Learner Ride to Taupo (Saturday 11 Feb 2012)

Just no trust!

Of course I trust you, jezz! it was my reserve tank I knew nothing about

[thehovel]

Sigh, design flaw - no petrol gauge only a reserve light and it had been on it quite some time, guess who would have been grumpy if I ran out of gas on the motorway......

All (99%)bikes have a fuel gauge, it's your trip meter. Learn how far you get before the light or reserve happens. Then you have 30km before it is pushing time. Now all you have to do is the maths when you see distance signs. Regards Richard

Indeed my wise friend I was getting familiar with Betsy had only had her for about 3 weeks at the time, now it doesn't faze me at all - must be lurve

Even with a new fan-dangled fuel indicator thing-a-ma-jig, I had to set the trip metre. I dont even know how many kms Millie has done, only what her last trip was...


She has a flat battery...

I'm on the verge of booking a standard cabin for the night (sleeps 4) and have one roomie already.

If 1-2 more people wanna join in with us and split the cost flick me a pm. Price per person is ~$30. The average price goes down the more people there are.

I'm going to book in the next day or two so decide quickly people!



That is all.

I'm all good, just quietly sitting here with a look one may give to a bunch of teens just discovering the meaning of white sauce

oh you old responsible man you!! u need some children then

[ynot slow]

Much the same really. I have a medical certificate till the end of the month, then it will be rexrayed to see how we are progressing. Fingers crossed it is all better

Well, as much as I would love to think I could do this ride, I have decided that it's just a bit too big an ask i'm afraid. But if ya need an extra car and helper I would be more than happy to tag along, but I see that Grant has already organised that side of it. I'm sure you'll all have a blast.

Yes electronic gauges are wonderful they give you 2 trip meters. Then one flat battery start they take it ALL away. I have taken to leaving the odomiter on trip one (fuel gauge) and reading it before each start,see old dogs can learn new tricks slowly. Regards Richard PS Wonderful weather in Levin just no bike to enjoy it, bugger.

I have just booked a 'Kowhai' unit, whoever wanted to share the room (I can't remember who! Lol), we're all sorted out for the weekend's accommodation.
