Why I need to eat more pies....

[Str8 Jacket]

Those of you that live in Wgtn probably know that it really is not a good idea to be riding out there right now....
Well I was and I got blown over AGAIN! I was turning right into Vivian from Taranaki, while waiting at the lights the wind was blowing me everyway possible so I thought, "I wont lean my bike going around the corner". And I didnt but the wind just blew me over anyway. No one stopped and two walkwise guy's walked across the road on the other side without so much as looking. Gee I wish I was invisible when I was doing 'naughty' things....
Anyway I got the bike up and rode it to where I was going and the engine etc is sweet but my lovely Knead-it indicator mounting has broken and the indicator cover has broken off... At the moment I really need to replace my brake pads and change the brake fluid, if I was a millionaire I would be sweet, but im not so if anyone has a right hand indicator for a KR150 that they would sell me for really really really cheap could you please let me know, I will buy it!

[cowpoos]

your a twit.....I'll buy ya a beer....and let ya chew m ear off about you big crash....

[TonyB]

wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a pair of aftermarket indicators and put the spare KR150 one on Trademe??

[Colapop]

Jeez girl!! You need to what a day for it to happen. Getting fatter won't help - even if you doubled your weight you woulda struggled today. Hell, I woulda struggled today and I got a good grip on the planet.


I'm just up the road if ya need help... - I have "Knead It"

Thanks for the offer, I was taking dinner to Glenns (Hataitai) so im there now and the bikes in his garage where it'll probably stay through the rest of the winter months.... I think I may have to consider getting my cage licence

Good idea... Once I have calmed down I may start thinking a bit better... But yeah good idea, thanks!

Just get your learners, no 250 restrictions. (I know where there's a Shiatsu Jihad that you'd probably be allowed to use!! )

Just get a naked bike... as a second bike. They don't get caught by the wind as much and if the do fall over there's less damage (usually). Get something old and heavy. My old KZ550 was perfect for the job. But there's lots more bikes that'll do what you need. And being old they're cheap and don't need full cover insurance.

Bummer Str8! I wussed out and took the bus today. On the plus side, I had free booze at the work do, which I would have had to stay away from if I was riding on my L plate....which doesn't help you much (sorry), but I'm feeling pretty good!

Gezus Girl....you have to be more careful.
If you know it's going to be really crappy and blowing a gale, why not take the bus or hitch a lift with some mates and keep yourself safe and your bike in one piece.
Be a shame to miss out on all the mint riding when the weather's better.

it was quite windy out here in the hutt too, i went for a walk in the rain to go get a rego wearing the bike jacket and got more soaked than i did on the way home

atleast in town you have alternative trasnport should the need arise, ive got my bike and my feet and lets just say that i'd rather be riding in the wind/rain than walking in it!

Glad your ok - *checks post for offensive material* - looks clean

oh yea, go for some after market indicators. have you seen the ones on my bandit? they're alot nicer than the stock ones, its up to you though.

Yeah I know!!!! Thats whats annoying me, cause I have left the bike in the garage and bused it a few times before because if the wind. It wasnt blowing a gale in fact there wasnt much wind at all when I left home! The wind didnt pick up until I was way out of Karori into town by then I wished I had taken the bus. Other thing is, is that it's at least $6 from karori to hataitai!

Bad luck Str8 Jacket but lose the pie theories, not a good idea. Cheers John.

[JimO]

dont worry as you get older you will be plenty heavier and probably pear shaped as gravity takes over, so if your still riding you wont get blown over so easy

Hey sorry to hear about this. Is it just the indicator and its mounting that's damaged or the fairing as well? I hope you don't have to park the bike for the rest of the winter.

With us being bikers I know the few crashes I've seen we rush out and help - check the person and pick up the bike make sure its not leaking fuel et, but it is weird how the rest of the crowd don't even see the bike and biker.

I'd agree with the comments above - forget the pies - but hey I wouldn't mind seeing you at lunch again sometime all the same.
