RIDE POSTPONED see post #13

I've finally got the Bandit back together, so am going on a last ride on the Zeal down SH22 before I sell it.

I'll be leaving the Papakura Autobahn/BP at 9am.
Route will be Great South road, Ridge road, SH22 to Ngaruawahia then possibly heading back through Glen Afton and some of the other back roads to get to SH22 again.

Anyone is welcome.
Ride at your own pace.

I don't want to come, I've got heaps of chores to catch up on, I'm slowy going broke paying for petrol, my wretched rear tyre like my ugly head is balding quite badly, the chain and sprockets need replacing too, god knows what the oil looks like it's been nearly 5K's of my usual riding.......

Damn you Erik - I hate you for making me come on this ride

Make sure you kick that ZZR rider out of bed and drag him along too. Been a while since I last rode a ZZR.

But you are constantly inspecting your oil level during rides...

stifarms, I've got stuff to do in the afternoon so I'll have to catch you some other time.

justsomeguy, I asked Ranzer if he wanted to come but he wasn't too interested and I can't be stuffed hassling him.

Death, I'll keep an eye out for ya.

No the MC22 comes with a dip stick not a window, the oil should be fine, was only filled a month or so ago - still I should have checked it.

I checked the tyres, radiator, coolant and brake fluid levels, chain condition rear sprocket, rocker cover gasket, exhaust manifold screws/bolts, alternator cover gasket, gear lever bolt, fairing stiff ness = loose bolts and whatever you can see by glancing over your baby in 2 mins.

Can I have some of your ice cream?

**erik** · 12th March 2006, 07:16

the weather is looking crap, so I'll postpone the ride an hour.
I'll post around 9 to confirm whether I'm still going.

**erik** · 12th March 2006, 08:09

CANCELLED.

I think I'll wait till a nicer day.

You do all that while your riding, I understand what you doing now.
