RUNAMUCK Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 My wet weather gear is very waterproof. But getting wet feet would gag on a fat cock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Today's ride was pretty choice. I did 165km all up and managed 127k's on my 6L fuel tank. Beers and fish & chips in Kawhia: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slacker.cam Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I've crossed off most of the major mechanical jobs on my bike. New seat thanks to @64valiant and new stickers thanks to @Archetype. Got another 130km under my belt over the last couple of days too. Learning something new each time I get out for a ride - mega windy yesterday and raining on the way to work this morning. Now I have to throw together a luggage system and pack my gear, spares and tools. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post peteretep Posted November 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2018 Ridden my bike a bunch more, gone down a jet size and overheating seems to have dissappeared. Put double nuts on a bunch of stuff, tightened head bolts again. Fitted rear mud gaurd. Test fitted spare fuel tank which seems legit. Backpack will carry rest of the stuff, its a tall pack, so load should be on the seat when riding hopefully 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Pulling the pin on me attending unfortunately. Haven’t had the chance to get any decent kms on the road and turns out a 6ft plus dude on a jog for any more that an hour is horrendously uncomfortable. Really need a bigger bike. Combine with not being in the best position to take time of work etc etc. but hey, there’s always next year! So if anyone needs a bed there is one sorted for both nights, one is even paid for! Have a great adventure team, looking forwards to the stories. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
