Just changed my first tyre and balanced. Fookin learning curve but all good!

Great Stuff. Just wait till you ride on it. If it doesn't fall off you'll be able to charge for it. There's definately a market here. Hang on 17hrs @ $30.00.

Either that or the tyre spins on the rim when I give it a handfull! I had to take a break when doing the last bit and consult the video again.

Yep took ages to clear up,then went looking at cars doh! And to follow a true Manawatu rider fashion had a cappacino.

Very good to see you are/were in kitchen, will move very slowly away from the screen.

Yep...and then did a bit of maintenance on my gun...

Cor...you getting ready for the next ride when someone takes the wrong turn?

You have got it all wrong Tony, Manawatu riders drink Latte's. LOL

Noo nooo capacinno with chocolatte,and choccy fish yum.

Farking weather.

Q: What do you call the day after two days of rain?

A: Monday.

pissing down in the hole until wednesday (the hole would be hamilhole of course )

not bad here today but shiteburgers for the next few....still, weekend looking half decent at this stage

How did the Pizza, drinks and Telly go?

It was mint!

yep, the best racing was the 125s and 250s to be honest - although the SBK boys later that night put on a good show. Haga, Corser and Bayliss had a good tussle up the front of race 2

You and TA need to get some decent ride reviews going.

Yea, I reckon.
Apparently Ben Spies will be filling one of the seats left vacant by Corser and Haga next year, dunno about the last one though.

the 250s were an awesome watch !!!!!

it was mint. even though I was late and only caught the end of the 250s on. Cheers Yod. Mint watching it on the big screen

is yod the local host of gp eh?

TA is the local host of gp up here

yep. had a nice little setup with a couch each, plenty to drink and eat and a large screen so we didnt miss any of the action. fucking mint is what I would say.

Whats with your signature??? LOL

it is different for everybody ...

here's what I see:

TA is a bit of a noob himself, so takes out his anger on people with bigger e-penis's

was it corser and xaus who are on the beemers next year? that gonna be interesting

I'm interested in who else will be riding for the works Yamaha team, a completely new bike next year and it will be interesting to see is if Spies and who ever else is riding for Yamaha have some development skills, between Xaus and Corser BMW will have the skills there to develop the bike well I should say, I think you might see Yamaha disappear as a competitive bike for a while at least.

yep i'd expect honda and duc to be fighting it out next season

I think Suzuki will be more competitive than this season too.

my theories on auto racing....if it aint got a Dodge then it aint worth a look!

Yay!! I won an award Arse off award - courtesy of Central Districts Motorcycle Touring Club 2nd ride, 2nd meeting.

Dig those training wheels.

A couple of Boss Hoss's running Dodge V8's would be entertaining also Especially in the wet if they were allowed trainer wheels



Awesome stuff Kiwikat!
Now you have to go on all the other rides

Nice wheels you got ther Kiwikat, CD,s still giving out them awards i see

Awesome. I hear it is a highly coverted award at CDMC.

I want one like it. Hey meanie, can I borrow your bike for a while?

I remember a pilot being given an award for showing off and digging a prop into the grass. He packed a sad and was never seen again! Of course the trophy was a little plastic plane glued nose first onto a piece of felt.

Good thing you can laugh about it Kiwikat!

I was depressed last night so I called Lifeline

Got a freakin' call center in Pakistan .
I told them I was suicidal.
They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck

Well, can you?

At least you were not put on hold.

My favorite scene from a movie lately was the one on Transformers where the Spec ops team is being shelled by the scorpian machine and they call in for support using a cell phone. An indian guy at a call centre takes the call and is picking his nose and generally being a jerk giving them the run round as they are taking fire!

Oh and Corona beers all the way.

The Supersport class is still worth watching ya know! No ones mentioned that?? They bin more, are closer matched and just plain entertaining in their recklessness!!


TA, I take it your signature is referring to another Danica? hmmmmm?

That Transformer moivie rocks
oh and yea TA is referring to you as the Noob

One word.... WTF??? What did I do? I'm the ONLY nice one around here.

thats your story - you stick to it.
]

when we gonna see you out on a friday night ride? I need someone to teach me how to go round corners

wtf is actually three words, innit, really....

and although you're the only nice one around here, don't feel special, according to TA's sig, we're all teh n00b



any nasty fallout yet?

huh?

In the interests of a recent total lack of Manawatu crap, obviously as a result of the huge overflowing bucketfuls of the past month. It would be nice to start filling a new bucket.

If Honda CBR's weren't painted green they probably wouldn't crap out and Jaded Blade wouldn't need to resort to hanging out in $2.00 shops with little red devils instead of riding. I hope the bike is sorted soon. If not why not take a yellow triumph out for a Friday night test ride.

How can a certain biker from the south suddenly turn up in Feilding drooling over trains. Where's the bike pics dude. and i hope that garage is big enough for the Hogs I've invited to your party LOL.

That little red devil is the fastest rider I know. Atleast she is on dirt anyways.

May have a solution in sight. A guy racing NSRs has 2 spare NSR motors and he doesn't run the generators when he races so he may sell them to me for about $80.00!

Doing a ride to tauranga weekend after next if anyones bored or travelling past. Up on Saturday morning, back Sunday arvo. I'm going alone, Mellissa is off the a concert in Auckland that weekend.

Ms Smartass aka Danica and her long suffering partner Darren aka Mr Incredible (he'd need to be for being able to survive living with her!) have left the building and are currently winging their way to Portigal for the SBK finals and their bike riding OE round the Med for the next few weeks - Lucky Punks! Lets hope we get a decent trip report out of them soon.

Solved the issues with the ZXR handling... the spring pre tensioners on the forks were back all the way out so it had NO suspension in the front. Explains why I couldn't get comfortable riding it fast into turns and why Lis wasn't njoying herself. Cowboyz, apparently you want to see some Stoppies or something. Discovered last night the Ninja was bloody awesome at doing them on so I'll show you on Friday if I'm allowed to bring it.

Will be bringing it tonight if the cafe ride is still on. Anyone else coming?

may have a buyer for the Ninja. A new Shift Supervisor from work wants a 400. Woohoo, nearly time to start modding her new CBR

No ride for me tonight. Work and family and all. Holding out for Friday.

All the raplacement Katana panels arrived today. I will take it in next week for fitting and 5000km service. Should that involve a tune?

Quite possibly includes a Tune. Personally i would want to give it a tune-up, just incase something has moved/changed since they put the bike together.

Yeah, I know I moved a few things.

Yeah, I know I moved a few things.

CULT WATCH

I got lazy and modified my post.

Monamie was asking about a cult so I thought maybe we could build a new Walled City within Manawatu with a big garage for all the bikes and meetings.

This would protect bikers from the evils of the world.

Bikers and their mums could sell their houses and invest in the new city.

We would give them nice sheds to live in that we could keep.

We could call it a religious group, so it's not a gang or a cult.

Cultwatch group worried about Destiny

30/10/2008 10:20:03

The director of the group Cultwatch is comparing Destiny Church to the Waco cult in Texas.

The church has plans to move its operation from the Auckland suburb of Mt Wellington to Manukau in South Auckland so it can increase capacity. It is rejecting reports it plans to set up a housing community but says the eight hectares it has set aside in central Manukau will be used as a spiritual centre.

At a service to mark Destiny's 10th birthday, the church's leader Bishop Brian Tamaki urged his followers to help to shift to his complex "in the name of God."

Mark Vrankovich from Cultwatch says the development is disturbing. He says Tamaki's prediction, five years ago, that Destiny would be ruling New Zealand never happened, so he needs a new venture to keep him happy.

The Waco cult ended in 1993 with the deaths of 67 members when a fire destroyed the compound.

Sorry but it aint religion if you have to tithe 10-20% of your nett wages to the cause.It is a money making exercise,and the head honcho at the top wins.Imagine the naive clowns who sell their freehold homes in Dorkland/Tauranga etc,invest their dosh with the idiot,he of course will put the land in his trust,not so much his name,but bet you he has ways of borrowing against the property,imagine how much he could borrow if 10 or so donate $350000 each.

Am friendly with Mark Allens'(former all black) dad,he reckoned Tamati only uses "Bull" for his name,especially the anti smacking law reform,and gives him credibility as well,mind you Mark had lost shitloads of $$$ in a couple of failed ventures due to peoples greed,pity he can't see the same thing happening again.

Why does the latest ANZA ad hailing the gay new Harley models have the sound of a Quad revving up in the Background??? If that noise was supposed to be a Harley then they are gayer than I thought!
