Random question: Can someone borrow my bike for a day? (Welly/Kapiti)

**nomnomnom** · 12th October 2012, 10:52

So lets change this to:

If anyone lives in Pram/Kapiti area and wants to spend some afternoons in my garage teaching me basics about my bike.... BE NICE im a learner hahaha

Beers + Pizza will be supplied

.. after crashing my bike Jan this year, ended up with a torn ACL, which meant surgery and now lots of recovery time.

Have kept my bike and cant WAIT to ride it again, but unfortunately I still have around 5 months recovery to go....

So my brand new bike (has 8 hours TOTAL on a new engine....) has sat there....bored..... since Jan.

I have been starting it up every week or so and letting it idle for a few mins, but I think its about time someone give it a good go for me.

So if you are in the Welly/Kapiti region, are trustworthy and bike savvy can you please get in contact!

Its a 2011 Forza 230, goes like a cut cat

Bravely foolish?

**nomnomnom** · 12th October 2012, 11:20

ahhhm.... no and no? lol

i'd say BRAVE...and trusting! Maybe its just me but i've heard that bikers are pretty damned awesome, and from my experience so far Id agree with that... every rider I'v met through this forum so far has been a top gal/bloke so HA

Your bike will keep until you're fit enough to ride again

What he said ^^

But if you're quite insistant that you want someone to take it for a squirt for ya, i'm in Te Horo so could take it out for a strop pretty much anytime !

Edit : It not a bloody road bike is it lol Could Take it up the forks but why the fuck bother i say ! Save the piston till you can ride again rather than let some one else wear it out !

Not as bad as giving it to some knobjockey who will leave your precious bike in pieces with a rooted engine, clutch etc.

We have bikes sitting all the time for long periods. They're fine from it.
