Looks like you all had a great time. We’ll make an effort to be on the next one.

Cheer,

I like the TKC 80 a lot on my bike. They work well as road tyres without wearing too quickly. KA has not yet made up his mind about the HP2, so there is nothing to drool over :-).

Ash, your battery should not discharge itself after such a short time. You should take it in to the dealer to have this looked at. A friend of mine had the same problem and has had it fixed.

Great find, these guys are very skilled and nuts, mainly nuts :-).

Hi John,
welcome to the forum. I see that you will need to sign up for the Kaipara 200 Adventure Ride. Hope to see you on a ride.

Cheers,
Alex

I guess we've all had to learn this one the hard way. It has happened to me several times on other forums. Now I make a habit of copying the post, or even writing it in word and then pasting it in.

Thanks, I’ll be seeing you then in 35ookm 😀

It’s been out of warranty since may last year. So far all it has needed was a final drive seal. I used to service my old CX500. The GS can’t be all that different under the valve cover.

Looks like this is what I need as well. I’ve got one, but I don’t have much confidence in it. I will be servicing the GS myself from know on. It’s enough if the litte GS get pampered in the shop.

Looks great Garry. I’ve put mine onto the Paralever. I may need to get one for the other side. I’l take a photo tomorrow.

Sorry didn’t mean to offend. Jim was putting in a plug for a sponsor. I agree that we should support them, as long as they offer equal service and price to other companies. I am sure that the company you have mentioned is good, but they don’t support the club like Nippy Norman does.

in reply to: A plug for Nippy Normans #6051

Do they also sponser our website?

I’ll see what I can do Jim. The photos are responsible for the stretching.

Looks like they’ve used Supermoto tyres. The turns look like they are quite banked. Not sure if that was the case on the Sky race.

Thanks for the ride report Jim. I’ll add a few pictures that Kevin had sent us.
The weather held out and we didn't really get wet.








Klondyke road is well worth the ride. I will do it again on a fine day to get the most of the views.
