    Pretty much this. Loose chains suck, and so does not having to tools to do anything about it.

    What's missing?

    Thought i might update you guys on the events of our Wednesday night ride since me and Peter never made it to the pub. So initially coming out of the Lyttleton Tunnel i lost sight of the front pack and assumed you guys went straight through the 100km/h zone. I shot through the 100km/h zone thinking that i'd catch up but you guys must you have turned off somewhere. At this point in time i was followed by Peter on his Virago who's bike decides that now's as good a time as any to run out of petrol luckily though it started up after a few attempts with whatever was left in his reserve tank and we limped it to the nearest petrol station. We than made our way back to Opawa in an attempt to find you guys. We gave up after about half an hour riding around and getting hungrier so we decided to call it a night.

    On the way home we got pulled over for what has to be the funniest police stop ever. I'll let you guys figure out why that is.

    Ah, Transalper has the missing number plate, he saw it on the side of the road, and pulled over to grab it.. I actually commented that it wouldn't be so fun getting pulled over when your numberplate with rego and wof had fallen off, it's rather unfortunate you ran into a cop on the way home.
    We were headed to the Valley Inn Tavern, right here.

    LOL, was just writing this when my internet went down...
    Anyone lost a licence plate with Reg and WOF stickers attached off a 2009 Yamaha XV250 I picked it up off the middle of the road in Gebbies Pass tonight.
    If you want it back let me know but the only bit fully intact is the Rego holder. Maybe a souvineer for the owner though.

    Now, why did it fall off?... well it is because you can not attach a licence plate to a bike by only two screws at the top and then hang stuff off it like rego & wof holders at the bottom.
    The metal fatigues through vibration from bike and/or road and sooner or later well I think you know the result. I've seen it happen over and over but usually on adventure bikes including my own which is actually how the shop mounted it from new... but it didn't last.

    Other than that a pleasant enough ride tonight and Gareth, I'd be happy doing the Huruni Pizza run sometime on me 'Alp. Corners may be good but I wouldn't want to let a few straights put me off going somewhere... after all the only real corners are gravel and I didn't see any of those tonight either..

    Zipties are your friend with regards to fastening numberplates, it made for an interesting discussion though.
    The ride tonight was great and it's a pity the wait on the food was so long, it looked tasty.

    Nice meeting ya'll

    Hi guys, nice to see everyone for the first time. I'm the guy in the Virago with the broken off plate - yeah learnt my lesson, and I guess it came new like that too!

    Ride was excellent - I had a little trouble keeping up in the bendy bits, Hurrie took it slow with me and we ended up loosing the greater crowd. Great ride never the less, see ya'll next Wed!

    Good ride tonight. Thanks to all who came along.

    Little River next week. Weather and light permitting a quick trip over to Barrie's Bay for those who want to.
    And remember ...... if it hasn't got one of "Uncle Flip's" prosthetic kickers it isn't a real motorbike!!!

    Transalper picked up your plate, give him a yell if you want it back
