Well I got the opportunity to take the bike up through Wisemans,St Albans and on to Bucketty this arvo, after a short but hot and sweaty day at work today.

Normally after such a day at work with the heat and all I would not bother going so far but I was stinging to see how the bike went on the dirt roads.

After getting home and having a shower to clean up and cool down the thought of putting all the bike gear on was not very appealing to say the least.

Once I got going though, the heat of the day was forgotten and I just enjoyed the ride up along old nth rd.In the long sweeping corners I am now able to pick the line I want and hold it throughout the whole bend whereas before I would find myself correcting my line within the bend.The front wheel would wonder around a bit.

When the road did turn to dirt the bike felt a lot more secure underneath me, which in turn probably did have me travelling quicker than normal,had a few lockups coming into corners that dont usually give me such a surprise.
But the most pleasing aspect about the new suspension for me was the way it handled the corrigations on the tight slower corners.Normally if I was going around say a left hand corner the bike would skip over the bumps and end up a metre to the right of where I had pointed it,not any more

[jim cadyMember]

Sorry to hear of your loss TB.

Standard suspension sure does suck by comparison,cant believe manufactures let them out the door in that condition.I would have thought they would want their product to be the best it could possibly be :blink:
I know there is the cost factor, but the cost/performance ratio is so heavily weighted in favour of better performance after Teknics mod,price doesnt really come into it.
As far as safety goes not so sure :unsure: will be going a lot faster now :woohoo: Have a safe trip.

, Team effort hey Nick,sorry heres me giving Blake all the credit :laugh: He does seem switched on and keen, and an opportunity like he has got can only benefit you both down the track.Once again thanks heaps.

Picked my bike up from Teknics this arvo and once I got home I took her out for a quick ride,just went through Galston Gorge and came back through Pennant Hills to home.For those that dont know, the Gorge, as the name suggests is a road which has plenty of twists and turns and can be quite fun without too much traffic.

I just cant believe the difference in the bike :ohmy: Its gone from being this saggy,spongey,heavy feeling bike into a much better, lighter feeling machine.

Much better control and faster into corners, and even exiting the corner, when accelerating it feels much faster.I am actually quite amazed at the difference.

, So I guess you could say I am extremely pleased with the result :woohoo: On that note I would just like to thank Tekniks,Nick and particularly Blake whom I am pretty sure carried out the work on my bike thanks heaps.

Unfortunately It was too late to get out on some dirt but If today was anything to go by I cant wait til I get the chance 👿

Thanks anyway axel,
My problem is I was born 200 years too late,all this technology has my head spinning :laugh: :laugh:

Fear,ignorance and a large serving of laziness on my part are turning what should be an exciting purchase into a chore :unsure: :angry: :laugh:

[jim cadyMember]

After doing a little research today into which GPS to get purely on a priceline basis,as I could not be #$%^&ed trying to begin to understand which one does what, so on and so forth,my brain hurts :blink: :blink: I came across a couple of prices.

At Dick Smiths they advertise the Rino650 for 599.00,but Jonny Appleseed are saying you can get 2xRino 650s for 649.00 package deal.

My question is, are they crap and jonny appleseed are trying too offload them,or is this a good deal,my logic was if I have two and break or loose one.Jonny also had the Montana 650t for 649.00 which was about the cheapest I could find them for/didnt look too hard.

I just want to get a good one first off and end this technological shopping nightmare :pinch:

Being as both deals from Jonnys are the same price is the Montana twice the unit :unsure:

Thanks for your thoughts James

[jim cadyMember]

Hey Kat,
I know you know everyone who rode that day has thanked you and mick already for a great day and me again via a PM yesterday,but I got to thinking that with the late report and all :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: it was looking a little like your efforts went unappreciated, not the case at all

I had a great ride even if it was a little slippery in parts on the Heidenaus :ohmy:

And yes Murph we did cover some klm,cant speak for the others as I didnt follow their exact trax but around 350 I think for me.I had made a point of trying to stand up on the pegs most of the day and by the time I got home felt like I had been kneecapped in both legs 😆

Oh and Mick I am sure when I rode up that little steep hill there was four foot of air under my back tyre. :laugh: :laugh: You better get your camera fixed.
