28/01/12 Was the ASB forum Rally in the Adelaide Hills

[Reardo]

I was lucky enough ride the Adelaide hills with Paul from here & others from ASB forum, For the ASB Rally 2012.

Bloody loved it. I can't remember the name of the roads we roads, But they were good.

I got a couple of photo's from ASB.















Hopefully next time will be a Bandit ride up there with out the hang over

Was a lot of fun Reardo and if not a national rally ( maybe one day ) then some of us locals would be more than happy to show you some more of our roads .

Looks like and sounded like bloody good fun. How did the family like the holiday mate?

Bet those chicken strips copped a beating haha

Hopefully will make the next one... Fingers crossed. Let's hope for a gang of bandits to take on the sports bikes

It was a great week & weekend.
Killed 4 birds with one stone. Got the bike Dyno'd, did the ASB Rally, road Adelaide's hills & mixed in with the family holiday. Witch they loved too.

BUT. Come home to a storm damaged house' Fucking pissed me off. A big downer after the best week we've had in long time.
Two damaged ceilings & wet and smelly, mouldy carpet.

Chick strips are almost gone, (5-10mm). Lol. If it wasn't for a hang over, I don't think there would be any.
There was one bloke I stuck behind a couple of times on a newish BMW 1000ss that had PR2s on. Yep same as me. He's in the photo looking at his 3" chicken strips & telling how bad the PR2's are. Lol

A bigger ride for you to the GP, real big!

Havago will be fully operational by then so it should be a good ride

Glad it turned out well apart from the storm damage. We copped 40mm in about 30mins at our place on the 27th Jan. it is the worst storm I have seen in all my 34 years living in the area. Basically a mini cyclone, we lost the outdoor blinds on the house and we had water all under the house. Fortunately the house held up to it.

Hope it's not too expensive to fix Reardo. Maybe tiles to replace the carpets.

I can understand the hang over, I would have been a bit worse for wear had I shown up. I would have shown you why bridgestones are superior as well. Has the dyno tune changed the bike at all?

Super

Why the tight lines in pic 4 & 5?

Looks like a good turn out and some nice roads.

It smoothed it out a bit. the power boost doesn't jump out at you, But it's there. The bottom & mid range RPM are most noticeable, with small throttle opening. Witch is the thing that has always been shit with my Bandit(rolling on & off the throttle). Pulling the secondaries helped. It's like all the 1%'s have been fixed.

It took me a bit to relax on the bike, Anxiety I think (New roads, rides & hang over).

I do have a Gopro video of one road. I only had a small SD card(thinks to a ebay c*%# head, 3-4 weeks from the USA).
So when I edit it (remove BMW 1000 road block) lol. But still not fast by any means. I didn't catch Paul.

Wasn't having a shot mate. The other bikes were tight in those shots too. Nothing wrong with being conservative

All good, I didn't think you were having a shot. (This time )

I only just loosened up before we stop for lunch (where me & Paul talk about doing it again, Some time down the track).
Big mistake. Big feed, not much sleep. We called it for the day. I think it was mostly the Sportbikes sooks tho. lol.
