Watch out if you do change the speedo to MPH especially after clocking up a few K's. Your grey matter is going to forget occasionally and trick you into to going "70" in a ""70"" zone and "100" in a ""100"" zone. Well that was my excuse anyway.

Its a good excuse too Bad Dad - I'll have to remember that one.

Well I just got it back home and its in showroom condition, not even the hint that someone might have had a remote thought of scratching it.

If anyones got any doubts about the seller I can put their mind at rest, great people to deal with, bike has even had a full service at a triumph dealer.

Well . . .another expensive blonde in my life - but Im not complaining.

Wont be able to ride it properly for a few weeks so will have to be patient.

PS Trumpy - who's Shaun??

Cheers Erin

Shaun Harris. Signs on as Shaun. Send him a PM to discuss a suspension set up if you would like him to do one (highly recommended by lots of people on this site).

Bearing in mind he is in Taranaki. Anyone know how long it takes to ride Wellington to Taranaki?

Once you get past all the silly speed restrictions out toward Paekak it's all good going. Just be aware that the road from somewhere south of Hawera to New Plymouth is a great little earner for Helen so she seems to have concentrated extra resources there. I rode from NP to Wanganui the other night and only saw three tax gatherers, two muftis and a HP car, all near Eltham on the way home.

Four hours should do it comfortably, allow extra for sitting around eating fish and chips or whatever...

The lenght of a piece of string is the measured distance between the begining and the end...hope that helps?...

Dave if youve got the code handy to change the speedo from Mph to Kph i'd appreciate it.

Hold down the select button for five seconds. It's not in the manual, but I tripped across it while trying to change the time on the clock.

Cheers Dave,

That was so easy and will make life so much easier than trying to work out what the speed is times 1.6.
