Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

We will be out and about tonight, but were meeting some friends at chinatown (its chinese new year). Not sure if were taking the bikes or not yet, depends on the weather I guess.

ITS FIXED!!!!!! YAY!!!!!

I pick the TT up tomorrow (assuming I don't find any problems with it when I get there, this is Peter Stevens after all)

time for a nice sedate ride home....... through the hills

ooops
me think the New South wales members might disagree....
they would reckon ..and I would agree
Bathurst has to be the best....[/quote]

I said racing EVENT.

Not just the race. Bathurst wins by far when your talking about the actual race, but there's a bigger party in ...

Adelaide.... good hills roads east of the city, nice wide industrial roads north of the city, nice coastal roads south of the city, and well.... most of us try to avoid the west :p

Best touring car event in australia, best V-8 raceing event in the world, good houseing, low cost of living, plenty ...

I don't really have much choice for repairs. Peter Stevens is the importer for triumph, so its go to them and get the parts as soon as they arrive, or go to someone else and wait even longer until they can get around to letting their competition have the bits.

and yes neka, I was trying to keep ...

Insurance approved the repairs the other day, but the fairing is on backorder. Approxamatly 3 weeks before it even gets to the shop. Sothere going to fix the rest of it, let me take it away for a couple of weeks, then when the fairing arrives, I drop the bike (not literally, already done that) back ...

opps, I ment RIGHT indicator and RIGHT footpeg (my bad).

Well, just to add to my woes, I didn't get to the repairer in time.. I was literally puling up as the doors were locked and the mechanics left on their bikes (bastards, I even rang to say I was comeing).

Oh, and to top it off, I failed ...

I should be out riding, I was, so why arn't I now.

Because I did something very embarasing and droped the trumpy doing a U-Turn

Rowlands Hill Road at Coramandel Valley as it turns out, has an off camber slope on it, and my legs are not long enough to bounce a bike back up before hitting the ...

I have a Xena alarm disk lock...
The alarm is not only to warn you if someone is messing with your bike but should also stop you from riding off with it on...

Only problem is its not too sensitive so you can actually get going before the alarm goes. Then it serves to let everyone know what you ...

Congrats

Whatch those cages... oh... and the overdraght :p

Great Bike I had a Blue and Black one untill I wrote it off

I found that when in trafic (and thus riding a little more sedatly), when slowing down, you really don't want to let it go under 3G unless you intend on stopping. Mine stalled at around 1-1.5G But (like most 600's) had no guts under ...

I'm not sure if they still run ut, but I did a Cornering and Breaking course at sandown (near Dandenong in Victoria for those who don't know it) in 2002. The "rider enfourced" speed limit was 100km/h, but they can't book you on the track, and by the end of the day they were looking the other way if ...

I steer by weighting my foot-pegs (as do most other riders on this site)

Actually, when riding a dirt bike through sand or mud, thats exactly what I do. Keep the front wheel pointed where I want to go, and use presure on the pegs to either slide the rear wheel in behind it, or straighten up ...

I've usually use Glen 20, Its what the riding school here at least used 9 years ago when I got my licance :p

But then I buy helmets that are genrally under $200, so they get replaced every couple of years, and usually only need cleaning once or twice in that time.

I'm due for a new Lid, boots ...

Jase is having a party?

Dam.. umm, we're free if we're invited.
