Wellington Wednesday Night Cruisy Summer Rides (TCWNR) 2010-2011

[carbonhed]

Damn, got all hopeful this morning when the shop rang me to tell me my bike would be ready this afternoon. Then hope started to fade as the phone stayed quiet. At quarter past five the call came it wouldn't be ready until the morning.
Bugger. No ride for me tonight.

Where've you been hiding Cloggy? Bike probs?

Yep, had problems with the battery not being charged. There is no warning of this not happening on the 675's, not even a warning light. It died on the motorway during the SPCA run. All in all this took nearly two weeks to get fixed. All good now though, they fitted a fancy new regulator thingie. Getting a little plug in box from Ecliptech in aussie which will give me warning of the battery being over or under charged via the alarm led on the dashboard. Also got some new rubber today so we're all set for the upcoming holidays.

Hmmm...

I put some sulphate of ammonia on the big lawn here when it started raining a week ago and haven't been able to get the mowers on it since. It's now very green and very long

We were looking at some properties in Greytown / Carterton just last weekend.

Hey, were you riding down Willis St. approx 8am this morning? Gave you the nod as you went past (I was the clueless looking fashion disaster in an orange fluoro vest standing next to the bikes between manners and dixon on Willis). Whoever it was - the Buell sounded great.

so what are we thinking people?

A. Far too much xmas shopping and wind to ride
B. Stuff the weather, go for a wee pootle and fine somewhere near for a lager

So what's it like down there? On the Coast it's cloudy, windy, but not actually raining and the roads look dry... perfect
