*REMINDER BUMP!*

Right well, as it hasn't happened for a while, it's happening then. When? Read the title again!

...

Read it? Right, now you know!

Oh, WHAT is happening you ask?

Well...

We are having a MOST EXCELLENT SPANNER NIGHT to make much beautification and function of a currently neglected RZ250 called Daisy who is in need of some front fork loving.

There will also be bike washing, chain lubing, and if you bring the gears then impromptu lessons on basic oil and filter servicing!

Many tools shall be on hand, and there may even be one or two people there who ACTUALLY know what they are talking about! (Hint hint you mechanics out there!)

Entry is free, but for a koha of non-alcoholic carbonated ginger beverage and/or some crisps to share then we may just let you touch or even sit on the newest nugget added to the mad cave!

Any questions?

No?

YAY!

Oh yeah... PM myself or the mad ricer gijoe1313 for details :)

Sì, ma soltanto i giorni che hanno nient'altro di venti quattro ore

If there were some comedic device to imply further shouting (beyond large red type - for which there is no excuse) I would employ it here:

Yes but only on days that have nothing other than twenty four hours?

Mate - even your Italian is dubious. Stop taking the drugs bro'.

In the spirit of things, had you employed said comedic device (should it exist) then I would have been suitably impressed, and quite possibly issued forth a chuckle or two.

eeber yabble eeber ... :eek5:

Boku wa wakaranai, Itari muzakashii da yo!
Wo mei gong Itari!
I don't grok much of real life anyhows, all I know is there will be differentiated mechanical implements designed to induce contraptional compliance with a complete cognition of engineering expertise.

This will usually be interrupted or interspersed with the imbibement of liquid refreshments that has been transformed by zymurgetic processes that produce unparallelled results of artificial stupor via adhesion of alcoholic molecules to brain neuron functions.

With this in mind, there will be a superfluous supply of products that have been raised from the earth and various large bodies of water to induce sustenance to the sidereal corporal material vessels in which our souls reside.

Much gerrymandering and abuse of said testerone levels and physical attributes of one's gender will also ensue with gay abandon. Witty repartee will be attempted, but on the whole, miserably miss it's mark, either by artifice, lack of knowledge, sobriety levels and what is usually known by the nonclemature "who gives a fluffy duck".

The egress or evacuation of gathered personnel for the extrapolation of the knowledge required for self-preservation of one's choice of ambulation is the desired apogee of this excercise.

Thank you for your co-operation. Trust no One. Keep your Laser Handy. The computer is your friend.

*Beats chest*

Photo taken pre-shave to show girlfriend what I look like so she can demand I either a) grow mustache b) grow goatee c) grow full length beard or d) continue clean shaven, as before, as lets face it -- who likes kissing a beardy?

D is most likely option. She just likes making informed decisions. I wish I'd had all the information before we started dating.

No man is ever given ALL the informations, silly!:innocent:

Well tonight was wet, wild and windy - no, it wasn't Wellington, but it was a most magnificient gathering of a motley few who did the deed on Dandi.

It started with Donor and I setting the scene (i.e. talking shite, doing shite all and farf'n around). Things didn't really kick off until Bass turned up and then we talked some more shite, did shite all ... until xerxesdaphat turned up. And it went downhill from there.

Much bandying of bawdy jokes, denigration of one's parentage and male appendages (or lack of), my lame one-hand excuses (ooh so sore so solly!) and we chucked bits off Dandi with alarming alacrity! :drool:

Then, hell froze over, the parting of the red seas - Big Dave turned up. He dominated the roost by parking himself on a rickety chinese ladder seat and gave us plenty of anecdotes to keep the crew amused.

Much mirth, mutterings and references to "cold chisels and a big hammer", "get in/out of there you b*tch", "what the feck do we do now?" sort of carry on :sweatdrop

Good honest, manly fun. Played with tools, power tools, got injured, got dirty and threw our toys out of the cot when it didn't go our way! :yes:

Right. Time for piccies. :innocent:

more piccies on this thread ... http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=1123349#post1123349

Ya, it was really fun!

So I caged it - the bungy cords didn't really feel secure holding the tool chest on my back, orright??

What a kick ass night though, met 3 excellent KB blokes, supped an ale or two, scoffed more fush and chups than my arteries would have liked me to and stripped a dirty woman NEKKID!

Rock on next spanner night!

Jiminy Crickets! Those are some keen as shots there Dave - thanks for being the sane one there and getting some record of the night. And yes... have taken advice on board and will be getting some of those "benches" that we can work on and put stuff on rather than squatting like a chinaman.. :innocent:

I just like watching white men squat like that ... :devil2:

What a bunch of weak geezers you lot are. I'm the only one who turned up on a frigging bike FFS! What's more, you all stand around talking until I ask for a screwdriver and start doing some work :D

Although Bass did have to go and get his impact driver because my pussy hands couldn't get the screws out :first:

looks like fun was had by all :yes: , hopefully I can make it to the next one.

What we could do,
Seeing we have pics the bike as in its primordial state.

is every time you have a decent session on it, bolt stuff on - put it back together - take a photo of it. From the same position or aspect every time if you can.

Keep a rough inventory too. Note the hours it takes as well - include it in the thread if you like - log it.

Note here that was 6th of july 'start'.

Record your costs and we'll follow it through - I'll come and take some pics of its track day debut and we'll do a feature on 'You wanna go racing?' Here's how to do it for $X and we'll run it in Kiwi Rider.

You can even write something on the experience GI - what would a by line do for classroom cred? ;-)

Put your progress reports on here or start a new thread.

Plan?

Ah - excellent yer already on it - just spotted the other thread - carry on.

Could you pose any gayer donor ;p
I hope you fixed up the most important bike, the one that fits in a pocket!

Sorry I couldn't make it, I would have love to.. I got donor's texts too late :(

Donor

7th July 2007, 14:59

We had to spread YOUR share of the workload.

I took care of looking like a poof.

Xerxes took care of injuring himself and bleeding.

Justin was the token "I hurt myself, I can't do anything too strenuous!" guy.

Bass ... well, he was just a fount of nifty knowledge, a feature you may one day aspire to have.

Big Dave - he taunted us with his acquired 4 wheel niftiness and blinged out pictograph recorders!

So in all, it made it a LOT harder without you being there... I mean, we had far too much grub left over as well... think of the starving kiddies! How bloody rude of you...

I've been known to do a good impression of a chinaman!:blip:

Failing that, I've done a bad impression of a maori fulla or a fob... and I've said it before ... even been mistaken for a chinaman twice! :doh:

And just to show that I am a good student when given the learn by my mentors... I went and got those bloody benches/shelves/whatchamacallits http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=1123758#post1123758
