Colemans have a job opening he's going for.

They also have a Yoshi k4 1000 (with a few GSX parts on it). We're all going for that!

Yeah, they advertised (last week?) for a service department assistant.

I was tempted to apply for the job myself, but I have too much debt at the moment, and couldn't afford to ...

Buggar...

Ok I txted the lad and arranged to meet him out by the big BP gas station top of the Bombay Hills.
Waylander spotted me and waved as he went by.
He stopped on the motorway for me to exit the BP station,
as he didnt pull in there as he was supposed to...lol.

So Waylander led some of the way along the motorway and then I led the lad the rest of the way into Colemans....
I chatted with Sarge and SpankMe while Waylander went off and did his thing. (he can explain that bit) We also checked out a few bikes.

I then took him over to Red Baron to check out the cost of something that he wants for his bike - looked at a few bikes...
It was nice to run into Stifarms and Girlygirl.
Of course it was jolly hard to get Waylander away from all the bikes.
He had to sit on a few... and now wants to test ride one...

Then up to Meet Mike at Mt Eden Bikes - had a chat and again looked at a few bikes.

Then off to see Lou at AMPs. - another wee chat.
There is a strange Harley Davidson in there.. very strange handle bars on it..
I have to admit that I don't like the bike... and its a very expensive bike as well.

I got hold of Pyrocam, and off to find his abode (yeah we got it slightly wrong.
But the lovely lady around the corner knew, who we were looking for.
She said there was a little blue m/bike around the corner and up the long driveway... Pyrocam has a wee admirer. She is so sweet.

Off for hambugers and chips.
(Pyrocam you are right they are lovely and HUGE)

Then got the lad onto the motorway back to Hamilton, and I headed home.

Sorry Allun, we were gonna head out your way, but run out of time.

So now Waylander has been to many Auckland m/bike shops.

3rd August 2005, 19:52
Fuck... Not likely to get the job at Colman's. Allistair said he was busy and with all he has on his plate the position is pretty much filled unless he calls me. So, fuck...

Still had fun riding around town and got to have a sit on the XV1700 Warrior at Red Baron. Keen to test ride it now. Crashe says I don't fit it though. By the time I can afford to buy it I will be though.:ride: Both of us agree that that big fat pipe is ugly as and way to quiet for my taste but I can always change that. Have to see about getting up there on a saturday to ride that bad boy.

Went by Mt Eden shop aswell, no openings there but the Meanstreak looked cool.

Went by AMPS and might be able to get a job cleaning the bikes. Hell I don't mind so long as I can afford the commute on the pay.

Ride home sucked. Lots of dust on the road that kept getting blown up into my eyes. Now they feel like they are on fire.

Anyway nice seeing a dew of you auckland folks I havn't met yet and seeing a few that I have met before. Even saw Spankme again just before I left. Me and Crashe were sitting at a light and then he comes through the cross street. I look over at Crashe and say, "That looked like Spank.." Decided it was since it was a guy in black gear and helmet and silver SV... Must have been him.

One hopes, everything else is looking up. Residency, bike parts stuff like that. Unfortunately all that is driving me deeper into dept with my parents. I hate that.

3rd August 2005, 20:47
WOOT! thanks for the text crashe.

sounds like a busy day way-man. sorry about the job. good too see you guys again.

absolute LOL at the woman who knew my bike and where I live. no more 100k hooonnes down that road for me I guess. I might even just pull the clutch in and let go the accelerator when I pass her. she sounds nice... .... cough

You think he coulda told you that before you rode all the way up from Hamilton for an "Interview". Wanker.
Didnt Lance Lowe used to be the detailer at AMPS?? I seem to remember that he might have been.. so Waylander,... can you pull big wheelie/stoppie combo's?
LL WAS A DETAILER AT AMPS ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO

Waylander
3rd August 2005, 21:02
HAHAHAHAHAHA FUCKING GREAT!!!!! Just got off the phone with my mom. She wanted me to read a letter we got here for her from immigration to her. Turns out they lost everyones medical files but mine since they already had three copies of mine from when they lost it before. AND even though they told us that a police report from the Texas Department of Public safty is what they wanted before we even came here, now they are saying it needs to be from the FBI. Fuck now I've really got a headache.

WINJA
3rd August 2005, 21:21

Hey Waylander, sorry to hear the trip wasn't the big success you hoped for. But stay positive - every failed job interview takes you one step closer to that perfect job offer! :yes:

Not a wasted trip anyway, as it sounds like you did a fair bit of networking, and that is never a waste of time IMO.

If you get that test ride on the XV1700 Warrior, I'll be looking forward to your test report!

You proposed marriage to Mr Waylander? Oh well, whatever rocks your boat . Not very gentlemanly to break it off like that though. I'm sure it's just a lover's tiff , and you'll both kiss and make up soon.

Meh I think I'm over my little spat now. Took a nap.

Really want to take that Warrior for a spin. We had it outside the shop and turned it on. Even with that ridiculasly big pipe on it and how quiet that made the bike you could still hear the power of the big twin just begging to be let loose. Veryinterested to hear a set of free flow shotguns on it.:devil2:

Seating position was a bit different. Had me leaning forward slightly and my feet were a bit more forward when on the pegs than on my Virago but it was still quite comfortable despite that. The suspension was nice and soft just sitting there and felt like it would smooth out the road and aid handling and power delivery very well.

Definatly gonna have to hit the gym before I can buy one though. It's heaps heavier than my bike and actually takes some effort to get off the side stand. According to Crashe I need broader shoulders anyway so the gym it is.:whistle:
I'll be dropping my mom off at the airport early morning on Monday the 8th. Might have to wheel on by and see about it aye.

Should mention that this bike was a custom built chopper. Full 250 rear tire, and long rake and such. The bars are actually quite standard for a chopper. Straight up from the mounts then turns abit out to either side. Like these here (http://www.cheezyschoppers.com/images/PFS/PFSbigchopperbars2.jpg), only rather than that cross bar that was where the speedo was. Nice one too that I though about for my bike but it would have costed me some $300 or so just for that.

What was really wierd about it though was that the pipe looked like something off a two stroke or scooter and was on the left side of the bike rather than the right like most. Very interesting, wonder what it sounds like. $75K is the price if anyone is interested.
