A WEEK OF BROKEN THINGS

[Flyingpony]

Since you've got the 'gotta break it ', then I must have the 'overdue service reminder ' stuck in my garage.

Well i had a bad day last week... my only day off from uni and work. So a bike ride in the morning followed by fishing aroun 12 and work at 7pm.
Went all well until i got home from the ride and keys were not in ignition
i stoped off at girlfriends place and used the key so i knew it was somewhere between our places... back tracked bot no luck.
by this time it was 1
went to get the trailer and the boat, but my m8 had unpacked it all for some unknown reason... pack it all up 2 oclock
go pik up anotehr guy from avalon and hed down to eastbourne.
Once we got there i got a call from work... erm apears i start at 2 not 7 (fuck)
make up lame excuse and say will be in by 7 get cover til them
eastburne 2 45 my m8 tells me we got everything but he didnt pack a fule line (fuck)
go bak and get it then back to eastbourne 4 oclock
hook up...motor wont start
check spark... spark plugs dirty but throwing spark...give em a clean and back tehy go.
look around find the choke "flap" on the carb is stuck (its a 77 johnson so just cheap thrills nothing fancy) i wiggeld it around and some grease. BINGO sparks up first go
get boat in water 4:30
head out to ward island and i realise the guy who forgot the fule line is in shorts and a t-shirt = Idiot
hour of him going round and round not wanting to anchor anywhere and his knees turn some wierd blue colour....that cnt be good
head back 5:45
from eastbouorne to woburne 3 fone calls and 2 txts from friends girlfriend to see why we are so late to pick her up, then we get there and wait 20 min for her to get ready
i get droped off at 7:10 at home (keeping in mind i was supose to work from 2 and they let me start at 7 and i got no fishing done at all)
got to work 7:25
needles to say i was very emotional by the time i got to work

Chin up Quasievil your not alone, although you are an extreme case of bad luck theres others like me who are not letting you take the load all by yourself

[badlieutenant]

a few years ago a mate of mine decided to come north for a 21st. He rode his vfr up from welly with a friend. Halfway up the island he gets a flat tyre and just manages to make it to a service station where he and his mate remove the tyre. He falls asleep near his bike while our mate shoots of to a nearby town to get the puncture repaired. When he returns they fit the wheel and fill up.
Thats when my mate (we could call him monkeyboy) discovers his wallet has been stolen while he had his kip. Roughly he lost five or six hundred dollars in cash. But our mate offers to cover him for the weekend so at least his only problem will be getting replacement cards etc.
Nearish to hamiltron the vfr comes to a stop for no reason. It turns over but wont start. Much frustration. Eventually it screams to life after a push start. They attempt to continue on thier way and all appears well untill bike stuffs out again. Vfr guy has an uncle that lives near by so they give him a ring and he saves the day by picking up the bike and taking it back to his house. Monkeyboy and our friend continue, two up, to the party. I think I forgot to mention its been pissing down the whole time.
A good time at the party and with serious hangovers they set off the next day back to hamilton. With an idea that the vfr is having fuel problems they take the bike into a local shop who strip the entire fuel system apart (insert "chi ching sound" of money) and replace the odd bit that might be dodge.
Bike starts and runs fine. Thinking all is well they pack the bikes and set off again and get about an hour out of town when bike breaks down again. By this stage our mate has had a few delays because of monkey boy and when the vfr fires back into life he follows him back to town but because he has to work the next day our mate heads off returning to welly alone.
Monkeyboy pulls bits off of bike and goes over fuel system with micrometer. A few more dodge things are found and "fixed". Next day dawns showery and wet. Again. Thinking that most likely the problem has been sorted he heads off back to welly, pocket full of borrowed money (chi ching).
He gets about 150kms and bike breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Fearing for his belongings he pushes the bike 1 km or 2 to the nearest farm house (in the rain) and rings his uncle. His bloody awesome uncle comes out to pick the bike up and they head back into town. As they fuel up at a petrol station the mirror of another truck, also fueling up, clips the mirror of his bike as it is leaving with its own mirror and rips front fairing (chi ching).
Monkey boy by this stage has given up on the bike and arranges for it to be shipped down to a wellington bike shop for repairs (chi ching). He also cant put work off any longer so he books a ticket on a overnight bus to welly (chi ching).
The lady in front of him on the bus is a large lady who decides to read her book with the light focused directly in his face. At some point in the wee hours of the morning the bus goes over a bump which is just enough to let the recliner of the large ladys seat give way. The seat unfolds rapidly and crashes onto monkey boys knees. He would have swapped seats but the bus was full. So with large lady crushing his legs for 4 hours he arrives back in welly. (chi crunch)
The next day he hitches out to the bike shop and gets there in time to see his bike coming out of it's crate. Something heavy has been rested on top of the crate and broken thru and worn/rubbed a whole thru his tank. And the insurance ?? he couldnt afford any so (chi ching) he has to find a second hand one. In the end the baffle was loose and sometimes it would be bumped in such a way that his whole exhaust would prevent any flow of air. The whole journey all up cost him about 2500 -3000.

Stay at home on Friday 13th... in fact stay in bed all day, then nothing else can happen to you.

Might not be such a grand idea, once part of a jet engine broke away from the plane and crashed through a roof landing on the bed. Well, virtually disintergrating the bed. Perhaps stay in the garden shed.
