Can anyone in WGTN lend me a 150 on Sunday morning?

[Str8 Jacket]

Im booked in to sit my Full Licence test on Sunday BUT my bike has decided to throw a fit and my speedo has stopped working. Im trying my best to get it sorted by Sunday but im not to sure I will be able to! If anyone has a 150 that I could borrow on Sunday morning should I not be able to fix my bike to sit my test I would be more than grateful!

Or a Ginny 250 - you rode one of those before?

Hmm, didnt think about thata= but im sure the guys at the workshop would have noticed that?!

Yep, I've told her is she can't fix hers by then she can borrow mine. It probably handles pretty much the same

You are a legend. Im feeling a little more confident that I may be able to get the speedo working again. Silly little bike!

Yeah. Pity its telling you absolute crap, i.e. 60km/h when you're only doing about 52km/h, but yeah, it's cool. It's gonna be sad having a normal dial on the next bike.

Ah thats cool when mine reads 50 its actually doing around the 60 mark... I followed Stew home on Weds night as my lights werent working. He was sitting on 50k's on his bike and my speedo was reading 39k's. Though my bike is a silly little bike....

[Str8 Jacket]

But then again my speedo aint working at all at the moment!

[Wasp]

i dont think i even need to bring the vtz's speedo into this... do i?

[phoenixgtr]

You wouldn't think it would be that hard for bike manufacturers to make a speedo that actually works

[Wasp]

bieks are more delicate than cars and car ones dont work either, the mechanical way its done is "flawed" - only solution is probably gps or lasers i.e. measuring how fast the car is moving rather than how fast the wheels are turning.

Well I passed my Full. The weather was a bit hit and miss at the beginning of the day but by the time I got to my test it had settled, thank God!

Big huge thanks to Tristan (phoenixgtr) for lending me his FXR, I really enjoyed the ride on it to be honest! Cant wait to get my new bike tomorrow now! :D

Well done on Full. But did you get your speedo working??

[Str8 Jacket]

Nah, the speedo driver has died.... Ive ordered a new one but its gonna cost $180 and it'll take 3-4 weeks to get here. Its new owner picks it up today, I was lucky that he was understanding and still wanted the bike!

[phoenixgtr]

No worries Hels. I'm glad you enjoyed it and you passed. Woohoo!!
