Taupo LAMS Only Track Day

LAMS riders, it's your turn to have a track day all to yourselves, pay per session, so if after one session it turns out to be not really your thing, you haven't had to waste money paying for a whole day.
There will be expierenced riders & racers there to assist with any advice or questions, plus shadow riders, to lead or follow as required to help you get in the groove.
You can also go next door to the club circuit & pay $10 for three laps on a sidecar of your choice, to complete a day you won't forget for a long time.
Maybe some clever person could repost it in a larger format. I haven't got past thumbnails yet. Thanks.

2005 Suzuki GN250

I have a Suzuki GN250 2005 that needs a little bit of work.
It's still ride-able but needs a new rear light (brake lights work fine.)
It's missing a side panel and the oil sump nut weeps slightly.
It's only done 7000kms and other than those issues is very tidy.
I was just wondering on a rough estimate to how much it would be worth?

I appreciate any help. Thank you.

BOB done and dusted

The weather was crap but it didn't stop epic battles, some old guy on the oldest bike won with really old tyres on. Sorry ESE not a 2T in sight only boring old FXR's and CBR's

Engagement With Motorcyclists

If I wanted to engage with motorcyclists, where would I start?

On here? Motorcycle shops? Clubs? Facebook?

The subject would be our safety on the road. Not a sexy subject, and one which isn't sold easily.

Nobody thinks it'll happen to them. The crash. So nobody sees the need to change to prevent it.

Where would someone start?

183km'h through speed camera

Since another KBer has gained some sort of notoriety with 182 kmh through a speed camera and his tally for replies is now in the sixties I'm thinking of going out today and trying for a new high score of 183.
Will I get my 15 minutes of fame on here and it make my life better, or is it not worth it?

Dangers of E Bikes

The Future is E bikes, better for environment, healthy and so on.

Or are they?

Some stats in from Holland are not convincing me to buy one.

[QUOTE]More cycling fatalities than deaths in cars

Disturbing news this morning: more people died on a bike than in a car in the Netherlands in 2017. A total of 206 people died on bicycles and 201 in cars. This is the first time that ever happened. The figure for cycling deaths is also the highest in 11 years. The fatality increase is completely male. The number of killed men went from 125 in 2016 to 148 in 2017. For women the total decreased a little, from 64 in 2016 to 58 in 2017. And yet, when you look at deaths per cycled kilometres, then cycling is becoming safer, not more dangerous.[QUOTE]
