Drizzle at first but then blue sky. Met Sagi on Ninja 300. Sat on it, it's very light!

Replace rear Tyre

Dunlop RoadSmart 180/55-17
Ebay $180



Tips to replace low-pofile rear tyre:

When installing, avoid beading by stepping on the tyre. Push down to the middle part of the rim.

http://www.clarity.net/adam/tire-changing-doc.html

It'll usually be enough to push the beads at the opposite end into the center well of the wheels just once. But if you're mounting low-profile tires like those found on the back of modern sportbikes, the forces you're applying to the end that you're levering over will probably keep seating the beads on the opposite side. Which is what you want -- eventually -- but for now you need slack, so you don't want the beads seated yet. This just means that you'll need to push the opposite-end's beads (top and bottom) into the middle well of the rim a couple of times. This ranges from "no big deal" to something like your own personal reenactment of Sisyphus' little rock game. If you're getting frustrated here, review the diagram above and make sure you have helpers.

Commute on a nice day

Ride plan: Eildon to Mansfield via Howqua

This road was sealed about 2 years ago. Very interesting back road for a Mansfield/Buller/Whitfield day trip.

Camouflage speed trapping

Herald Sun 11-Feb-13

The mentioned location is Black Spur,
which is a very popular motorcyling road in Victoria.

Reefton with Darren

The new neighbor is a bikie. We rode to Reefton and he let me rode his R6.

I thought the R6 was very light as nimble bike. It is really a dream to ride.

Perfect blue sky, 24deg. Bikes were everywhere. We stopped for a feed at Warburton bakery and then Marysville.

Reefton ride

Rode with Steve to Reefton. Starting late (3pm!) from Sandringham we took the North Road to Emerald > Warburton > Reefton > Marysville with brief detour to Mt. Donna Buang. Steve is a very quick rider.

Perfect blue-sky day with no wind!

We planned to do the Black Spur look but was told that the road was blocked due to a motorcycle accident. Took the trip back through Reefton again and got home by 9pm. Tired but happy.

Winter Ride 2011

First winter ride this year. Reefton and Lake Mountain via Gembrook. Returning via Marysville.
