I'm still buzzing

Post by matty »

Had the best ride I've had in years today, was out for about 8 hours, my self and a couple of buddies on their 4t's.
You know those rare days on your favourite stretch of twisties, no cars to slow you down, the road's yours. You're pushing yourself to your limit and you're in a rhythm. Awesome.

Cumberland Junction at the top of the Reefton Spur.

Nice!
What running gear have you got on there?
And how did it compare to those large 4T's?
Ex UK, now in Adelaide. LC250/350. DT175. Shed full of sh1t in the vague form of dismantled rusty RD’s and RZ’s.

RGV front end and a '98 R6 swingarm with a GSXR 1100 rear wheel.

The GSX 14 struggled being very top heavy but the Griso and the RZ couldn't be separated.

.......... and you still have a licence???????

well done.

The Reefton Spur road would be one of the best m/c roads in Oz - but heavily patrolled unfortunately.

Bummer hybrid, so what broke?

& matty, if you couldn't gap a hog-style cruiser, a fat greaser Guzzi, on your well up-specced RZ,
then I guess the Guzzi rider is a real hot-shot.. so, did you swap bikes, & try again?

Yep, Guzzi rider is a lot better than me.
No licence burning yet Ozzy.
Just looked it up and yep someone has counted them, the Reefton spur has 185 bends in 19 K's.
Sorry to hear about the breakdown Jeff, you put carbs back on the 500? Yes?

Yep, back to carbs.
Pretty sure I've lost the Zeeltronic CDI or VCDI. Waiting for Borut to get back to me.

Some really weird shit happening. Tacho and Zeeltronic PV controller are seeing about 10k RPM when I kick it.
It looks like spaghetti now :?

At least if I switch over to the newer integral unit, I can lose one of the boxes.
