Awesome! will be great to see when I reach certain gravities for adding more hops/ cold crashing etc

hey @Lord Gruntfuttock where did I see that pic of your floating doodad? Where did you get that?

so jelly of xt250, dont often turn up in good nick/good price these days

I got a bottle washer, but also got 2 corny kegs/kegerator, I only use a few bottles per brew now, so much less tedious

Hmm yeah at the moment we only use wet spray as an extreme backup and it’s pretty much sent to a mate of the powder coaters, so we dont really have an idea on what it is. I’ll look into the epoxy and urethane types

We get heaps of machinery Powdercoated at work, which has a really tough nice finish, but it is quite time consuming vs something like wet spraying. I saw some machinery those other day that had a really nice surface finish that was like wet spray but it was slightly textured and felt as if it would be a bunch tougher than your typical wet spray. Are there any painting types in between wet spray and powder coating? Google shows a whole bunch of gimmicky things so I can’t gauge what’s a real commercial solution and what’s not. This replaying to painting big 1 ton+ steel frames, to small 500g steel/aluminium parts

nice man! Are you adding any more hops close to bottling time? As a precaution, I put a block of wood under the middle section of the shelf to help stop it falling in, 20+kg on the racking is quite a bit now you just need another fridge as a keg fridge, once you get sick of bottling

we might give you a call if one of us breaks down

see how we go time wise, but can certainly try going all the way around ellesmere

I think general idea was Friday to do lees valley road onto okuku road, Then saturday/sunday head out to Akaroa doing a big loop around the edges to birdlings flat. Sound reasonable? Any tips? I have the least range with about 160km including an extra 5L tank

I might be able to go look on the weekend, otherwise cam is pretty close. Not sure what his license status is though

apart from ground clearance or belt/clutch blowing up, if the drivetrain is reliable It should be possible right?

best I can do is 12" and 68cc

Looks amazing guys, so jelly out of interest did anyone do it on a twist and go?

what kind of clothing required? Can be + 30 or - 10 degrees? So need to allow for everything?

Cool, what cc? Many mods available?

I’m looking at doing it on my 70cc street magic, just need to make sure it’s super reliable

its suitable for a 50cc twistngo?

Shit yes

bit of a side track, but I wonder if there is a sweet way to go in/around the whanganui national park, seems like lots of cool tracks around there. along the whanganui river, bridge to somewhere, I see there is Patea dam, although it looks one way, Is there a map that shows forestry roads or something?

who had the big boy ktm?

man GN's are shit

@rumrum what happened to your gilera thing?

personally havent had much luck with chopping plugs, I think you need a really long straight to get some colour into the plug, but then its a total pain in the ass having to pull everything apart and destroy a plug. I have had a much better time just riding around and getting a feel of different throttle positions on the carb and referring them back to which jet/needle is affecting the power at that level. And a temperature gauge to make sure you aren't wayyyy out. Hard to imagine you need much more than a bit of adjustment on your thing though, as nothing has been grossly modified. I would be looking at maintenence items like seals and rebuilding the carb first

definitely not, when there is good fuel/oil/air ratios, the spark plugs look like normal. 5000km old spark plugs on my scooters are dry as and have a nice colour to them
