Canterbury Wednesday Night Ride

[cruza]

Peeteey New Battery time!

peeteey prob already looking thru $1res auctions on trademe

[willytheekid]

Yea, t'was a nice ride, apart from losing almost all electrical power. The bike ran, just, but when I turned on the lights the were thing would grind to a halt. Didn't even have enough juice for the led indicators or brake lights!
Time for a new alternator methinks?

The look of confusion on some of the faces when I start following them around the Bays and then at the end when I think Stefan and Ben saw me and didn't realise I had gone home to swap bikes. All they saw was me leaving on one bike and arriving on another!

Thanks to all for a fun evening

Pssst.....guess what I have sitting in the shed for you mate

Yup, It sounds like its new battery time...and cos your such a good guy and helped bring PhatGirl home for me....you get the mates rate!

Hi WTK. You are of course aware of MotoKiwi??????

Hi WTK. You are of course aware of MotoKiwi??????

Gidday gloplg

Oh yeah....love dealing with pete at motokiwi (he's the only guy I go through for guzzi parts...not the cheapest..but easily the best!)
Pete's service and support has been amazing over the past few years (and all the tips & advice!).....unfortunately the Keihins aren't standard on guzzi's, so he dosn't stock parts etc for them and can't really source them.
...but thanks for reminding me...gotta send him and his wife a xmas card

[gloplg]

Yes WTK I have found Pete's service to be great, AAA+ for effort.

Speeking of eff it, if the weather is ok on Sunday is anyone interested in going for a tootle/pootle/ride somewhere?????

I was thinking of BK 12.00 for 12.30 depart, fish and chips, Akaroa????

I thought the Katana was sons engine last week, or is that another sign of my old age????

[gloplg]

I can't, I'm going rock climbing for a couple of hours.

Be careful please, rock climbing ranks above ladders on my chicken scale

[Peeteey]

Ah, that was the spare engine. There's a cheap rolling chassis of a DR350 on tm at the mo that I would love to transplant it into!

[KiwiPhoenix]

Looks like I'll be in the car, MinxiMe is wanting to go out!! Managed to persuade her we'll go out tomorrow.... anyone else wants to go in the car, drop me a message.
