My Wellington mission

[pixc]

Ive been learning to ride for 6 months now and I decided that I would take my wee bike on a nice long ride to Wellington to watch the Teams stockcar champs. What a haul! I learnt that bugs guts is indeed green. I got a very good look at some bird intestines that got stuck to my visor after the car in front splattered it and no matter how much natural or artificial butt padding I had my back-side is still got sore.

I tried to tighten my chain at wellington but I made a mess of it. I was stranded in Hutt Valley on my own with a pakaroo'd chain. 1 1/2 hours I kinda waited and stressed uptill I managed to get hold of someone to come help me. Good on ya Dad! Your a trooper So off I went on my merry way..on my own..kinda crapping myself at the enormity of riding back on my own not quite confident that dad had sorted my bike. I lost faith in him when he said "Oh a chain..I havent had to tighten one of these for 20 years"

Amongst other things, I have learnt I really really needed earplugs. And I really really really need some help learning basic motorcycle maintenance type stuff. I wouldnt hurt for me to go with someone else next time either..kinda got me wondering what would happen if I came a gutsa.

end of woffle

but you left out the most important part .. who won the stockcar teams champs ????

[crashe]

Well done.........

Next time wont be so hard......... on the butt....
The more you ride your butt will get used to being in the seat for hours on end.

Sometimes thou it pays to when you refuel, go for a pitstop and a little walk to help stretch the legs etc.....

Ah... the 1st long ride. I remember it well. Even if it was many many moons ago. Its a whole lot easier from here on in. Good idea on the basic maintenance thing.
Its a great feeling of achievement completing a ride like that for the first time.
Oh BTW good write too
