    I will take the Basic. Gerda's XLR needs to much fiddling to bring the ride height up again. I will service the Basic on Wednesday, then it will be ready for next week. The knobs on the rear tyre are a bit worn, so I hope it won't be too wet or the beast will not get very far.

    Hmmm, I've been here before (with the staintune) and got stumped by the size of the file.  I know how to inflate a tyre, change oil, boil water but the simple task of posting a photo is beyond me.  Perhaps our webmaster could put a helpfile on this page somehow????CheersDumb-ass

    I have had a go at explaining it. Please check here.http://forum.bmwor.org.nz/index.php/topic,813.msg4140.html#newLet me know if this is useful or not.Cheers,Alex

    It doesn't have to be fine, but if the ground is wet you'll get stuck in the mud off-road. Could be a bit of fun though. 😀

    I don't know about these, but a number of people I know swear by a sheepskin seat cover.Cheers,Alex

    I would say during the week is more likely. If you want to test your off-road skills you can ride the fire-break along some of the Riverhead forest roads. If you can get trough there alright you've got it made. We could ride around some gravel roads there and have a go in the rough stuff.

    Hmm, I've just posted a test message without a problem. You obviously know how to post, otherwise you would not have been able to start this thread. I am stumped. See if you can reply to my test and if that works, have another go.Are you trying to post an oversize image at the same time?I will be off-line for a while, I need to install a new hard-drive.

    Oh yeas,  we will ride. Just got to service the Basic and I'll be on my way. Two weeks term break coming up, I'll be pretty flexible during the week.  We could do the Raglan gravel ride including rounding the mountain if you are keen, depends how fast you like to go.

    This has been discussed extensively on advrider. I know a guy with a Nissan 4×4 who has the same problem as he comes to a stop. The ABS seems to release. He has a bad sensor. Maybe you can adjust the suspension to soak up the bumps better.

    I agree, no respect around here, looks like the inmates are running th asylum.  😉 Please do be careful with candles around motorcycles, some of these older bikes can drip petrol every now and then. The carb on my R80GS started puking petrol the second day I had it. After I cleaned out the bowl it's been behaving itself (knock on wood).

    Depends what you call off-road. Proper off-road would most likely involve a farm, so you need connections. Organizing a gravel ride is not difficult, there is still plenty of it available. A longish ride would be going to Kawhia on gravel. My bikes are more suitable for gravel than off-road, though the R80 will go most places, just not fast.Although I like a bit of adventure, I generally try to avoid any stupidity. For me the definition for that is to do stuff that I have never done before without proper back up.Cheers,Alex
