  1. how long should a motorcycle front brake take to bleed? been at it for hours, gone through prolly 3 cylinders worth of fluid with no improvement in pressure. clean, air free fluid coming out the bleeder each time. spent a good hour last night, then another 30 odd mins this morning with no improvement. doing the old hows ya father hold lever in, crack bleeder, lever goes all the way to throttle, tighten bleeder and release the brakes. making no difference after hours of bleeding. is there a better technique to it? i feel like there's an air leak somewhere in the brakes, but cant identify anything unusual. your 2 cents please
  2. nice! was very close to buying this myself. what wheels/tyres you going for? and cut springs asap plz

  4. so cool! v8pete v2, take pix outside tea pot museum plz
  5. such a grouse affair, 11/10 would meat again only thing missing was more cars!
  6. i could list the numerous excuses, but after you rode 300 kms over an alpine pass....
  7. Haven't heard from many Dunedin folk. Dane is a maybe as i think he's broken his hairdresser's car. start one yourself/come anyway!
  8. Of course mate. Would be a shame to have to sit in the carpark with our IPA's if they were full!
  9. good stuff! props to you southerners who are making quite the trip for some beverages in the desert!
  10. Keen to visit that bridge! Would make for good photos. There's also another lush suspension bridge in alex over the same river. Pedestrian stz
  11. we can just have our own drags the weekend before on a backroad in omakau.
  12. they are usually on the side stand those killswitches ^^^ but probably not a bad place to start
  13. stupid idea but could just be the head angle/4 stroke problems? has to be ran upright?
  14. sweet pics! the gentle annie is a lush drive. it only gets a million times better from that bridge! would have easily helped yourself to some roadside snow along the way. would love to do it in a car like yours, a golf or fxgt etc, hi-roofed hiace vans make for quite the body roll on some of those corners
  15. Hey team, thought that a good ol' meet up and cruise to a country pub would surely get the presence of old school going in the heart of the south! After a few recommendations, we will be cruising to Chatto Creek Tavern, halfway between Omakau and Alexandra. good old fashioned country tavern with cold beers on tap and good food in the kitchen. Alex will be a good meet up point for people coming from Southland and across from Dunedin, so we will meet at the old bridge from 12:30 and convoy to Chatto Creek from there at 1:00pm. park up spot on Rivers Street below: Will definitely be a good time, bring an old(ish) car, and a good sharn for a grouse Central Otago afternoon. if some are willing we could cruise further along on the rail trail and back in to alex. Or if any locals care to share some good roads I'm all ears. Open for suggestions in this thread, if the time's an issue or anything like that. if you're keen to tag along express interest below so i can confirm numbers for the lovely lady at the Tavern. Hopefully we can make this a monthly thing! Enjoy!
  16. so i may have locked something in. will make a fred tonight!
