👿 Ahh you've seen them too Alex.  I tried using them once – we were sailing into the Tory Channel by the time I was tied down  😐

Thanks Alex, please keep me posted.  We too have booked on the Interislander cost $270 return for two plus the bike which is very reasonable.  I didn't realize we had to call a special group number 0800 878 898 but they were very helpful and we got sailings that were not shown as available on the web site when we looked.  Interesting that she said we must take our own tie downs (I do anyway) but never been told that before.

Hi Terry,There are a few products on the market but most are expensive.  Over the years I've used black boot polish on old plastic then Neopol furniture polish which gives a good gloss and doesn't wash off.  The other reasonably inexpensive option is a can of silicon spray but Neopol is the go for me.  Give it a try.malcolm

Hi Alex, when we were at the Nat Rally in Waipuk last January a bunch of the guys rode over to Palmy to visit a bike museum and I'm pretty sure it was this one in Kopane.  However to get it right I just rang Gerrard and he tells me it is there but is a private museum and not one that you can just wander in to.  Perhaps someone who was on the run back in January will pick up your post and  offer some advice.Good luck Malcolm

in reply to: Heat-pumps ? #12334

Sorry guys the reason for my post was the $500 offer from the government for an installation of the heat pump Alex was thinking of.

If you haven't already committed to an installation Alex this might be worth a look:http://www.dvs.co.nz/index.php/pi_pageid/162?gclid=CPXileOXmpsCFQk_agodvGuxBgNot sure of the fine print but could save you a few dollars for gas.Malcolm

Interesting situation – now I can access this site through another post eg Artig tonight re Adobe alternative but if I try from my favourites I get my Eset window telling me the virus has been quarantined but cannot get through.  Any thoughts please?

in reply to: Revs/speed #12341

Howdy G, Thanks for your input.  I do have the owners manual but can't find anything useful regarding engine speed v road speed.  It gives change up and down speeds but doesn't relate these to RPM or say anything about cruising speed/revs.  I'm sure DTY is right and the gear ratios are in the book so could be used to give a pretty good idea.  If I was to ride to Palmy I would be happy to cruise along at the legal limit give or take a few.  My reason for putting the question was not because I was at all worried – just curious and I doubt my riding style will over stress anything.  Hi to CathyTake careMalcolm
