Just been outside cleaning the bike is/has anyone else?

Feels like its gonna be a bloody cold night tonight....... tomorrow night aint goin to be any warmer either...definately a night for the thermals...

As quoted last week, I purchased a PROGRIP visor insert (Which Qkkid needs to avoid tickets - but thats another story..) from Henderson Motorcycles. Put it in me helmet and PRESTO! all fog is now non-existent. This insert even has photocromic qualities too (light sensitive). If it's bright outside it automatically tints for you (not very dark but enough), so is ideal for those who travel to work in the dark and come home in daylight or vice-versa. VERY RECOMMENDED if you want to enjoy the ATNR. Just wished I hadn't spent all those prior years trying to keep my visor clear. Spent enough $$$'s on products that dont work where this one is one application (it sticks to the inside like a second skin) Bit of useful reading - Comparasion between Fog City and Progrip anti-fog Visor inserts

HI new to the site so apologies if I have missed finding these rides listed, but are there any similar / longer rides running on weekends ex the shore or similar ?
also re the westgate ride looks like mostly sport bikes is this ride pegged back enough for sports tourers or would one be riding alone lol

Mate as mch as it looks like sports bikes only im sure you could keep up. Im on a 600 bandit and thought the same thing the first time but as long as you take it at your own pace you will be fine. Once again Ill drag myself along tomorrow. Work this week sucked and I need a good ride to make it all better.

**Phenoix** · 16th August 2006, 23:02

its only looks like sports bikes, but we got GN250 in there too :P
Aslong as you can ride at 100 there wont be a problem,
ONE too many cops, there out there gunning for us (In a silver car rego BRK154)
But you shouldnt get lost, theres a tail end charlie who sorts ya out.

Now where's Mark, putting a bike together ?
Wonder if it will turn up with 2 wheels ?

**Qkkid** · 17th August 2006, 06:06
