    When I started this thread I had visions of turning the photos into a book. Unfortunately, most of the ones I took have a very low resolution. However, now that a humble phone has some real pixel power it would be worth revisiting some of those buildings. The other mistake I made was not to record the location. Most of these places will be lost for ever in a few years, so it would be a worthwhile activity to photograph them. It would also be neat to have a little bit of a story to go with each one. This could be a great hobby for a retired motorcyclist. Since I've had a change of scenery, I will have to start reviving this thread. There is a great bunch of buildings on Tuamarina Rd that I want to photograph, but they are just a little bit too far away from the road.

    That's being plugist, isn't there a law against this.

    Thanks Darryl, I haven't even visited Richard yet. Ranui is a bit closer, so I'll make an effort, as soon as I can find a bit of time.

    I don't have a memory, Aslan. Gerda recognized him immediately. :-).

    Gerda's bike had new discs fitted under warranty. I don't know what it is that causes the warping. Do other makes have the same problem?

    Steptoe has a good reputation. I've bought one set of the BMW pads, the last two were EBC at well under half the price.Mine are also warped, below spec and pulsing nicely. I've bought a good second hand set and will fit it once the pads wear a bit more. The warping is only a problem at low speeds and the bike still stops well. I don't think I can leave them on until 200000km.

    On that note, welcome to the forum :-). I am sure you'll hardly get wet on that RT. We need more airheads here.
