Ride on again this Saturday morning.
Meet at TTG pub for an 8:30 start.
All riders welcome, no experience neccessary - just bring your motard, a tank of fuel (or if you've got a husky, you may need two :p) and a fun attitude.. ;)

Unless ya have a 610.
I'm out for this one. Too much to do this weekend. And I'm missing half a number plate and prefer to wait till I get the new one before I go on a decent ride.

Coz it's sooooooooooooooooo hard to spend an hour swapping over!
I'm out too due to lateshift and soundwave and I still have the dirt wheels on....

It takes me most of a day to swap mine over, and I'm going for a dirt ride on the 530 on Sunday.
tgp450 is right - I'm just a figment of my imagination.

I am out too going to be the dirty bitch again.
I know i have ridden and can cope on the dirt tyres with some of you guys with them on but cant afford new dirt tyres as am trying to get 17's.
Eventually i will be able to ride with you guys.

Hint taken. Being a newbie I'm gonna try and make an effort. Lofty at 0930 will be the plan but far from definate cos we have a heap on tomorrow. Failing that I'm gonna try and get a ride in with you blokes before I head north back to work. Beware I'm as rusty as F**K after a sports bike break so will tail gun if I come out. You can tell by my sissy stripes on the new rear tyre after browneye finished the last tyre off.

Stevens said to do 1000km and so does the manual , i usually do a couple of tanks of fuel on the easy side then build from there. What do you have your ign. tuner set on browneye ?
Stu & i will be at Loby at 9.30 if anyone wants 2 come 4 a ride

There's a lot of theories on how to "run in" a new motor.
I start mine up in the shed a few times, warm it up, let it cool down. Then ride it like normal, changing the oil after the first ride.
Imagine how many times your piston goes up and down in your bore in just one kilometre - if anything needs to be "run in" it's already done.
