Big thanks to Wellington Motorcycles !!

[nudemetalz]

Hiya,

I did a "wee" mistake putting my rear wheel back into the Guzzi after getting a new tyre put on.
Unfortunately this involved the rear caliper plate spinning around, locking the rear wheel up and tearing off the brake hose !!!
Luckily I was doing all of 10km/h.
I managed to get the bike home and dismantled the rear wheel and removed the hose.
Then panic set in: I needed this bike fuctional for my trip to ChCh tomorrow !!!

Went down to Wellington Motorcycles and Pete (Crasherfromwayback) and Mike helped me out by making a new brake hose up for me within an hour !!
They saved my bacon !!

SO, BIGGGGG THANKS TO WMCC !!!!!!!!!!!

All I have to do is reassemble the rear wheel (correctly) tonight, re-bleed and I'm happy. Bring on Roger Waters !!

Oh yes, lesson learned - always check everything after reassembly.

Thanks Bytor.
The thought that I was just about to go onto the Motorway and have that rear-wheel lock-up gives me the shudders :gob:

[jimbo600]

I must say all the years I've been dealing with WMCC they have always been exemplary.

[Dafe]

Quite agree, Pete's a great help and always a pleasure to deal with.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Just as well you sell crap bikes or you'd be dealing with me. You'd wish you were back at school.

[The_Dover]

You'd wish you were back at school.

I wish I was back at fuckin school.

Then I could have become a plumber, they deal with less shit than me....

[Trudes]

On ya Pete and WMC, you guys are great fellas!

[Crasherfromwayback]

Just as well you sell crap bikes or you'd be dealing with me. You'd wish you were back at school.

Mate from what I've seen and heard from you, I'd have to be at school to be dealing with you.

Using a company computer for personal use is a punishable offense. Where's my beer McFly?

Hey Nudez look out for my daughter at Roger Waters, she's a good looking red head.

Oi....'bout time I sold you a new bike innit mate?:innocent:

[kiwifruit]

tis good to hear the good service stories too

[laRIKin]

Just as well you did a test ride.
Just imagine the flap if you were loaded up and on the way to catch the Inter Islander.
Hope you have a less eventful trip and enjoy the concert.

By the way it is pissing down and SDU is drying out her gear from riding home.
And I got wet when I was getting a new front tire for the V11.

[nudemetalz]

S'pose to dry out tomorrow (I HOPE !!)

Yeah done another test-ride, all seems okay.
Bleeding the brake took a while though.

I'll look out for ya daughter, Merv. Betcha there will be some hot women there,..not that I would look, being a happily married man........

[Drum]

Forget to reattach the torque arm?

[nudemetalz]

Forget to reattach the torque arm?

No, thought I had slotted the brake plate into the rectangle pin on the swingarm. Must have gone just under the pin instead, so when I touched the rear brake, it swung the whole plate around the disc, snapped the line and locked the rear wheel up.
That definitely won't happen again !!!

[Crasherfromwayback]

Bleeding the brake took a while though.

.

Yeah master cylinders for rear brakes (and even worse on dirt bikes) are so small now, they pump fuck all fluid. Often easier to pump fluid back through the bleed nipple and out the top!

[Str8 Jacket]

Yeah WMCC have been pretty good to me. Shame about that Pete fulla though, Bastard!...

[Crasherfromwayback]

Prick even!:shutup:

[Sparky Bills]

BUT THEY SELL HARDLEY_ABLESONS!!!:innocent:

[Crasherfromwayback]

[sizzlingbadger]

I just swapped a Hardly Ableson for a Triumph Speed Triple (I'm not as old I thought I might be) at WMC and they have always been really helpful, Pete sorted out this deal out - riding over the hill last night was much more fun on the big T than the Deuce :laugh:
