Picked up a nudge bar for @GuyWithAviators but they looked pants on his Ute (flat front) so tried them on mine and was sold. Stole some spottlights of @Geophy to see what they looked like, and I like how it looks so will keep eyes peeled for some of my own. Also found some commercial friends

Would a panhard rod in the back help with the alignment issue? Might be easier than remounting diff?

Oh and putting my dad hat on, just remember we are in Level 2, so we will be expected to maintain physical distance. Burger fuel will be following strict rules, so we need to respect that. I've confirmed they will be open (phew) but expect a different experience.

Don't forget, this is tomorrow people. Come along for some seriously shit yarns and some tasty burger goods. Burgerfuel rototuna from 7pm. No old car? Who cares, bring a daily, walk, hitchhike etc. @Kimjon @mark105 @Geophy @Dogwatch @64valiant @WankBankA100 @Archetype @Zeubin @Yowzer @bobby1930 @vk327 @flyingbrick @Truenotch @NicT

A++

Assume you are talking about Rototuna?

Yeh man sounds good, keen as.

Entered! F**k foamers

Sing out if you go on any not so extreme adventures! We've got an xtrail complete with rooftent

You've got a disease man, should get that checked out haha

I'm in the wrong island this week sorry

The hubo will be/should be calibrated/correct for a given tyre size so unless you magically end up with the same rolling diameter I suspect you'll be doing something naughty

As geophy Sr would say "it's just not in the spirit though is it"

Yeh quite a few peeps run them, myself included. Pretty quick wearing as they are soft but cheap enough and no complaints.

Yeh I need to scope that end out as well.

Have aquired a cap as recommended by a filthy foamer/Callum so will give that a hoon.

So turns out this thing is allergic to heavy rain. At the end of the first day on last years east cape ride when the heavens opened, it kept dieing and then wouldn't start. (got it going later that night so forgot about it). Then last weekend went on a ride with some dorklanders in the rain and had issues with it cutting out. It was only during the wettest part of the tide, and then later on when it had stopped raining it ran fine. The only things (I can thing of) that are exposed to water/rain/spray are the air filter and the engine head including spark plug and HT lead. I tried riding along with the air filter off in case it was getting soaked but this didn't change anything. Pulling the HT lead off showed a bit of water on the inside of the plug socket, so at this stage I think that's the most likely culprit. its just the OG lifan one, so will try track down a better fitting/sealing one and see if that helps. Anyone thing of anything else I'm missing? The rest of the electronics are tucked up in the body of the bike and no real way to get wet (I think) but will check that. On the basis the bike has been going fine, and was going fine when I started the ride and only started crapping out in the real heavy rain, and then ran fine again after the rain stopped, suggests to be it has to be rain/water related.

@Geophy get in here

Turns out my bike is allergic to rain....guess I've got some to fix before November!

Yeh yeh yeh let's do it. Just pick a night and I'm sure there will be at least a few of us that can turn up.

Yep keen Yes please!

Also keen, get the old gang back together @Truenotch

Possibly not helpful, but I went through cert with reset leaves and blocks and general requirements (not saying this is explicit or holds true with all inspectors, but its what he told me he needed to see) was not on bumps with passengers in car, reasonable car to road clearance when on bumps (from memory he said 50mm), and not flat/cut down bumps (i.e. they needed to have some give). i was about 100 mm drop all up though. In the end I went from 2" to 1" blocks and some less cut down bump stops..

Such versatility such wow
