Disagree.

A lot of tours from what I hear you can sleep in a different bed every night, however you can still have fun in other ways and do heaps of stuff in a short amount of time.

I went to NZ for 13 days, both islands and did a shit ton of stuff. $350 flights return (in 2010 after first earthquakes) $1500 for 13 nights quad-share. Every 2nd place we stayed at didn't have quad-share so got upgraded to twin-queen share. didnt have to book a thing other than contiki and flights. so nice not having to organise transport and accommodation.

we were lucky and had a good tight-knit group (went by myself) and only one person got laid, and it was to a local lol. 40% were Aus which is apparently very rare for NZ trips.

However, the contiki Europe trips are a different story. accommodation is cheap to mediocre hostels with little flexibility as far as time restraints and activities goes.

If I was to go on a another tour, it would be with Intrepid for more interesting locations.

I've been to NZ as well, at Queenstown ran into a group of those people from Europe and kind of just chilled with them lol

Good little trip, cheap flights.

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

There much better ideas moreso if 27+

A shoei is a Shoei, so from a safety point of view there is no argument to be made. It's the same helmet, only Australia charges a ridiculous premium for a test inferior to the tests passed overseas, and a sticker. A sticker which can be purchased for $30.

ahh...true

It was a button clutch, if u ride them they wear out very quickly..

but a couple of weeks...really ?

shit sorry.. didn't mention it's been re-shelled

well thats something ......look good ?

have sent my first payment to amayama. New rubber hoses :D

At first I was suss about the page, but looks like they deliver the goods from everyone on here

Lead time?

You buy from UAE or Japan?

I've only ordered from UAE once, took about 3 weeks but I think Tonys Coilpacks came really quickly.

Japan is usually a week or 2, When they have stuff locally it's usually only 2-3 days.

You can just borrow them for DECA till you get your new ones sorted

There off a well looked after motor at around 100,000kms

Changing coil packs is easy takes 5mins. (That's if you have your neo cover and valley cover off) Which I did so it could slightly reduce engine temps

Will let you know if I do need them.

Still got neo cover and valley cover on, definitely leave them off now.

Yeah I ordered from UAE, said 20 days. Took 1 week lol

i sent in an enquiry regarding the stuff i'm ordering, yet to hear back from them, want to pay them asap. something about 3 working days.

Send an email to Luis, he has always been helpful

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
