better to do it on my own bike

The little devil on my shoulder is saying I should just dip into the savings and buy the new bike now and sell the old one later, or hang onto it....And wouldn't it be nice to have something my friends could ride?...Naughty little thing!

**flyingcr250** · 7th February 2009, 09:23

i went riding with a couple of girls last weekend, they double teamed me all day, pushing me off, blocking so i couldnt pass, and stealing all my food and water, it was a funny old day i tells ya.

**surfchick** · 10th February 2009, 13:08

Hi Ive just sold the 996 to have a good crack at dirt riding - have worked so much this summer and hardly ridden at all - but keen as

It seems to take forever to get all the gear together, last on my list is to add attachement points into the van so i don't have to ride to woodhill... from te atatu... doh
