Had to head out for a hoot. Trying out the Metzler K1f K2r and all the exhaust ,fuel and PC mods. The odd new angle too...lol.

I thougt I'd just pop up to NSW and defile some of their roads, and head home...lol. This is the same vid as in my Berrima trip thread. First look at Kangaroo Valley.

Just had my new cage delivered. Fitted it up in half an hour with my Frame Sliders back on top.
First impressions....Heavier than I expected. They are pretty tough.
Next. While being nicely finished, they could do with some stainless bolts and spacers...lol...ah well.
Easy fit, and they...
I'm going to be in Berrima for work from the 20th-ish of this month until July 11th-ish. I'll be working 10 hours a day, and 7 days a week, but I would like to hit the twisties at some point. Probably before, during, and after...lol. I'll have some squared off touring tyres on but will still...
Was looking at the tyre wear on the front of my bike the other night, and was thinking that it wasn't pitting on the edges anywhere near as much as usual.
I then had the thought that they'd been on there longer than the almost destroyed rear I've got, and didn't look worn at all, and got to...
Went for a hoot with a CBR600RR, and a Z1000, and tried out some new angles, including putting my camera on the ZThou (unfortunately I don't stay in picture for long:confused0024:)

Took a ride with a ZThou on the wrong side for all our Downunder Northern Hemispherian friends (everyone knows South is Up):poke:

G'day all. There's a group of folks from SA, WA, and QLD on the FZ6 Forum, heading down to P.I. for Supers, then off to do a Tassie trip, on assorted bikes (2 x XJR's, 2 x FZ6's and one little 250cc cruiser).
I'll be cruising across to Halls Gap with the SA/WA crew, but I'll be staying there...
There's been some discussion of the correct technique for spreading vegemite in a thread in the FZ6 Forum OZ section. I decided the easiest way for people to learn to use Vegemite without "overspreading", and consequently turning themselves off it for life, was to make a video......well, without...
Got rid of my Michelin Power Pures last week, finally, and was glad to get them off the bike. I wasn't at all impressed with them.
Just to wash that awful taste out, I got my favourite tire put on. The BT003:woot:.
Scrubbed in nice and easy. They warm up reasonably quickly considering it...
I've been trying to set up my new rear shock for a while now. The weather hasn't given me much opportunity, and I got new tires, and the roads cooled off a lot all at the same time as I got the shock.
What I didn't realise was that some lowlife, had decided to mess with my fork settings...
This after I got my new shock close to being set up. :D
Some of the roads here are pretty awful at the moment. There is an almost invisible layer of sludge over the road and moss in the shadows...lol. All in all it keeps you on your toes. The more open bits are clean an smooth though. I used...
My new shock has arrived, I've installed it and got it pretty close to setup (maybe a click or two to go).
Not too shabby, I must say. The rear has a much more planted feel on the gas now, and I didn't touch a peg for the whole day today.
There does seem to be a the little matter of the...
G'day all. I hopped into my local Bike Suspenders shop today (Race Bike Services) to ask about getting my series two shock, sorted out and made serviceable. The guy I needed to talk to wasn't there unfortunately. He was out at the track sorting out someone's suspension for them, but the guy I...
Just thought I'd slap this in here. Lets you know the best possible time you can get. Just need your HP and the bike's weight (Don't forget to add your weight wearing gear).

A mate I ride with has a pretty trick Zthou, with all the trimmings. PC3, full Akra system, braided lines and Ohlins all round.
I thought my videos might be more interesting with another bike in them...lol.
