its such a lovely sunny day here ih sussex that im gonna fire up my ST2 and go out all day for a ride! wish it was on my paso but the ST will just have to do! i hope some of you guys get out for a good long ride today as well.

Here in Finland foggy day with temperature about +3C and after few hours it can start to rain, so: No ST2 drive here today and seems, that driving season is near over now. Temperatures are already very low and also first snow came few days ago. It smelted away, but not so comfortable motorbiking anymore...

looks like today we will get a small reprieve from the impending cold weather here in the north eastern USA. Most of the leaves are still on the trees and not the roadways and no sign of rain at least here in Pennsylvania, looks like the guys up north have been doing too many rain dances Weatherman says we will be near 70F(21C)
If I can get one of them back together,it looks like a ride could happen

yep annti its nearly winter, i hope the spring comes early. and higgy, it sounded like a lovely riding day in your area. hope you got out? i did a couple of hundred miles and got to two bikers pubs.

nnnnnnorman, please, DONT send those low pressures from UK area to here with Gulf feed... If talking seriously, if "You" dont send THEM, then we have here VERY COLD feed from north Russia... I pray: Nothing such from Russia! Frankie, send to north little that dry and warm from south! FRANKIE, WAKE UP!!!!! and start to blow little

Antti,
here there was a bad rainy day, so I would'nt blow anything to you.
Moreover, I'm without bike.
My black 907 is at the craftsman for a complete paintwork

I hope the next weekend the weather will be good .

Ciao

In Nelson the sun was up by 7 am , no clouds, perfect day for a ride , but my Mrs ( bless her ) had offered me up as a coach to 2 older gents ( a more ignorant , stubborn pair Ive yet to meet ) who have just gone halves on a small boat and dont have the slightest f------- clue how to get it in the water and catch a fish.
I have not laughed so much...............

higgy, it sounded like a lovely riding day in your area. hope you got out?

Beautiful day,never made it out of the driveway Spent most of the day cleaning up the wiring on the 907 so that I could finally wire up the relays for the dual H4. What a mess Almost done,just have to mount the cut switch for the low beams,catch some dinner and then out for a late day ride into the sunset to see how the new candles work

We have a long weekend (Monday is a public holiday) which normally means rain, but so far all good. So, managed to get in 200km over the Rimutuka hill and into the Wairarapa, where it was full sun and some warmth in the air. Summer is threatening!!

Cheers,

Fraser.

higgy....did the bulb conversion work? was it worth all the effort?
annti.....i dont know how you guys make it through the winter up there, i hope spring comes soon.
fraser.....now that sounds like a proper ride in improving conditions,lovely!
mctool.....as long as no one fell in the water you have to class your coaching as a sucsess!

higgy....did the bulb conversion work? was it worth all the effort?

On the 906 I did my own relay setup for the dual H4
On the 907 I purchased a kit with a low beam switch from Easternbeaver. The relay install was pretty simply,it was other wiring issues that got a little more involved.
Put a pair of Silverlight bulbs in, very bright but mainly a wider lighting pattern. We have a lot of deer around this time of year and lighting the entire roadway helps to avoid meeting up close them unexpectedly

yes can be messy coliding with animals. a badger had a friend off his Z400 once. the badger will turn to face the oncoming vehicle rather than run away. deer just panick and could do almost anything but often try to jump the vehicle resulting in a nasty mess. i once had an emu trying to keep pace with me at about fifty kph but opened the norton up and the noise scared it off back into the bush. worse though were the dogs in south africa. they sleep in the sun waiting for motorbikes to wake them up and then proceed to attack tyres and flayling legs. dangerous critters.
on my 906 i took gerhards advice and fitted the fz headslamp with some improvement.
