ZXRider convinced me to dust Scoot off and come for a road ride - my last experience on the street was shit due to a wanker in a Corolla with anger management issues so I wasn't all that keen to stray far from the comparitive safety of Hampton Downs. But Lance is convincing, and so we went for a ride out to Puhoi, and a couple of laps of Woodcocks.
Long story short, we would normally have some useful stuff with us, tire warmers, fuel, food, and most importantly tools - but given the race trailer was 100km away; fixing the small mechanical issue my rear set had was looking problematic.
But, the Biker God smiled, and a nice bloke on a Yamaha bouncy castle 660 offroad bike (complete with GPS and mini bar) pootled past and stopped, offering his tools for our use. 2 minutes of wrenching, and 20 minutes of good conversation later, Scoot was 100% again, and looking forward to her next track outing.
Mr Yamaha is a KiwiBiker, which proves to me that there are some good people on this site.
Cheers mate.
