  1. Awesome stuff mate. Any day on 2 wheels is a good day. Doesn't matter what you ride as long as you ride, thats what I always say. GN250's are killer! The GT250 is a decent bike to blat around on too. Ridden a through few work.
  2. Aaaaand here we have it. The most dedicated man in NZ scootering.
  3. This weekend. Come pest in ya vest with the rest of the best!
  4. Time to do this again! Saturday 26 January 2019. Meet 9AM; leave 10AM sharp! Start point is 183 Ponsonby road. Across the road from last years start point. Why? We’re running the route in a reverse direction this year! We love this route but this will be a welcome change. It's a 40-50 KM ride around Auckland central that takes us down by the water, including Queen Street, Mission Bay and more. 250cc limit. Old, weird, unique and awesome bikes welcome. (All scoots welcome of course) **New sports/cruiser/tourer type bikes will be turned away. Not sure? Just ask! This ride aims to cater for those whom usually have no one to ride with. For those whose bikes don’t fit into mainstream categories. See you there!
  5. Secret for people wanting super trapps. But not wanting to pay the giant price; VW ‘spark arrestors’ are the same thing.
  6. Epic! Nice work dude. Gonna do some kinda cut down front guard? I know heaps don't run them but I reckon they make the bike. Keen to see this thing in person!
  7. Such a sick ride. Over half of the riders were from out of town. Solid effort. Thanks team!
  8. This is coming up soon! Forecast looks like anything could happen; we've had 2 years of rain forecast and it hasn't done so yet. We'll be there regardless! Rain is only water after all...
  9. If you’re gonna draw unwanted attention don’t bother. If it will blend in then at your own risk.
  10. My 125 vibrates like fuck and I love it. I do skids and/or ride WOT till oil empties out the breather but I keep it topped up and then change it out every 1000kms or couple of months - whichever comes first. Shipping oil is shit. Don’t use it; regardless if it didn’t harm anyone else’s bike. People will probably still debate this though because it was ‘fine’ for them. Anyone ever been to a Lifan factory? I have. The quality control isn’t great; but the products generally are epic and last well as long as they’re ‘looked after’. Generally this means every single person has a different experience with every engine made. Ed March has done over 100,000 miles on Lifans; but he maintains them religiously and strips them down before use and triple checks tolerances and torque on bolts etc. Don’t really need to go that nuts unless you’re riding around the world. TLDR; everyone will experience different things in different ways. Anyway; sick bike. Loving the tail light and the full rear fender. Can’t wait to see this thing hooning!
  11. One place I don’t recommend is the start venue (Classic Flyers) or the local Bunnings. We’re pretty keen to not piss them off. Aerodrome road is a big U shape with the start location at one end of the loop next to Bunnings and the airport at the end of the U. There is tonnes of parking on the side of the road at the other exit of Aerodrome road. If you follow around past the start venue, go past the airport; there should be plenty of parking there. Alternatively there is side road off the other end of Aerodrome road. Unload and park where shown in the photo below. Meet us at the start point!
  12. Good move not getting that engine. It's been on trademe so long I was considering it for my Chaly over a year ago. I decided against it, bought a Lifan and couldn't be happier. The engine looks like an ATC engine more than a CT too.
  13. Aaaannnnd this past weekend was a year since Eastcape OG. Judging by the weather I think we picked a good weekend to do it this year.
  14. Do it! Such a wicked little ride. Good area for top speed runs too.
  15. Yup Lee the Canadian sounding RD/AG50 rider isn’t on OS. But he’s keen bean. Just flicked him a message.
  16. +1. Been waiting for OS to come back to claim it for Anaru.
