    Oh and park that horrid bike of yours somewhere other than the garge, I need to put the Panther in there.

    Yes scummy, my english is a little better than his,

    Hmmmm - yes well - a big thank you to FJ Rider who lent assistance especially in laying the big orange on its side to siphon the last of its tank and then waiting to see if it would go (which it did after a few false starts and clouds of foreign smoke....) OK Ok - what did I do???? I did what I have heard others have done and always thought to myself "how do they do a dumb thing like that.........." ----- I managed to absentmindedly put about 13litres of diesel into the big Katoom. Walked into the Timaru Shell sevirce station to pay for it and the girl says "does your bike really run on diesel" - my reaction to this was better left unrecorded
    Anyway the attendant was really good - rung a guy working in a nearby paint shop where I got a suitable length of hose (also free) and she supplied a small 5litre can to start draining it into. I ended up with several mouthfuls of diesel - not pleasant and various remarks about "diesel breath" were made for a while afterwards.
    FJ Rider showed a much better technique in siphoning (mis-spent youth??) once we had it laid down on each side (twin tanks) and once we'd got all that we could out it took 17.5 litres to fill - hmmm - it holds 19
    It did start but once the diesel rich stuff at the bottom got in it didn't run well at all and would stall each time I tried to rev it. We perserved quietly, let it idle for a while, revved it occasionally and it seemed to start getting better as it got a less diesel rich mix. Eventually it was running well enough to head off - would still blow a diesel cloud if I revved it and FJ Rider reckoned he could smell it for a while but by the time we got to Oamaru it was running pretty well as normal but I filled the tank again to provide some more dilution and it was as good as gold from there on.

    I still think back to how I managed to do this - I do own a diesel SUV and am used to using a diesel pump but they are usually different enough to be obvious even if your head is somewhere else. These bowsers hooked up from the sides rather than the front and they just weren't as obvious in their markings as they usually have been. Anyway, I'm going to be bloody careful not to do it again!!

    As well as FJ Riders assistance we also had an offer from a guy from Dunedin who called in with bike on the back of his Commodore ute - he was quite keen to load the ktm onto the ute and us to drive down while he rode his bike. So thumbs up to that fella too - its a friendly world this biker community.

    Ride home

    We enjoyed our weekend in spite of the weather and getting the worst dump of a bloody cabin on the whole site - actually if I took the Princess to stay in a place like that again.......?????? Anyway next year it is down this way so we'll have no excuse for not organising something better.

    We certainly got torrential rain through Arthurs on the way home - but the winds after Porters Pass were far worse to deal with. I think that is the most "side of the tyre" wear I have ever got riding through Canterbury. The thing that amazed me was getting hit by gusts from both sides in short succession.

    We ducked down to have lunch with cuzzies near Hororata and then retreated to SH1 thinking it might not be as severe as the inland route. Turned back up to Geraldine for a break and then the final fuel stop in Timaru turned into a bit of a drama. Had dinner with FJ Rider in Oamaru to let the sun go down and then put on the wet suits again as much for warmth as anything - the roads from Palmerston to Dunedin were very wet but the sky had cleared and it was bloody cold. Got back to Dunedin about 11pm and glad to be back.
    It was certainly a day of challenging riding

    Enjoyed the catching up and meeting people - I'll post a couple of photos next time once I've shrunk a few of them

    So it seems the Westcoast ride to Haast & onwards wasn't so bad after all. Yes, it was wet, but still warm and a change of socks & gloves at Franz Joseph
    kept me comfortable the whole way.
    BUT theres a rail / road bridge somewhere just South of Kumara that I entered slightly toooooooooooooo Faaaaaaaaaast and crossed up, bloody near dropped the Jackpot on the rails, ended upon the right hand side only to jump the rails at the opposite end. Scary stuff!

    Just had Cheshire Cat (Marc & Joelle & the mutt "Tahu") stay over for a night in Dunners. Heading to Golden Bay the long way. Great company, cheers Guys.

I decided to let the dogs in on the going ons and that Roger had been eating their K9 bickies, and that if they ever want to se a beef bone ever againg they need to find were the pink flee bag hides out in the day time... so they went on the hunt and just before dusk they cornered something high up in the silver bertch.
    Now... this is when I remember my musket training from last sunday at Kopara, so I dashed for the garage and made up a sling shot from the Buell drive belt and Guzzi valves. training paid of, one shot and the farking thing fell from the tree, the dogs attacked under order and detained Rog till I got there. Over night the pimk thing was held at Doberman cells under close guard.
    Now cuffed and straped back in the truck this little shit was ready to head back over the hill he came.

    I haven't checked for sure but I believe in our H-Ds there is too small a hole on the plate inside the filler tube for a diesel nozzle to be put into - sounds like it would be a good thing on other brands of bike....
