What do you do when you can't ride your cruiser?

[bmz2]

i was just sitting here looking at the beast and just wondering if i was doing the right them with the bike , still working on the mods, rain and wind and no time to ride due to work load, but at night i get a bit of life in me and have to think of something to do on the bike, what the hell do other people do, i think i have a problem:doctor::wacko::sweatdrop

[Jantar]

I don't understand. Why can't you ride it? If you have time to do mods, or to clean and polish, then surely you have time to ride it?

Not always J. - a pissing down day, 40 minute to start work and I've time to clean/tinker with one of my scoots - or when the Sportys rego was on hold - or when I've finished night-shift and it's not a nice night etc.

And of course one at times ends up with a bike like the pic of bmz2 situation. (as per XN85:whistle:)

Buy a $200 scooter and thrash it around the town, then give it to someone as a christmas present when your big baby is back on the road.

Yes, That would explain why you can't ride it. And I can see the cause of the frustration now. :doh:

[johnnyflash]

Ya left one important item off the POLL. BMZ2...
TICK .... STOP PULLING IT APART
Thats my plan of attack, all work has to be done during the winter period.. (apart from cleaning and servicing) ... maybe next winter Ill do some serious stripdown for mods... when its pissing down for weeks on end :laugh:
Now should you turn out for a cruiser ride on a Suzi 50cc .... we will all understand...
We wont make fun .... TRUELY...HONESTLY...:devil2: :brick:
we will just surround you with Boulevards so no one sees you :rolleyes:

And take off very quietly so the scooter's exhaust drowns ours out. :msn-wink:

[NighthawkNZ]

[Toaster]

:clap:i take it on a cruiser ride and get shit for it:bash: toaster will give me the bash:yes:

Yeah I do make the sounds...winding up through the gears. Dont do it with my helmet on anymore...makes a mess. :o

[Biggles2000]

I leave it at home and take the car. Then I find a few sports bikes and follow them.

In the 70's? What about all those drugs I found there the other day?

Out of interest, what pressures you running you tyres at? I am finding half the bloody valves at the garages can't fit on that rear tyre, so am thinking of buying a compressor to do the job at home - otherwise the tyres are way too hot by the time I get to check them.

[Mom]

r , i think this could be way i can't ride it:lol:

Put the wheels back on it mr silly! Then you are away laughing.

[bmz2]

[Mom]

So, on Thursday, bolt them suckers back on your ride, and get out there!

Frustrating as hell to have your bike off the road! We did more weeks than is decent with the Blue Lovely off the road this winter, but now all is sweet and we are out there doing it!

[bmz2]

no more mods , keep saying that ,but this is the end time to ride the beast summer is coming fast:rockon:

Ah that would be the suspicious looking compost heap in your back garden.

[bmz2]

hmm , and you think i am building a workshop, 400 sets of lights and watering system and heating:buggerd:

yeah and what a funny place you built that workshop mate... in your attic.... :Police:

I have friends in low places ya know :bleh:

[bmz2]

i'm going nuts waiting for my wheels, finished painting the rotors, and cleaned all the swing arm, next is to panit the drive hub, m109r chrome lettering cut and ready for the wheels,I WANT MY WHEELS:bash::sweatdrop

[bmz2]

yes and the door to that is 600x600 worked out i can't get the bike through it:mad::whistle:

[johnnyflash]

Ah that would be the suspicious looking compost heap in your back garden.

I wondered who that was snooping around my back yard the other night.. You keep your sticky fingers off my compost bin....Ive found if I just light a fire under the bin on the weekends I can stay high for two days (so are the neighbours:lol:)


hmm , and you think i am building a workshop, 400 sets of lights and watering system and heating:buggerd:

Ah, that explains the massive power drain in the west, no wonder the lights keep flickering...:angry2:


yes and the door to that is 600x600 worked out i can't get the bike through it:mad::whistle:

Now I see why you have to keep taking the wheels off, Clever security system, bike garage in in the attick, so you strip it after each ride and store it up top...:weep:


Oi... I hear on the grapevine.. there may be a ride to wellsford this weekend? true ???

[bmz2]

well the wheels are back:eek::cool:hope to have them back on tomorrow

[bmz2]

the beast is ready to rock and roll,test ride time, hope i got everything in the right way:blink::wacko:, no parts left over , thats a good sign i think:whistle::clap:

[Toaster]

No parts left over? That's breaking the laws of DIY isn't it??!!

[bmz2]

No parts left over? That's breaking the laws of DIY isn't it??!!

[Toaster]

Keen to see the power-coated wheels of yours soon mate. There will be a shorter ride set in a couple weeks time I believe.
