Chch Weds Maintenance Evenings 2010

[KiwiPhoenix]

Me neither! Last time I tried that (20+ years ago now (EEK!)) up went the front but the front wheel remained on the ground! Luckily I managed to gently put it down on the lawn so no damage to the forks, just my childishly enthusiastic ego. Had a good laugh about it.
Once the wheel was back on and properly secured, my neighbour tried it and ended up on his back with the bike on top of him

Ouch! Me thinks I won't be doing any wheelies, well not intentional ones anyways

And the guzzi is off the road again...sigh
Just got my baby fixed & tuned on wen's after waiting for parts from aussie, and she went down this morning with the BIG quake.
Damage=
Broken wing mirror

Our thoughts go out to the rest of you all...hope your alll ok and no major damage....yell if you need anything!

[KiwiPhoenix]

Thankfully bike is still standing, might check it again due to the aftershocks, no major damage here but the aftershocks are freaking me out!

Ditto, muchly - even tho on centrestand the RS decided to have a leapfrog encounter with the rear door of the SOs Toymota - cracked fairing, bent mirror mount, scratches - lucky mirror popped as it was supposed to. Door on car isn't pretty either, mount almost poked thru the skin; however so far all other issues better, so can't complain - could be a helluva lot worse.

Take care all...

I hope everyone is ok.. luckily my bike suffered no damage and neither did i.. altho feeling a little stressed like a lot of us.. stay well everyone

Hey kids, I'm so glad to read so many people have come away (relatively) unscathed!
We've all been very very lucky considering ...
Because the schools are closed as is the CSM, I'm effectively unemployed for the next while so if anyone needs any help with anything, lemme know as I'm going to have lots of spare time!

Anyone still interested in doing something on wed night.. feel the need for company and a ride if short

Would be in for something (fixed the busted mirror from Sat AM and the %*%# flakey ignition switch) but
(a) where to meet
(b) where to go (without being a nuisance)
(c) when to head back (don't want to into strife on damaged roads in the dark!!)

What thinketh the hive mind?

[KiwiPhoenix]

I'll decide whether or not I wanna come on Wednesday. Still feeling very spooked with all the aftershocks!

You'll be fine. Day off for me so may even venture out for a ride if the weather is good

[kerryhare]

but i am not coming along.

[Flip]

I'm keen for a wee run also. I had a business trip to Stockton on Wednesday cancelled today because the factory has not started up after the shake and they think it will be a good idea if the engineer hangs around for the start up after an earthquake.

The roads are mostly fine out my way, but Godley house is buggered.

Heard its pretty buggered.
Sad but think quake is a good thing in some ways , alot of new buildings and better houses that would otherwise never happen

old taitapu road now has an interesting set of bumps, ridges and fallen-away bits, and still sports a rather duck-friendly aquatic section near the winery. it's a bit like an obstacle course!

where should we meet up tomorrow and what time? is BurgerKing car park open (forgot to check today)?

sunset is 18:10
