What did you do to your VR/VS today?

[Wozza]

. Are you on restricted Wozza or have you chosen the GB because it's cheap to rego and run?

Na full licence for nearly 40 years I havnt ridden for 15+ years so taking it slowly...I like being able to throw it around and ring its neck without it getting to far ahead of me...A lot of my age group(50+) forget that you may never forget how to ride a bike, but they do get faster as you get slower

Your bike looks quite similar to my racing Yam, quite minimal.

Yeah cheapest way to improve performance is to remove weight

Last time I went for a ride is near on five years ago. I left my bike on the mainland at my mothers house when I moved over here. I plan to pick it up but while it is there I want Neville Lush to modify the RD 250 heads I have and fit them to give me some more HP. Hopefully should get an extra 4-5hp once he does his magic on it. Only thing is it will be close to $1k to have it done and I also need new tyres and Avons will set me back over $600 for a pair.

Im lucky as my younger brother works at an M/C shop...Im trying the dunlop TT900's at the mo, nice sticky for buck at 1/2 the price of the avons
anyway we will get flamed as this isnt VR/VS commie talk

 

[losh1971]

Yeah have those on now and when new they are sticky as. Yeah best get back to VR/VS talk.

At $400 for the air cond repair so far. Just found out the condenser is shot. Liquid line thread on the condenser is stripped.

Just been to the air tech re my aircon. It keeps getting worse. Now I find out the front has had a hit at some point and busted fan brackets and bent the support panel. Thinking I wish I never had the job started now.... Hmmmmm suddenly $700 for an aluminium loop bulbar is looking like a worthwhile expense... I have to think about protecting my $500 investment that I will pay for later today....

 

[Wozza]

Ahhh the Ying and Yang of car ownership....money saved on rego ..spent on aircon....financial harmony...
