Bugger
Decided today seen as tho it was such a beaut day here in the manawatu (Very Rare) that i would take the scooter out for a blat. (Kids and hubby holidaying in Motueka)Vinigar hill was my ride of choice, cause lotsa corners. Ha Ha. Ride out was awsome, heaps of bikes out on road today and even got a wave from police car. (Have no baffles in so noisy as shit) (Adrenaline rush). Stopped at stormy point and took photo to send to hubby cause he too car down south and he wouldve been bummed. Hee Hee. Turned into Vinigar hill river, (had intentions of having a quick dip in the river) and back brake locked up. Had front brake on but felt like it was slipping. Parked up and checked front brakes. Bloody seal had gone and there was shit for miles, hence the brake not working, wiped clean and decided to putt home, using back brake only. Went to put stand up and bloody spring had come off, so had nothing to hold stand up with. Have long hair, so pulled out hair tie, burnt it with lighter so would be stronger on ends and tied stand up to frame. Then off again for home, Back brake very touchy and goes into wheel lock easy so cruised home with no brakes and leaking seal.lucky I know the roads or couldve been road kill. Lotsa lovely sharp corners!!!
