With less than a month to go, what do people still have to do to their bikes?
I need to finish off the front rad (overflow can and wire up my new koso water temp guage)
Fill the bike with oil and coolant
insure it (it runs out on the 8th)
And i'd like to change the clutch plates, new tyres, and mount the hypermotard shrouds. And out of those 3, tyres are the most important.

What does everyone else have to do?

1. Get and fit a new overflow tank.
2. Service the bike
3. Organise for luggage on the new bike...

Oh yeah, need to do this in just over a week as I'm off to Thailand for 12 days. Get back and head straight to NFR

Waiting on screen bolts to fit the Double bubble Albi gave me.
Waiting on care package from Van, should be here this week.

Might be riding over at this rate as I haven't been able to get the ute to the panel beaters yet. Its parked at home and I'm driving the landcruiser because it's eating the front left tire.

I know a bloke near you who can do wiring and paint. And he could probably fit a turbo to your lung to help force the air in there.
Shit, then he could ride one of your bikes down since his pink bike is unregistered.

I'm taking the bike for a quick spin tomorrow for the first time in 3 months. If it all goes well, I'll take it for a longer ride to get new tires, and I'm ready for cooma.
Haven't fitted the hyper shrouds yet, but fuckit, it's rideable. Hopefully.

Is it still a Tricolore Chris or have you ruined it with paint spesh for NFR lol.

It's down to duo colore, still haven't gotten around to painting the tank. Took it for a spin, one loose hose. Went home, in the process of tightening it up, the bike gave me a money shot with hot coolant in the face.
Cleaned myself up, tightens the hose, went out again, and all good. Got home, and decided to run the bike until the fan kicked in.
At 105, a rubber cap that sealed off a now unused outlet split, this time it shot all over the motor and front tyre instead of my face, which was a bit better. Almost there.

Better to spray coolant on the front tyre in the shed than in the twisties!

Gitzy
04-11-2013, 08:55 AM
I'm pretty much ready to rock, just need to fit back wheel and fresh brake fluid in rear, Take for a spin tonight I think.

Looking forward to seeing the DUO-COLORE Chris, you and the NudieBimmer should be the first ones I see for 300clicks.. seen as though I'll be lonely now Fimp you fooker.

It will probably be just Chris. Riding down the freeway drives me fucking mental. So I'll take the back roads and see youse in Cooma (at this stage)

What are these back roads you speak of?

Weaselman
04-11-2013, 11:27 PM
Prob down the coast and into canberra the back way or the old hume hwy

Nudie

I can get from the Gong to Queenbeyan with only 3 or 4 klms on the Hume Droneway through Marulan, the rest is back roads.
We tried some of these roads about 3 NFR's ago but got split up and most headed back to the highway

I posted this in the wrong thread, so thought i's try again..
Hey Nudie, what towns do you head through? As there's only 4 of us at the moment, it's a bit easier to make sure we all stick together without getting lost.
I just got new tyres today, so if i can avoid squaring them off...

wackyrider
06-11-2013, 03:15 PM
Same here, I'm up for back roads rather than highway any day mate. Let's meet at Phaesants Nest and go from there.

Nudie
06-11-2013, 04:46 PM
That's a big 10-4 good buddy!
I'll head out to Pheasants Nest and we'll see what shenanigans we can come up with.

Let's take this to the "Meet up" thread
