I got to work yesterday to find my foot covered in blue/green water. :gob:
So when I got home 90kms later (leg covered in lots of water, but it had been raining the last 20km's or so) I pulled off the fairing and offening radiator. and uncovered the other bike, the plan take the radiator in and get a wof on the other one. :yes:
Ride in to work, no problems. But could not get in to WOF till tomorrow.
Lunch time comes and I set off out of the parking building ... 50m later stop! push back, bump start down basement ramp, turn round off again... 25m later stop! same again, this time I keep going and get to the radiator shop.
I arrive at the radiator shop, the blokes come out. I manage to confuse them with the old "I've got a prob with my radiator..." whilst sat on an air head. Looking at $675+gst to fix properly or $60 to bodge. told them to bodge it and I'll order a new one... arse! :sick:
Decided having a rear light would be good (bulb had blown) so I swung by motorad (http://www.motorad.co.nz/) to get one. Excellent service (FITTED by friendly partsman)!!! this shop has just gone up in estimation. :rockon:
Go to set off... turns over but no fires. fires a bit then dies. Pushed over to workshop, hard with stoopid tenis elbow, and tested but found no spark. Then found spark, but lost it again...
I guess I am lucky to have broken down meters from the bmw shop (or is it a conspiricy... hmmm). But I guess it's going cost more than a 12pack of beer and a packet of fags to fix this weeks buggerups.
:bye:
