What if I stall at the lights or something? Everyone will laugh at me.

Guess what I did on last night's ride

Something to do with your avatar?

Just referring to doko's fear of stalling at the lights and looking stupid, hence the quote.

I stalled it as well, i went to take off after the train had passed. The cars behind me thought it was quite funny.

Me to, KTMs don't start quick after stalling so cant hide it easy

It was a Good ride Gunner at the for and the Blue chook chaser at the tail.
Apparently according to the BMW GS rider we stuck close to the speed limit so its obvious my speedo is out quite bit
and I will have to get it fixed

Some wheelies done but all on private roads

and thanks to Gunners great navigating skills its was an enjoyable route with lots of lies told at the African bar afterwards

I'm glad I chose the ride over office work (which I still haven't finished:

)

Holy shit, will have to make an effort to come out for a spin. Last time I saw you was when you had the SRAD and particular pillion forgot to hang on............

Looking good for the 9th now, sounds like our staff do is either off or a different date.

Im not going to be back out for a while now.
Noticed on the way home the headlights werent working. fuses etc.. all ok. one of the main electrical plugs in the front of the bike had some burnt out connectors, and i cant find evidence of any loose wires to make the reconnections... so looking at a whole new wiring harness

Sounds like a Suzuki.
