    ARE YOU AN ANGRY BOOMER ABOUT ALL THE CANCELATIONS OF THIS SISSY ASS PANSY VIRUS? BLARDY SNOWFLAKE GUBMINT MATE couple of us motorcycle enthusiasts are keen to do a ride now that nats and the brass monkey are cancelled. It will be pretty no frills, fend for yourself camping type setup. If this sounds like a bit of you please register your interest and try and salvage some joy in these trying, unprecedented times. will be predominantly lower north island based. More details on the route to be provided in due course. You should come and join a bunch of reckless boomers/internet weirdos tender regards

    so i ended up getting that 40L dry bag. This Givi one. shit its good. 150 clams was steep but man so worth it. name brand quality multiple little stash pockets and all of the boomer accessories. fits my tent, sleeping bag and bedroll in the no dramas. will be a bit of tetris to try and squeeze clothes and other essentials in there but i will make it no doubt. The beauty of the durable grippy material is that it sticks to the seat, and you can lean on it, making an extremely uncomfortable bike marginally more comfortable. Bring on some beach nangs in a couple weeks to shake this puppy down

    Who wants to see a boring maintenance update? everyone. Sweet, Cool. Okay here you go Hastings Honda provided the goods, and some divine sharns of how good these bikes went back in the day. Then they ended up selling me a front brake cable that was too short. even after swooning me with shit chat, and pulling out the genuine parts manual for the exact model I still got the wrong bits. That’s parts guys for you, I guess. In the the time I’ve owned it, I’ve shouted it new front brake pads, a new fuel tap to help with its obsession with fuel wees, an oil change with some fancy motul stuff, and this afternoon we checked and set the valves correctly. it goes pretty hard for what it is tbh, it’s doing a bit of power sweat out the head gasket and rocker cover, but if it wasn’t doing oil wees I would have been more concerned. ive still got to sort a storage facility on the back; in all essence I feel a 40L dry bag strapped to the pack rack will be plenty for what I’m trying to do on this bike. Im in full Brass Monkey prep phase at the moment. Mr. Lux’s BOP ride and Nats pesting should be pretty good trials for what works and what I will need to improve on for the big trip south. will it make it??? Stay tuned

    OS boes, i have semi organised a group ride aimed for small bikes on Saturday feb 15, 2 weeks away. Most may have seen this on moped Nz Facebook page but if not come on doooooown. proposed route HERE from Facebag page Anyone in or around the Bay come for small bike pest, where we will sample the finest of Hawke’s Bay. The ride will begin at the pools carpark by the port entry, meeting from 9:30 and leaving at 10. We will ride down Marine Parade then a few back roads to Havelock North, climb to the top of Te Mata Peak and marvel at some delicious views. Then carry on through Hastings CBD, along Omahu Road and a wee loop through the Puketitiri Hills back into Napier. Then conclude with a few how ya garns at Shed 2 on West Quay. The ride is just under 100kms and with a few stops to regroup and refresh should take 2-3 hours ish. There is the opportunity for bonus gravel road riding or extending the route if enough interest... or if you wanna hang around for the weekend then we can drum up another ride somewhere! I can potentially provide some accommodation for out of towners and a place to park a few trailers/vans/utes etc This will be a good chance to come and meet some other small bike pining weirdos, have a few beers and enjoy the lush roads and scenery that Hawkes Bay has to offer. The ride is aimed for small bikes less than 250cc. But we wont discriminate if you wanna hang out on your big boy bike. Open to suggestions on changes to the route or other roads to ride! I have left the ride relatively short for those on smaller bikes and kept off highways as much as possible. There will be a fair bit of open road riding so make sure you own the road, but being respectful to other drivers etc. but you already knew that. Got any questions just holla at me!

    whats the best way to test the module? pull it out and test resistance ? alternatively how could i test fuel pump without dropping tank etc ?
  20. TimShadboltfan27
    lel i am proficient in choke operation m9 google says electric. looks like its an in-tank pump and i just filled it up. womp

    my EF civic does this weird intermittent thing where it dies as soon as you disengage the key/starter. only does it sometimes, and you can keep the revs up and sometimes save it or hold the key on and keep the starter winding and it sorts itself out. this morning i had much trouble getting it to start and when it did it cut out a few times before i managed to save it with a bit of choke and mashing the throttle. I dont think its a usual culprit like a vaccuum leak or carb issue cos the car runs fine once it starts up (eventually). Am i right to suspect it may be the fuel pump? Google has suggested the ignition module as well but im leaning more towards fuel pump being a lemon anything else to check? anyone had similar issue? D15B motor.

    After getting my cushy posterior punished on Te Ureweras, i decided to look further into the suspension department. the rear has like 0 travel in those old shocks, might as well be hard tailed jim. So when a mudbug came up for wrecking on trademe, all i could think of was how cool this would look with those quintessential yellow springs on the rear. Took a punt and wanged them on. they are in average condition but what mudbug isnt? popped the standard suspension mount bushings out and swapped them into the mudbug shocks and was direct bolt on m9 country calendar theme plays
  23. TimShadboltfan27
    Awwww fuck yeah sounds shit hot jim count me in. Pending a way to ferry a bike up there. Might take wheels off and bang it in my civic lel
  24. TimShadboltfan27
    Forks look good! A clutch will be a pittance for these things, shout it new plates and springs and it’ll feel lush. perfect bike for Te Urewera ride tbh... you and bort could ride up the mainland together!

    phwoar could Geophy Sr get any cooler!? thats dreamy! Yea, the front brake is garbage, about as effective as an australian prime minister tbh. Was gonna try inspect the shoes etc this weekend but i guess they are just shit from factory. But these things engine brake so good you just gotta get used to riding them like quad bikes Another fred update: @00quattro00 bought a 95 XR250 out of pure jealousy of this thing. so we went for a nang into the Kawekas and up the Mangatutu road. Bloody good fun! River crossings, tight, winding gravel and the always exciting paranoia of "do i have enough fuel to get home". We did a 170km loop, most of it gravel, and i still had plenty of petrol in there so i expect to get a 200km+ range outta this thing.
